NEW YORK. March 19.-With the ex-

actions upon the stock exchange for the
first three hours today resulted in net ad-
vances for a majority OF the active secur-
ties. The exceptions were the stocks of
the 1nterborough Metropolitan and the
Third Avenue street railway. both Of
which lost two or three points in the
early dealings
rs a result of reports that the New
Haven railroad was behind the enter
way without cost to the city. supporters of
Third Avenue stock all during the early
stages of its receivership had pinned their
faith somewhat TO the theory that the
New Haven road was interested in devel-
oping the Third Avenue system. with a
view To its ultimate utilization a feeder
for the New Haven suburban traffic
When it became known today that the
New Haven road was more directly con-
subway many of the holders of Third
Avenue stock thought it was a good time
10 get out.
The same report about the New Ravens
interest in building a competing subway
naturally had effect upon the INTERIOR
ough- Metropolitan securities, and the pre-
.erred shares of that company declined

though. as in the case of Third Avenue.
some OF the loss was subsequently
gained.
