Commercial movements of live stock

STOCK MARKET ANIMATED.
Rapidly Rising Prices in United States
Steel and Union Pacific.

New York March 7.-Concerted op-
erations for an advance on a large
scale were clearly-perceptible in the
to disprove the favorite prognostica-
ton of the market based on the ap-
pesrance OF several factors that arous-
ed some apprehension. Unfavorable
influences were entirely ignored in
New York although the market for
Americans in London was slightly af-
fected before trading began here. The
walkout of wage earners in Philadel-
pd1ia, the recurrence of decision day
In the supreme court at Washington
and the unfavorable character of the
weekly bank statement published after
the market closed on Saturday caused
not ripple of anxiety apparently.
Large and aggressive accumulation
and rapidly rising prices in United
States Steel and Union Pacific had a.
sentimental effect on the whole list
that overrode all other considerations.
Definite news was lacking to explain
either movement The movement of
Steel suggested the resumption of mar
ket operations by the same organiZa-
ton which conducted the brilliant
campaign in that stock last year. Re
ports of revived demand for finished
products of steel, especially structural
material used in improvements of
manufacturing plants, and the pros
pecnve demand from railroads sug-
gested by the supply of resources Sc
cured by bond issues underlay the
strength of steel. Union Pacific was
favorably affected by the character of
the days testimony in the hearing CT
the governments suit against the
merger. The recital of Union Pacific
history by one of its bankers was read
with profound interest in Wall street,
the more so as it touched on current
affairs in the questions bearing on re-
cent additions to holdings of Southern
Pacific. No question was raised of a
probable decision in the American To-
bacco case at Washington, in contrast
with the rule on preceding Mondays
when the probability of a decision was
as remote.
Although the stock market paid no
attention to the bank statement, that
exhibit was the subject of interested
comment in other quarters. No very
clear light was thrown on the unex-
planned decrea sc of upwards of 3d.
000, 900 in cash held by the clearing
mated up to $4,000 900 was looked for.
The suggestion was heard that the
great sum of cash had gone into some
one of the great private international
banking houses. The purpose of such
withdrawal remained a mystery. An
arbitrary withdrawal of cash from the
money market might be expected to
raise the interest rate. The time loan
market today, in fact, became notably
strong, and the supplies offered sensi-
bly, diminished. The call loan market
was not affected The advance in for
eign exchange halted, Notwithstanding

pEPALMA VS.. ROBERTSON.
Rival Auto Drivers to Meet for Track
Championship.

OF the automobile races scheduled
for the early spring .one which is at
tracing attention is the $4,000 track
championship match between Ralph
De Palma and George Robertson. This
race is to take place the latter part of
April or the second week in May.
In the recent Mardi Gras meet at
New Orleans Robertson had to forego,
a meeting with De Palma through
breaking a crankshaft. He was de-
spondent over this mishap, and offered
all kinds of wagers that he could beat
the Italian star. After much heated
argument. Homer c. George. manager
of the Mardi Gras meet, offered to ar
range a match between the two. with
their crack cars. The question OF terms
was difficult to decide until Mr.. George
offered a $4,000 purse for three i've
mile heats, which is to be divided
$1,000 each for appearance, with $4,000
additional to the winner. Both signed
articles of agreement upon this basis,
and Fred J. Wagner was obtained to
start the match
The match will be in connection
with a two-day meet, and will be the
star event of the first day, the three
heats being decided in one afternoon.
