THE STOCK MARKET

New York, March 27.-Latent forces which have been gathering in the stock market came forth more conspfcuously sna GaH qute na PSsi
 There was no conspicuous change in the news to account for the fresh up- ward impetus. bnt the constant m mani. ni. news. which has been the characteris- tic of the weeks market, made . grow ing impression on speculative senti, element to embark on bolder opera tions for an advance. The days mar
 ket was ascribed still to professional
 ons we're o acss IRh Rafh much Sn
 CT freedom. Minor low grade stocks
 were first affected, in continuation of the tendency for the last few days. but the higher grade speculative favorites market broadened out materially after the hesitation was overcome. The prospect pasp of coming period of world tS.
 stimulate speculation. With ths com
 pletion of the coming April ! settle
 notable relaxation in the interest
 rates and probable reduction in the
 official discount rate of the Bank of
 New York seems to have terminated. and New York borrowers ind 1t possi-
 ble to secure funds to advantage in IOTcleH maTkets. Tn0 temporary ollBnt
 hardening of money rates In New York also has given place to renewed easing tendency. Speculative operators were | Inclined to make much of the reported | early return of E. H. Hartman to the financial district as a presage of &C., ! tive steps in various enterprises con-
 nected with his name; The presence
 in his company of President Louis Hill, of the Great Northern added to the speculative impression made by re- | ports of his movements. The half | monthly decrease of 8,507 in the num- Der of idle freight cars reported was
 Q helpful factor in the days advance. The rise continued with increasing an- | imation and buoyancy up to the very | end of the day.
 There was some discrepancy in the decrease in the daily average of loans | reported by the banks, and in the &C., | tual increase in that item on Friday | of over s10,000,0O0. The trust com | pany statement also showed a liberal | expansion of credits. The forces at work for repienishment of the money market are so numerous that the low | ering of the banking surplus for the week received little attention. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par | value, $2,4S4,000
 United States 3's, coupons, have ad-
 vanced 1-2 per cent on all during the | week.

 Selling pressure on the future de- liveries of oats which had . feature of trade the last few days had sub sided almost completely today. and, with fair support by some of the bulls in the wheat pit, the market displayed considerable flrmness.
