SOME BIG THINGS IN VIEW
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL

New York, March 7-(Speclal )-Def- mite announcement that E. H. Harri- man would return to New York imme diately excited further buying in the stock market today with the result that tho prices surged upward throughout the en- tire session, closing with material net gains in ail departments. The most re- markable advance was in Copper shares, Amalgamated actually rising more than points. Union Pacific, New York Gen. tral and Reading were the most active features. The advance in Reading was on another weird rumor of leak from the supreme court at Washington on the commodity clause. Consolidated Gas made the sharpest advance, but as it is still many points below it's minimum value the advance attracted little atten- tion.
 Street gossip was busy with alleged plans for New York Central. There is little doubt that Hartman has some big things in view for the property but there what he intends to do. The buying of Central has been impressive and has been done in connection with purchases of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific.
 A further advance in National Lead stocks was the result of reported heavy sales of metal abroad. The lead market has become very active since the Broken Hill mine was closed, the apparent de- mand just now being far in excess of the supply, the conditions in lead being exact ly the reverse of those in copper shares.
 Professionals were in charge of the market most of the week. short in terest was disclosed. in the standard shares much larger than had been ex- pected In the specialties pools did &C., tive manipulation, being backed up by promises made from headquarters. flaw ley stocks were most active of the spe- cialties and have the appearance of mal1- ing good all along the line. The only manipulation that impressed the street as being unjustified was that in Hooking Coal and Iron. There is an indefinite promise of some development in this prop erty that may justify the present market price.
 While-the advance of stocks has seemed reasonable in view of the business con- dtions, it must be admitted that there is an ocean of idle money. Very heavy in vestments have been made by banks and trust institutions in bonds. These bonds have been purchased largely from the public which in turn has had nothing to do with the money but deposit it in the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-03-28

banks which have immediately used 1t over and over to buy bonds, thus multi plying the deposits by the use of the same money. The publis seeing stocks held firm and being unable to use funds in business has apparently been tempted to buy stocks again in a desperate hope of making this idle money yield an in- come. The big people having the banks at their command have apparently de- termined to support their stocks at high levels until such time as the public di- gests them There is no other theory on which the advance of the market can be explained just now for business condi- tions are wretched and the crops are not planted Persons who are willing to take a chance that the crops will be good this year are justified in buying stocks at present prices, but purchases must be made with that idea in view

 The announcement that President Taft is in favor of the ship subsidy policy has caused renewal of the bull talk on Pacific Mail.
 The demand for Nevada Consolidated Copper stocks. which is controlled by the Guggenheim interests, has led to sev- eral offers for blocks of from 5000 to 10,- 900 shares by persons conversant with the value of this property. Predictions are made that Nevada Consolidated will pay a dividend in a short time.

GOOD ADVANCE IN
 COTTON PRICES Market Holds Steady With Tone Much Improved COTTON MILLS ARE BUSY Prediction Is Made of Record Breaking Consumption of Raw Cotton, Which
 Is Indicated By Present
 Conditions.
COTTON MILLS ARE BUSY

New York, March 27.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to s points in response to higher cables and was sus- tained during the early trading by foreign buying, which was supposed to be in the way of undoing straddles or hedges. With the falling off in exports, foreign stocks are being reduced somewhat, and as the cotton is sold the hedges which had been placed in the local market earlier in the season are being covered. Otherwise there appeared to be no particular SUD- port. but the market held steady around the initial figures.
 More rain of the unwelcome variety has fallen over the already soaked cotton fields east of the Mississippi river, while further complaints of cumulatively serl- ous character come from the drouth-af- fected territory of Texas, and yesterday 8 cotton market held steady in spite of the diminutiveness of the turnover.
 The Iron Age which is one of the best of the trade barometers, reports that the only business of consequence done lately has been with the New England States. where the makers of textile machinery, who are busy, have been the principal buyers. This rather confirms the predic- ton of record breaking raw cotton con- sumption in America.
 At New Orleans the narrowing of the differences by 1-16 of cent on all grades below middlng. bringing good ordinary to within 19sc and low middling to within ss of a cent of the middling quotation, Af tro6 6or.e ally to the actual as well as relative scarcity of low grade cotton. On this basis there are buyers of low grades for shipment to New England and southern mills At New York the fixed differ ences are Good ordinary 21a cents off: low middling, 1 cent off middling. As there is good demand from spinners for these grades at the commercial dif- ferences as posted at New Orleans, there Is no possibility of such cotton being ten- dered on New York contracts at the pro- hlbltive fixed differences existing there
 On the other hand, New York's certii- cated stock which, early in January was 155,000 bales, has shrunk to 5000 bales thus opening the way for a midsummer 'corner' of the telling kind. But the bull leaders cannot ''corner anything these days because they cannot round up any assistance of moment. In July, 1903. when southern speculation completely broke the domination of bearish market control, S6,500 bales were rendered them on New York contracts on the first notice day, and before the end of the campaign 26O,O00 bales had been delivered on contract
 The market closed very steady, with prices net to 10 points higher.
 Receipts at the ports today, Is, 4S9 bales, against 16,O64 last week. and 1S,OSe last year. For the week, 100000 bales, against 99,644 last wek and 103073 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, 516i bales, against 2755 last year and at Hous- ton, 3791, against 2S77 last year.

HORSE SHOW PLANS
 ARE ALTERED

London, March 27.-The forthcoming ing thoroughly Americanized. At one horse horsey. They were redolent of the stable and almost the only visitors were clad in fustian or eorduroys. A woman visitor, unless she was a tweed-skirted. heavy-booted amazon, was rare. and as for visit to the horse show figuring prominently in ones social diary-well, 1t was unthinkable.
 Alfred Vanderbilt, who is, of course, the moving spirit of the Olympia show, and his American friends have changed all this. Society women will flock to Olympia airing the latest creations of Worth Paquin or Lucille, and immacu- lately clad men will be in attendance. Even the poster of the show, which has been specialyl designed by the great French artist Simon, at a cost of 5000, will be found when on the boardings, to emphasize the social side at the expense of the equine.
 It depicts a tall, sylph-like lady, ra- diant in an old gold directoire dress, following with her eyes the direction in- dicated by the riding switch of French cavalry officer, who Is evidently pointing out to her some daring feat of Jumping, or the merits of some noble steed
 Thus without figuring in the poster the horse is suggestd, while stress is laid upon the social attractiveness of the show-as in America. Add to this MT. Vanderbilts double London to Brighton coach service. and one may safely pre- dict a busy year for the young million aire

DEAL IN SEPTEMBER

Chicago, March 27.-(Special) )-The strongest feature of the wheat market was the fact that the Patten bulls have gone over into the September-a new crop option-as buyers on large scale Their purchases of September alone today were fully million bushels and they added largely to their July holdings as we'll.
 The big differences between the May and July as compared with the September was possibly an attraction to the bull leaders. The fact that the bulls have entered new crop month as buyers shows that the one word "fail' is not to be considered by them. There will be no further discussion as to whether July is an old crop or a new crop future.
 The bears were a weary lot when the market closed tonight because of the irn- portant change in conditions. They att tackled the Patten structure from all sides, but discovering that it was bomb- proof, they called off their commanders.
 sherson-Hammill, the house believed to represent the Wall street bears, sold early. Some one doing business through the Armour Grain company had wheat for sale and w. II. Lake was a big seller.
 Bullish news from abroad was in evil dence. London and Liverpool reported an urgent demand for wheat cargoes at ad- vances. The English visible supply de- creased 234 900 bushels and a large de- crease in the amount of breadstuffs on ocean passage is promised for Monday. Crop news, while mixed was largely un- favorable.
 Northwestern wheat receipts today were 26O cars and Winnipeg, 323 cars, compared with 256 and 147 cars respectively, a year ago. Primary receipts for the day were 4S2,0O0 bushels and for the week, 3,102, 900, compared with 412,000 and 3,050 900 bushels respectively a year ago.
 There were fractional advances in coarse grains. Corn was f1rmer in sym pathy with wheat but the buying power was not sufficient to force any material advance. Conditions are unchanged Re- ceipts are light and the demand poor The futE-~-~nends on the demand and wheth- CT or not ele country will liquidate their May corn or hold for delivery Local receipts 145 cars with 124 cars estimated for Monday. Primary receipts 351 ,000 bushels, compared with 5S4,000 last year.
 Oats were a shade firmer.t New crop futures were sold and this had de- pressing effect and there was not suffi- cent demand to offset it. Local re- ceipts, 135 cars with 76 cars estimated for Monday. Primary receipts 29200O bushels, against 6O4000 bushels a year ago.
 Grain traders and a prominent Milwau- kee packer sold products on today's bulge and caused price setback. The selling was mostly of July ribs The cash trade in lard and meats was limited An in- creased holding movement is expected the coming week because of the high prices prevailing the last few days.
 Cash quotations ranged as follows:

On this decision foreign buying orders we're executed here during morning, absorbing. the profit taking and advancing the mar ket some 8 to 10 points, closing firm, with higher prices expected in Liver pool on Monday.
