VERY GOOD TONE

COMBINE TO BUY STOCKS

New York, April 1.-Price movements in the stock market developed a marked tendency to gains and losses, showing ir- regularity during the progress of most Of the trading. This mixed movement did, however, obscure the absorption power of the market and the effective character of the new demand which has come into the market the last few days. The high level at which prices were start ed added to the sharp advances scored yesterday and combined with the ma terial broadening of the participation from miscellaneous outside sources, offered so advantageous an opportunity to convert paper profits into cash that it was taken advantage of on a very large scale by previous purchasers. The professional element on the floor of the stock exchange on evidence of~.this realizing added the weight of extensive short. sales and worked for a reaction by offering prices at concessions.
 It was in the face of these adverse conditions that the market demonstrated most strikingly its resistant power. Pres sure to realize was lessened as prices re- ceded and protective measures were added by pushing prices upward at new points. This aggressive show of strength intim- dated the bears and induced them to reverse their operations, buying to cover the shorts put out earlier and in some cases turning to the long side of the market.
 The action of the market in the last few days had it's effect in bringing in some increase of buying orders at the outset, but the concentrated character of the dealings and the concerted oper- ations of the advance gave evidence of an organized speculative party at work in the market. Names were free ly banded about in the days discus sion of the probable identity of the or ganization, suppositions pointing to wealthy capitalists associated with great market movements of the past. These rumors, lacking entirely in authority as they were, were of great effect in shap- ing speculative sentiment, nevertheless. The professional element viewed the movement with suspicion and were con- stantly testing the market for reac- tion, but without success.
 The basis for the movement continued to be the conviction that the bottom of the business depression had been touched and that improvement is to follow. Some of the days news confirmed the views of an upward trend of business The public profession of confidence by E. H. Hartman to this effect was one of the items of this news. So, also, was the announcement that the Ensley steel
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-02

plant of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company had not been shut down on April as had been previously determined, owing to the receipt or enough new orders to extend the active period of operations.
 The large business booked in March for structural steel was noted as a con- sequence of lower prices in that trade, Notices of wage reductions failed to cause a disturbance owing to the apparent ac- ceptance by workmen of the situation created by lower prices for products. The action of United States Steel in the later market, in its aggressive advance through enormous sales made at 5O to top price of 51 was of material senti- mental effect on the whole market. News from Washington of formidable opposi- tion forming to some of the proposed tariff reductions seemed to be accepted with equanimity. February earnings re- ports of railroads are regarded as sat isfactory evidence of improving traffic conditions.
 The reduction in the Bank of Eng lands discount rate, although expected, gave the initial impetus to the rise and was an influence in inducing continued purchases of stocks by foreigners. Use was made by the speculative element of words and phrases from the numer- ous interviews emitted by F. H. Harri- man to push upward movements in spe- clal stocks. Encouraging reports of the condition of the winter wheat crop made a substantial basis for much of the hopefulness over business prospects. The market was strongest and most active at the close of the day.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $6, 6,466,0Oo.

WHEAT MAKES NEW
 PRICE RECORD
  Advance Is Made Without Ef- fort or Sensation MARKET STRONG ALL DAY Corn Is Firm Due to Buying of May Delivery By Cash Interests and Net Gain Is Made-oats Steady.
 Provisions Weak
MARKET STRONG ALL DAY

Chicago, April 1.-Wheat prices ad- vanced today to new high record marks for the season for all deliveries as a result of strong cables and crop dam age reports. The top for May was reached at S1 .201s and for July at $1 .0S. The market closed strong at net gains for the day of BQ%c. Corn also closed firm but oats were barely steady and provisions weak.
 The advance of wheat prices to a new high level was made without any unusual excitement and the volume of trade. while large, was not sensational in magnitude The market was strong throughout the entire session with the exception of a brief period early in the day when a moderate reaction occurred on liberal sales by leading holder. Demand by this same trader was partly responsible for the advance later in the session which carried prices beyond the previous best mark. Sharp advances at nearly all the leading grain centers of Europe, brisk de- mand for the cash grain in this country and fresh reports of damage to the grow ing crop, particularly in Ohio and India, were the chief reasons for the bulnsh sentiment which prevailed throughout the day. The range on May was between H.19 and $1.201s, while July sold be- tween $1.06A and 1.OS. The market closed strong with May at sl19%@1. 20 and July at $1.o7as91 O7A.
 The feature in corn was the buying of the May delivery by cash interests which caused considerable firmness in the market in general. The market closed firm at net gains of a shade to A13sc.
 Trade in oats was quiet and the mar ket was barely steady.
 Despite the strength of wheat and corn the provision market was heavy nearly all day Weakness in the cotton seed oil market had a depressing effect on lard. Local longs were moderate sellers throughout the day. At the close prices were 21so higher to Dc lower.
 Cash quotations ranged as follow:

Hubbard Bros. e Co.'s Letter.

New York, April 1.-Opening with disappointing advices from Europe, where the same depression exists in the yarn market as it Is found in Amer ica, the market soon felt the presence of new buying, which isebelieved to be for western account. These purchases are based upon the possible damage to the crop yet to be planted on the belief that the dry weather in Texas creates a doubt as to the possibility of grow ing crop in that state the coming sea- son sufficient to raise a full crop over the entire country. It is estimated that the purchases today aggregated 30, ,O0O bales. sharp improvement In Liver pool is expected to answer the advance here today. The south sold on the ad- vance.

COTTON ADVANCES
 ID ID Il POINTS Prices Are Lower At Opening on Poor oreign News DEMAND IS INCREASED Situation Is Considered Critical Owing to Dry Weather In Texas and
 Fear of Heavy Rains
 In May.

New York, April 1.-The cotton mar ket was more active today and closed very steady at a net advance of 10 to Il points.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 1 to 3 points in response to lower cables than expected and report ed showers in the southwest, but the precipitation shown on the map was very light, with the forecast calling for fair and warmer weather tonight and tomorrow, and prices here soon rallied on covering and an increasing demand from outside sources.
 The market showed some hesitation during the morning, but became flrmer in the afternoon; stop loss orders were uncovered above 9.30 for October and the active months all sold about F points net higher, or from S1 to 3S points above the low level of last week, while Oc- tober was within Il points of the high record for the season. The close was within a point or so of the best in spite of realizing. Southern spot mar kets were generally unchanged.
 The increased outside demand appears to be based on the idea that tariff agi- tation has been discounted that trade improvement is at hand and that winter drought In Texas has not been materially relieved by March showers, leaving the situation very critical. with damage ap- prehended. either as a result of heavy May rains in compensation for the dry winter or of a dry summer without a reserve supply of moisture in the ground

 Futures opened quiet, unchanged, to point up on rather indifferent cable news. Trading was light all day, but the market held very steady tone. advancing grad ually to level 12 to 10 points above yes- terday's last quotations. Bulls were not in the least aggressive, and bears at times tried to apply pressure, but founu the market proof against their attacks. The strength was due to continued unfavorable weather news, alarming reports of drouth and cold coming from Texas. New Eng land spinners were in the market for good grades of long staple cotton, and this further strengthened contract prices. The close was steady at net advance of II to IA points,
