STOCK MARKET
 TURNS UPWARD But Revival Is Weak and Un-
 certain TARIFF WORK ANTICIPATED It Is Not Expected That Dealings on Wall Street Will Show Much vigor Until After the Special ses-

TARIFF WORK ANTICIPATED

New York, March 12.-The rather alm- less drift of prices of stocks turned up- ward today after an uncertain period of backing and filling. Dealings expanded also slightly over yesterdays low level for the year. The first hours business gave promises of all even lower record Of activity than yesterday but in the second hour there was some revival, good pro portion of the days total business being done in that hour. The meagre specula- tion centered in Reading and was based apparently oR the labor outlook.
 The reflection by the miners representa- tives of the counter proposition or the anthracite operators is accepted with pro- fessed equanimity by holders of Reading stock. The prospect of shutdown Of mining operations seems to be regarded not unfavorably as giving opportunity to dispose of an accumulated surplus of coal and to reduce the interest charges for carrying this surplus. This is an argu- ment advanced by buyers of the stock There is an under current of belief that there will be no strike, and this also is factor in modifying the influence of the news from the conference.
 Some of the buying of Reading was sup posed to come from uncovered shorts Dealings in the stock continue to be af- fected more or less by the speculation by an early decision in the commodities test case The movement in the gen. eral list was little more than one of sym pathy with that in Reading. The chance for any revival of stock market activity until the tariff legislation is considered poor. This prospect gives languor to the movements in the market, and was reflected in the way the advance ran out today.
 There is some fear that the tariff bill to come before the committee next week may contain some surprises that Will nrove disagreeable to those intereSed In soma of the industries affected The broad intimation of probable abolition of the duty on iron ore weakened the certificates of participation in the iron and ore properties of the Great Northern today.
 Estimates for the weeks currency movement were followed by languld lhter est in view of the continued pressure oi funds for lending. Announcement was made of further shipments of gold com to London on Saturday, and some 1aliihs off in the net receipts on the interior cur ranov movement was reported, leaving them apparently insufficient to onset the lose on account of gold exports. The ae- olina in bank cash thus indicated was viewed with entire indifference. me price oe conner was marked down again at the New York metal exchange and receoeo
