New York Stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, March 7-STOCKS
The session on the stock market today
was barren of development of the shares
fluctuating within the narrowest limits
One of the causes advanced for the dull
| tons, evidenced in the proposed pro-
ceeding against the Standard Oil COM
pany. Reading relative heaviness was
noteworthy but probably represented bear
operations in mild form.
OF the obscure stocks decline of
points in National Railway of Mexico sec
feature. Liggett and Myers gave way 4
points, while American Tobacco, Ameri-
can Snuff, American Mailing preferred,
United States Rubber, Allis-Chalmers pre-
points.
Bonds were steady.
On moderate dealings today's stock mar
ket opened with general declines. Read
ing and United States Steel were the
weakest of the active issues, declining IL
and g respectively. The Hartman stocks.
ST. Paul, Northern Pacific, Erie and
Pennsylvania, all recorded nominal
losses and there were gains of note.
Pressure relaxed and the market re-
bounded easily when the bears stopped
selling. Special strength in a few issues
assisted the rally, but the rise halted af-
ter prices had been restored to yesterday
final level. Erie was bought freely and
touched "a on a reiteration of recent ru-
mors of buying in the interest of other
roads.
Pronounced improvement was made by
the market during the noon hour when
United States Steel again became the most
active stock, gaining 1ss. Large advances
also occurred in Union Pacific, Great
Northern preferred and American Smelt-
ing. Chesapeake and Ohio rose 1ss and
Central Leather preferred over 2 points.
The changes was attributed to more
cheerful advices from London respecting
the coal strike.
Trading broadened the substantial move
ment in the standard stock bringing to
life any of the less active shares, expec-
tation of favorable statement tomorrow
by the Copper Producers association
stimulated buying of the Copper group
on the curb Standard Oil jumped again
TO $3.50. another record figure, and the
various subsidiaries were also strong.
