STOCK MARKET WAS STRONG YESTERDAY In Spite of Conditions the
 Prices Held Firm 2
 NO SELLING PRESSURE Annual Reports of Independent Steel Companies Show the Largest 'e- Gain in Earnings in
 History
NO SELLING PRESSURE

New York, March 6.-The stock market was strong today in spite of the fact that virtually the same conditions existed as those which brought about recessions on previous days. Although stocks were de- pressed last week on expectations of the call for the extra session of Congress, ttere was almost no selling pressure to- day. The fact that there was a possi- bility of decisions by the United States supreme court affecting the status of some of the largest corporations did not 2, disturub the market.a as on previous Mon days.
 When it became apparent that the sell ing movement of last week was not to be continued there was some covering of short contracts which, with a. renewal of bullish tactics put up prices of most of the standard stocks a point or more in the morning. Thereafter the market was dull and the close was generally below the top level The day was one of the dullest in several weeks.
 The annual reports of two independent steel companies-Cambria and Bethlehem showed that, in spite of unfavorable trade conditions in the late part of 1910, they had made the largest gain in the earnings in history, with a surplus, after rayment of fixed charges and liberal appropriation for depreciation of about II ger cent on the preferred stock.
 The Cambria's net earnings increased to S4945,oo0 New orders of the United States Steel corporation for February i were reported as being tho largest of any month since early last year. Further ev- ! idence of the trend of conditions in the steel and iron trade was the increase 2 reported from Pittsburg of s1 ton in the ] price of wire products.
 The determination of the interstate com ! merce commission to adhere strictly to s It's rulings in 4the freight rate cases was t shown in it's refusal to permit the rail- E roads to postpone withdrawal of their ad- vanced tariffs instead of cancellng them forthwith The days developments gave TO indications of any betterment in the t position of the roads. r The Great Northern reported a decrease of $610,O00 in its net earnings for Jan uary and the Wabash a lesser shrinkage. Advices from Chicago were that traffic on the western roads was irregular, ow- ing largely to the hesitancy of manufac- turing interests. Shipments of dry goods have fallen off. according to the report of a large Chicago distributing agency, although orders for fall deliveries are more than double received in those of the corresponding pericd' of last year. No changes were reported in time money, and bre' fs stated that the market was duller
 l on any previous day for several
 Jnths.
 The feature of the bond market was a Spectacular rise of IS points in Virginia refunding 6's to 671a on the news that the United States supreme court had decided .,,this controversy of long, standingsiT Later the bonds sold off to 591a. Otherwise the bond market was steady

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, March 6.-Cotton futures opened steady, 1 point up to ? down compared with Saturdays close. Cables were about as expected so far as Liver pool futures were concerned, but private messages from across the water regaro- ing trade on the continent were extreme ly pessimistic and caused considerable short selling. Bulls offered the market no support and first prices were the highest in the early trading, the market standing to 10 points under Saturday s last quotations at the end of the first half hour of business. The weather map indicated dry weather in the west over Sunday and the forecast promised oontin- ued dry weather, but this gaye the new crops no strength. @
 The entire morning session was dull with neither side attempting operations

RAGING IS DEAD
 IN CALIFORNIA
Came to An End Yesterday When tlie New Anti-Gambling Law Went
 Into Effect.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 16.-Rac- ing in California came to an end yes terday when the new anti-gambling law went into effect. It is expected that one of the largest crowds that ever saw racing here will be in att tendance to get what many think will be final glimpse of the sport.
 It is said in some Quarters that there will be a meeting at Oakland next fall. Racing men have been ad- vised, 1t is said, that the new gamb- ling law is unconstitutional. A test case, so the plan goes, will be tried as soon as the legislature adjourns to prove that the new law will not stand President Williams of the California Jockey Club, it is asserted, does not want to risk a test now for fear that in case of victory the legislature will pass new law in which no flaws could be picked.

"THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER,

At the Elks theater Monday night, February 29th, comes ''The Choco- late Soldier" whose suave waltz and delightful mazurkas have long been with us. The play came into New York a year ago under the direction of Fred Whitney quite unheralded, and captured the metropolis. The run was so long that the attraction comes here in its second session. It is described as a typical Viennese op- era bouffe. The scenes are laid in the picturesque Dragoman Pass of Bulgaria, and Mr. Whitney has car ried all of the costumes, embroideries and uniforms directly from that vicin- ity There is an orchestra of fifty pieces.
