STOCKS ANIMATED
Comprehensive Uplift of Prices Yes.
terday--Demand Still From Pro-
fessonal Side.

New York, March THE stock
market broke into animation today
with comprehensive uplist of prices.
There was disposition to attribute
the demand still to professional
sources for the most part, short inter.
est having become increasingly uneasy
with the power of resistance shown
| BY the mraket through the week. The
coincidence Of the presence in the
| city OF several president of large rail
road systems was responsible for ere.
dence to the report that proposition
was to be made to the national au
thorities on the part of the principal
railroad companies in concert, for m
agreemnt on their part to maintain
wages CT labor on their systems If
they shall be allowed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to make an in
crease in a fixed ratio in the rate of
freight charges. The enormous
changes in the net results to follow a
change of a fraction of mill in
freight charges for conveying one ton
mile on the railroads of the country
have often been commented upon to
Illustrate the importance which such
an adjustment would have. There was
no official confirmation of this report.
The same was true of an assertion
that anthracite carriers had worked |
out plan for meeting the commodity |
clause of the Hepburn rate law which |
goes INTO effect May |, and which hal
threatened serious embarrassments |
to those companies. The announce
ment that the Knickerbocker Trust |
Company will be permitted to resume |
business was a favorable factor.
The market closed very strong at
top prices.
