FINANCIAL and COMMERCIAL,
ADVANCE CONTINUES.
Upward Movement Resumed in Face
Of Dubious Conditions.

New York, March 4-In the face Of
conditions and factors to which the
widest stretch Of imagination could
hardly attach the slightest degree Of
optimism, the stock market today re-
sumed the upward movement inaugu-
rated in the final days of the preced-
ing week. The financial district, or
that part Of Il which is mainly respon-
stble for daily operations on change,
chose to ignore the British coal strike
situation, even though the world at
large seems TO regard 1t as epoch max
ing, The speculative element was ap-
paTendy no more mindful Of the con-
ditiOns attending the same industry at
home, which come up for further dis
cussion tomorrow. It paid little or no
heed to the delay in the settlement Of
the labor troubles in New England. or
the fact that the western railroads
continue to suffer from the effects of
an unusually severe winter.
In fine the market seemed disposed
TO advance for not other reason than
it had declined to go down In the sew
oral weeks during which 1t suffered
from almost unprecedented stagna-
ton. As is generally the case under
similar technical conditions, the ex-
tent of the short interest remaining
at this time is altogether probleTnat-

There appears to be some question
as to the size Of the team which will
represent this country in the Swedish
Olympic championships in Stockholm
next summer. It is reported in some
quarters that team Of 100 will be
gent across. Germany announces that
it viii send 100 men to the games,

other expenses. It Is realized that
Germany is much nearer to Sweden,
and that the expense of its team will
not be as great as that Of the Ameri-
can team. 1t is the hope OF all lovers
OF athletics that the try-outs which
are TO be held in the various parts Of
the country will result in a big repre-
sentation Of the athletic strength of
the country being delegated to seek

Mercer Of Pennsylvania is not only
a good football player. but is so YER
satile along other lines that Mike
Murphy says he is the best all around
athlete ever developed at Pennsyl-
vania, not excepting Kraentzlin, who
holds the record for the hurdles and
the college broad jump. Besides be-
ing one of the best fulIbacks in the
country, Mercer can do more than %
feet in the broad jump, can go over
II feet in the pole vault, and can run
the 100 yard dash in close to ten sec
onds. Murphy says that if Mercer
performs anywhere near his standard
this year he will certainly be a mem
Der Of the Olympic team.
