 IN STOCK MARKET
Qncreased Strength in Steeel. Hartman Issues in
 Fair Demand

New York. March s.-Prices hardened Pgain on the stock exchange today with an early show of activity. but later trading fell to small proportions fnd only part of the rise was held. {The local market derived some en- fouragement from London where Amer leans were in better demand than re- fently, closing with majority of net gains. Increased strength in United |Ptates Steel was again attended by Extensive dealings, which seemed 10 fepresent a further covering of short contracts. The same apparently was rue of Reading, in which much Of the fecent pressure was relaxed. The liar fman issues, United States Steel, Great Northern preferred and some other tandard railway shares were in falr emand. Amalgamated copper contin- ed its upward progress, although fall Ing back upon the publication of the February statement of the Copper Pro- ucers' association, which disclosed a mailer decrease in stocks than had cen expected. Other copper shares held heir ground and the various equip hent issues moved up in anticipation f railway needs. In the rail shares he market exhibited tendency for he backward movements. but move hents were not large.
 Developments of the day were state- bents of President Taft which were blended to offset remarks by Colonel roosevelt and which seemed to repre- ent a desire of the present admin tration to establish firmness where bat feeling was now lacking.
 Advices from Washington that the bngressional bodies intended to in- estigate the shelter trust were dis nctly strong. The report of the Amer an Smelling company, which Is soon
 issue, probably will make a better lowing than the previous one.
 Official figures from the department
 agriculture at Washington estimated le quantity of wheat on farms March at 122,000,000 bushels, a falling off
 about 40,000,000 compared with the |rresponding month last year and all ost as much under 1910. The amount
 corn in reserve, according to this port is less by over 2S0.000,000 busn- with very heavy decreases in oats d barley.
 The money movement in this city ring the week was reratively unsm- Artant with indications of a moderate sh loss. Opinions differ as to the tcome of loans, which are likely to crease by reason of stock market de- andS Advices now at hand show the were strain to which German finan- il institutions were put during last tumns crisis and which continues to
 rror itself in the incessant demands cash from Berlin. That center re-
 ted a more steady tone today With
 mess for our stocks.
 The sole feature of the local money
 rket was the higher rate demand-
 for short time maturities, 50 day
 ms being made at an advance of M
 cent.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, March S.--fSpecial) )-The weather in the south is still unsettled, but failed to influence the market, and for the moment prices are at standstill.
 The long interest has been good seller during the day, with the south taking a less gloomy view and the crop delay Is slightly dwelt upon.
 Liuquidation is proceeding. and new buyers are needed to sustain prices. Some pressure was evident upon October de- livery, in view of the wide difference.
 Cables were poor with no favorable strike news. The disposition here is to sell on advances and with the decreas- ing short interest il may be difficult to hold the market should Liverpool waver.
