BULL MOVEMENT
WELL 5UST A|NED
Aggressive leadership, Which
Took Hold OF Market Last
Week. Asserted Itself.
ENCOURAGING RUMORs AFL0AT
One That Interstate Commerce
Commission Would Allow Rail
roads to Advance Rates.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE aggressive
speculative leadership which took hold
of the stock market late last week as
serted itself again to-day. and prices
were lifted substantially. The obvious
Capitalization of the operations foster.
ed the conviction that important fl
nancial interests were embarked in n
concerted movement for extending the
rise with the probable approval of
banking interests looking to the fur
therence of coming plans for necessary
financing which confront them.
The upturn in the market was
notable for n revival Of rumors. The
most potent of these in It's effect on
the market was revival Of the re-
port set afloat last week that confer
ences were in progress to secure as
surance of permission being granted
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to the railroads TO adopt mod
crate advance in freight rates in re-
turn for agreements to maintain wages
by the railroads. There is genera
recognition of the necessity con
fronting the railroads to secure re
adjustment of the proportion Of profits
to earnings. either by reduction OF ex-
penses or by increase of charges The
current assumption in the specula-
ton is that the government authorl-
ties will be so solictious to aid I'M
sustaining wages of labor that con-
sent will be given to an increase In
freight rates. The reaction late In
the day was partly duo to profit taxi
Ing The instructions from President
Roosevelt to the Commission of Cor
porations to investigate stock trad

MORE FISH HATCHERlES
FOR PUGET SOUND WATERS

Washington, May 3O-A bill has
been passed by the house providing
for the establishment of two or three
more fish culture stations on Puget
sound, Washington, for the propaga-
ton of salmon and other food fish.
The bill gave rise to a good deal of
criticism Of The speaker by several
democrats, as they charged he had
shown favoritism In allowing that par
ticular measure to be considered while
others of similar nature must re-
main in committee. Mr.. Humphrey Of
Washington urged the passage of the
biM, pleading that the hatcheries were
necessary in order to prevent the salm-
ON from becoming extinct. The bill
was opposed by Messrs. Williams,
Spight and Canler of Mississippi. It
was supported by Mr.. Payne Of New
York, who said that it was a case Of
legislating for the whole country.

vey corps is engaged in running sur
vey lines in the mountains near Phil
lipsburg, Mont, to determine the

boom days Of silver and was used at
the Bimetallic and Granite Mountain
mines, owned by Charles d. Mcclure
and his associates of st. Louis, togeth-
er with q few Montanans. The area
