Standardization ExenS Little Effect
UNDERGONE OF NEW YORK MARKET
SURPRISES BEAR INTEREST.
NET CHANGES SMALL.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The strength
shown in the market Is a distinct dis
appointment to the bear interest. The
lntter had expected that the unfavor-
able news and the political complca-
lions through which few can discern
the blue atmosphere beyond would give
them the best of the situation and en-
able them to turn handsome profits.
The continuation of the coal strike, with
its possible paralyzation of industry in
the English isles, and perhaps spread
to further disaster, were all counted
on by the bears to knock the bottom out
OF a market tender IN appearance and
disturbed by long fear of the Sherman
law.
But the Street just now believes that
the liquidation In everything but Labor
has about run its course. 1t is not as
sure as 1t once was that labor can be
liquidatcd, but 1t believes that things
are going to get better instead of worse,
and is not paying much attention to
mfavorabled developments.
While the market did but little better
than hold its own, II showed resisting
capabilities that were encouraging to
