NEW YORK. March 23-NOon.-The
higher prices OF yesterday were, in most
cases. carried over into the early trad
ing this morning. and the tone of the
market was firm and good. During the
first hour many stocks gained about
point over the opening, which probably
marks the high point before a reaction.
Sentiment today is distinctly bearish,
and higher prices of the morning
brought out a large supply Of stocks
which can be considered in no other
light than a mild liquidating movement
This movement began with the leaders,
and at this hour has extended to al
mosts the entire list. Stocks are now
back to the opening prices, with every
prospect of going lower There is
dearth Of news, and bull support seems
almost entirely lacking. 4 long line Of
shorts in the market has been accumu-
lating for several days, and until this
is covered. there is not any hope Of
better prices.
one feature OF the market is encour-
aging. and that is the high prices of
copper in the foreign markets, which
We're reported Up stout fractions in the
early cables and held well later. This
is having a strengthening effect upon
the copper stocks, which today have
suffered less generally, than the rail-
roads and other industrials.
Will Stiffen Copper Stocks.
Should this unexpected demand for
the metal continue abroad the result
will be a natural and healthy rise in
these stocks which will materially help
the rest of the stock market
Another element of strength IN the
market is the Interpretation put upon
the annual report OF the Steel trust and
the evidence OF good fnancieung and
good faith contained in il. The report
shows that the methods of the COM
pany, in the face of great difficulties,
have been sound and conservative, and
the careful study which has been given
the report since its appearance has re-
Vived confidence in the steel shares The
fact that the great corporation has gone
on building and blowing in its furnaces
and literally paying no attention 70 the
usual vicissitudes of business. even low
eTing its definite charges for interest
and dividends, is now seen TO be good
business policy
The Interpretation put upon the figures
o. the report by Wall street is that the
future Of the Steel corporation is as
sured and that its securities will surely
feel the result Of that confidence now
and in the future.
