BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 14.-Many opera
tors are proceeding with considerable
stock market is overdue. They admit.
however that in their judgment prices
will work higher OH the present move
ment, but they think that the advance
thus far has been too rapid to be sus-
tanned much longer without setback II
such a reaction takes -place they think
that the leading issues may be conserva-
lively bought.
Commission houses say that yesterday
they did as little regular business as on
any previous day this week. For in
stance. one house of only moderate size
said that in market of yesterdays &C
tivity it should have handled at least
5000 to 10000 shares, but as a matter
of fact the total dealings were only a
very small fraction of those amounts. The
same story is told by pretty much all OF
the commission houses, both large and
small.
X
Stock exchange interests, however
whose connection with important factors
in Wall street are particularly close. say
that it may be taken as a fact that this
move has the sympathy and support OF
important financial and banking houses.
and that, in their judgment, If 1t is car
ried somewhat further it will pave the
way for financing that Is to be done later
on. Railroad officials say that the vol
ume of business offered is not materially
larger than it was a few weeks ago, but
that there is a better feeling in business
circles. They think this will be followed
by increased trade in due time. What
they regard as most important is the
change in sentiment which, they say, has
tanen place on the part of THE people and
of state authorities.
Although the Southern Railway Com
pany has been among the heaviest suffer
ers of all the railroads in the United
States from unwarranted agitation and
legislation by state politicians, it is un-
derstood that the active interests in that
company feel much morea hopeful regard
ing the outlook. SO far as the political
situation is concerned, than at any time
since it became SO greatly disturbed.

SpeciaI Dispatch 10 The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. March 14.-On the basis
of a report from Washington that the
President was preparing a special mes
sage to Congress asking for an amend
ment of the Sherman law, the stock mar
kct advanced rapidly in the first hour to-
day. 1t was reported that the amend
ment to be asked for WOULD be of such
nature as to afford relief from restrictive
influence, both to the railroads and In la
Dor the immediate result aimed at being
permission for the railroads 10 enter
into certain pooling arrangements.
At the outset 1T was evident that the
reaction i'm the market. which was ex-
pected yesterday. had again been post
poned. Many securities. in particular Ana
, conda and such market leaders as the
Hartman Pacifics, Reading and Northern
Pacific had wider openings than they had
known i'm many weeks, and their prices
Immediately advanced with the hurry of
short coverings.
Heavy trading for both accounts took
place all through the first hour, the SELL
ing being of n character equally good
with the buying. but the market cOntin-
ued TO advance strongly.
The steel stocks were especially strong,
both achieving new high records for the
year on the understanding that the report
of the United States Steel Corporation to
be published next week will contain much
news of an optimistic character.
Railways Active.
Delaware and Hudson was also con-
spicuous by reason of its strong advance,
the movement being due principally to the
abandonment of the suits against it, news
that came too late yesterday to affect
the course of the stock.
Missouri Pacific in the general advance
opened with a good initial gain and scored
a marked advance in shorter time than
the regular market leaders took to record
their gain.
Anaconda had a strong following and a
tip went forth yesterday that the stock
would be marked up in today's trading.
SO that ii. became for the time the specu-
lative favorite, especially since the return
OF the copper boom has been the hope
and expectation of certain faction in
Wall street for weeks past.

Paducah Elks No. 2i7 won from

score was tight, and either team had
a chance TO clnch the victory until
the last man was out. Paducah Elks

win, accompanied by a band OF root

players.
The decided feature of the game
was the base running OF Goodman,
who made the frs score for Paducah

the first inning Goodman was first up.

stole second bag. and was sacrificed

retire him. In hits both teams were

errors as both teams made four. The
batting was lively by both teams.
Bates, of Mayheld, secured long
drive to the outfield, and made -four
sacks. while Robertson. Lloyd and
Williams came on with three baggers.
Lloyd also secured a two sacker. 3
Hale, for Mayfield, pitched a steady
game and held the ELK sluggers down

Z. Tully, of Paducah, paying $500

ed good action, and hoped to develop
him into a good roadster for the har-
ness rings on the Kentucky horse
show circuit, and later on the big
horse show circuit
Cohen thinks he knows a bargain
when he sees one. and soon the trade
was made. The Lexington Driving

and Cohen, who makes no pretension
whatever of being trainer of trot-
tiers, took the gelding TO the track
and began TO work him for the mat
inees. in order to educate him for
company
The speed Of the gelding was
amazing. Every time he worked he
worked faster and finally. after a
few weeks work, Cohen sent him
around the big circle in 2:SO. He
seemed to be good enough for the
slow classes at the matinees. and
was entered. He won the first heat
OF his first race in 2:19. eleven sec
onds faster than he had ever worked,
and repeated the next heat in 2:20.
Cohen continued to drive him in the
matinees. and won the championship
cup with. the gelding In September In
2:14. and with a professional driver
up those who saw the gelding race
think he could have gone the mile
he won the last heat in 2:12.
T. c. jefferson offered Cohen $500
for the gelding, but there was moth
ing doing and having bad luck. he
seemed to have a great future before
him. Cohen turned the gelding over
to "Uncle" Nike Bowerman this
spring and this week he worked a
mile In 2:12 and repeated in 2:12,
going the last half in 1904 and the
last quarter in 81 y. Again he re-
ceived a good stiff offer for the geld
ing but Cohen has declined to sell
him. for he feels confident that he
will work a mile in 2:06 this fall.
Mr.. Bowerman says he will, and II
he does he will have no trouble I'm
getting $4,000 for him and make a
pretty good investment on his $500.
The gelding is bound to improve,
for he does not know what break Is,
and never gets ratified. He has never
made break IN any race at the mat
inees or in his work, and IL he i'm
proves and does not have any bad
luck he will have the big stakes, such
as the Pennsylvania. the Walnut Hill
cup. the Charter Oak. the NJ. and NJ.
and othef stakes OF that class at his
mercy in couple OF years. The geld
ing is not only a trotter by develop
ment. but by breeding. He is a son of
Harry Green, who Is a son OF Milrol.
No one ever heard of Harry Green,
but Milroi is a successful sire. His
dam is Grip. by Gazette. 2:07. by
Onward, and his second dam is Prin-
cess. by Earl. the sire OF the dam of
Boralma, 2:07. He Is not freak,
but simply a good. sensible horse
with a brilliant future before him,
and his development only shows that
there are many buggy horses that
would be stake winners II they were

WALL STREETS MORALS.

The wall street journal cites Henry
Ward Bcccher's statement to a logis-
lativc committee az a defense Of Wall
street practices Mr.. BCecher appear
ed before the senate committee in
1852. when as now a series of Wall
street failures had aroused the public
to the necessity Of doing something.
Mr.. Bccchcr's argument was that
laws are very little help to morality.
You nave got to get your morality
first
But the World, in replying to the
Wall street papers quotation from
B%eechcr, says what the public finds
fault with Is not so much wall streets
morals as Wall streets practices. The
penal code Is not designed to make
burglars religious or to turn thieves
into high-mindcd citizens. but merely
10 prevent their taking other peoples

The Wall street evils OF which the
public complains are not in morals but
