Shorts Find Little Stock Offering and Cover
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET SHOWS
STRENGTH ON SHORTS COVERING
AND LIGHT OFFERINGS.

NEW YORK. March Ga surprise
party was in waiting for the bears on
Wall Street when they came downtown
to look over the situation and decide
whether 1t would be the part of wisdom
to put out few more shorts in antici-
patton Of the decision from the Supreme
Court. After the opening of the market
they changed their minds. The absence
of stock for sale was the chief reason,
and whenever stock is not easily ac-
Quired the bear loses his assurance and
runs to cover, taking his loss with as
cheerful a feeling as possible. 1t abso-
lutely surprised the bears to find that
the extra session Of Congress was not
a sufficient scare to the holders of Sc
curities to make them throw stocks
right and left, with price a secondary
consideration, many of them rushed to
covering orders and Immediately chang
ed front and took position with the
bulls
1t was generally remarked in financial
circles that the market was oversold,
that the Clean-Out last week had been
complete, and left little liquidation.
Moreover, the comment was that the ac-
zion of the market last week had made
the situation much more reasonable on
the eve of the Supreme Court decisions.
After the sharp rise in the opening
hour, well maintained and gradually
added to in the second hour, the market,
the trading following the usual action
on Monday toward the noon hour,
quieted down, moving slowly, but hold

! ing on to its gain in excellent manner.
Everyone awaited the hour for the de-
cisions-everyone hoped that they might
be handed down, and relieve the suS-
pense, and predicting an advance In
case they were not, and no serious
break unless the opinions were espe-
cially drastic.
London aided the upward movement,
buying quite freely, and especially large
amounts of Union Pacific, Steel; and
Reading. One of the largest arbitrage
houses declared that stocks were being
shipped to London in large volume.
But the gains of the morning were
not confined to the leaders by any
means. Practically everything on the
list was on the move toward higher
figures, all rails sharing in the ad-
vance and the industrials holding
we'll
There still seems to be a lingering
hope in the minds of some of the
prominent railroad men that the In
terstate Commerce Commission will
yet give adherence to their demands
for Increased rates, indeed the word
the event of the necessity for ad-
vances being demonstrated, conces-
sions might be made.
The gains averaged about y to II
points, with Union Pacific Y, Read
Ing, st. Paul, Northern Pacific, Mop,
Chesapeake and Ohio, Atlantic Coast
Line, and Baltimore and Ohio of the
rails holding the best gains. Steel
rose 4, General Electric Is, Smelling
a point, and Copper %.
During the afternoon hours the mar
ket eased slightly from the high, but
there were no evidences Of weakness.

Limited TRADING

Gas Firmer.

Another day of limited trading but eX-
treme flrmness in prices characterized
Nhe meeting Of the local Exchange. In
pnds better business was transacted
Aan in stocks but in neither was there
any special activity. 1t was short ses-
sion, and almost featureless.
In the bond list sales were made OF
the Washington, Alexandria and Falls
Church 6s at 9515. Potomac Electric 6's
at 1858! and Potomac Consolidated 5s at
100. Gas 5s were steady at the old
price. 110.
In the stock list Washington Gas was
very strong and managed to reach and
hold a fractional advance, the first
time it has held over so for some time,
but at that it was by small margin
but so was bid. The stock is gradually
falling into strong boxes of big inves-
tors. At so it yields per cent on the
investment. Capital Traction slow but
firm at Us.
Railway and Electric common sold at
351k and the preferred at S715, but not
much of either.

stock sold, was at 40.

Thumped Congressman Hamer.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Congressman
Thomas r. Hamer of Idaho, stood off
three enraged secretaries in the house
of representative IS office building, Sat
urday night, and made his escape to
the street after a battle which threat
ened him with serious bodily harm.
Colonel Hamer was leaving his office
when he was jostled in the corridor by
the secretaries, and a protest from him
brought heated words and blows.
The secretaries were E. S. CLAWS,
brother of Louis R. CLAWS of the Bal
lingerPinchot case fame; James Mil
Ter, secretary of Representative Dick
inson of Mississippi and William Wal.
lace, secretary of Representative Bow
ers of Mississippi.
They threw him down the corridor,
cursing him and making violent threats.
just as he left the door his foot slipped
and he fell to one knee, and one of his
pursuers bounced upon him. The en-
counter was stopped by a policeman,
and a gathering crowd, which pulled
off one of the angry secretaries and
halted the other two.
cat this juncture some one handed
me my hat, and not desiring to be eth
er the victim or the hero of a fight /
hurried to the capitol" said Colonel
Hamer tonight
The Office building policeman, who
failed to come to the congressman IS
rescue early in the trouble, was "call-
ed on the carpet" today and probably
will lose his job. The arrest of the
three secretaries is expected.

GO 800 MILES IN BALLOON.
But st. Louis Aeronauts Fail to Better
the Record

But st. Louis Aeronauts Fail to Better
the Record.
The balloon Miss Sophia, which left
San Antonio, Texas, landed on farm
near Cover, Mo.
The balloon was in charge of j. E.
Assman and j. M. O'Reilly, ST. Louis
aeronauts, and they were tossed about
in a severe snowstorm for 10 hours
before landing. They travelled 500
miles. They were attempting to lift
the Lahm cup for long distance flight
Though several times during the trip
the balloon attained an altitude of 49,
900 feet the aeronauts suffered little
from the cold. When they ran into the
storm they were forced to throw off
ballast, and they worked in the snow in
their shirt sleeves, tossing the sand
bags overheard. In the binding storm
they could not tell in what direction
they were going, and for a time they
thought they were over Oklahoma.
They fancied they might be sailing
back toward Texas. Only the storm,
the aeronauts declared, caused them to
descend.

EXPORT GRAIN Is PUzzLER.
Growers and Shippers at War Over
Question of State Inspection.

Committees representing the farm
ers and growers on the one hand and
the grain buyers and exporters on the
other have met in Olympia in an eff
fort to get together on the proposed
grain inspection bill.
1t is reported all matters of differ
ence have been settled with one excep-
ton and that is inspection of grain for
export. This is favored by the growers
and opposed by the exporters. The
growers declare that for some time the
exporters have been shipping forty
fold wheat as bluestem, when actually
it does not possess the value of blue
stem, but that of club.
For many years the export market
for bluestem was or more cents
higher than that of club. The mis-
representation has hurt the export
market until now, it is claimed, real
bluestem brings but about cents
more than club, resulting in serious
loss to bluestem growers.
The exporters, or some of them, ad-
nit that they have practiced this mis-
representation, but insist that it is
their business, that having bought the
wheat from the growers on state test
and paid the price the matter of rep
reservations that are made to foreign
purchasers does not concern the orig
inal grower.
Announcement has been made posi-
lively by the railway commission,
which has charge of grain inspection,
that it intends to stop this misrepre-
sentation if it is possible to do so.

French Cabinet Tires of Opposition
From Radical Socialists.

signed on Monday.
The premier, for the first time in his
brilliant career as the controlling in
fiuence in the government of France,
found himself on shifting sands
The premier's friends describe him
as "sick of it; all worn out physically,
and weary in spirit over the chickering's
and petty distractions.
But beyond the matter of his per-
sonal inclinations there was the unques-
toned weakening of the premier IS
power and of confidence in his ministry.
The socialists have never forgiven
the premier for modifying the extreme
ecclesiastical views which he cham
pioned when he entered public life.
