The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York, March 3.-Operators in
stocks still found their advantage to-
day in working for higher prices. The
supply of stocks for sale was in
creased as the level of the market
rose and the profits on speculative
holdings became more attractive. The
effect of this was TO cause some hes
itation in the price movement. and a
final prehensive reaction; but the
manner in which the profit-taking was
absorbed was regarded as encouraging
in itself.
United States Steel was the spine OF
the market. That stock was taken in
very large amounts to the accOmpani-
ment of various rumOrS put out with
cut stated authority. For instance, it
was asserted that extra dividends
would be declared in successive quar-
tiers of quarter per cent. in addition
to the existing ] per cent. quarterly
rate; providing, it was plausibly add
ed, no disaster shall OVertake the
trade during the current year. AS the

based on these rumors will be seen
to be well in advance of the event.
Conditions in the steel trade We're de-
clared to be improving. Something
was made, also. of the personality of
recently elected directors of the cor
poration as showing a representation
on that board OF independent steel
companies that argues further har-
nomination of the control of the IN
dustry. The news of the withdrawal OF
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., from the
Standard Oil board was cited to prove
that his withdrawal from the United
states Steel board need have no SIM
lister significance. The strength shown
Cor two days in the outside market OF
the stocks of the American Tobacco
and the Standard Oil Cos. was made
much of as proving that inside inter-
ests in these corporations We're free
from anxiety over the outcome of the
government suits against them.
The mood of hopefulness was foster
cd by the increasing number of bond
issues being offered by bankers. These
offerings We're taken as an index OF an
improvement in the investment situa-
ton and as promise of fostering
care of the securities markets in gen.
eral on the part of the great banking
powers which are undertaking this fl
nancing. The prices at which ne"
bonds are being offered illustrate the
necessity still of attractive return in
order to enlist new capital.
The prevailing mood Of the specula-
ton was seen in the ignoring of sucf
items of news as the calling of gen.
eral strike in Philadelphia and the re-
lection of the Baltimore & OhioS OIL
fer to it's employees of wage terms. Ihe
destructive storm blockades IN the
