LIVELY RALLY IN STOCK MARKET,
STEEL LEADING THE LIST.
GOOD GAINS MADE.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-With the
frst transactions the market appeared
rather spotty but with indications to
the close observer of moving to higher
levels. This theory was carried out in
the later transactions and a good bull
movement was under way in the first
hour. Steel attracting much attention

shares. while Union Pacific sold to the
extent of 1900 shares. Other spots here
and there throughout the list showed
fairly good activity. Mop came to the
front with a strength that surprised
its friends and enemies alike, the old
Gould leader actually leading the entire
list.
After the top prices were reached,
midway in the second hour the market
began to slow down in trading but not
in strength, although there were slight
recessiOns. The market was actually
devoid of news and as a result of the

BEGIN DREDGING DOCKS.
State Has Begun Work for Hamburg
American Line.


Everything is absolutely settled and
nothing stands in the way of the
Hamburg-American line steamers COM
ing to Boston, or the Grand Trunk
railway. The abrogation OF the lease
of the Commonwealth docks settled
the question OF the Grand Trunk, for
the only thing remaining for that rail
road TO secure was a terminal on the
waterfront.
The Directors Of the Port have
started actual work by awarding the
contract for dredging the berths OF
the Commonwealth pier to depth OF
forty feet and the approaches to thir-
ty feet to the G.. H. Breyman COM
pany, the lowest bidder, and on Mon
day the first work will start. Chair
man Hugh Bancroft is greatly over
joyed with the progress so far, in d.
rect contradistinction to his gloom or
last week, when the governors coun-
ell refused to act on the lease of the
docks.
Although refusing to be quoted. he
gave assurance that the obtaining OF
the Commonwealth docks by the Di-
rectors constituted the solving OF the
last problem facing those anxious to
bring the Grand Trunk railroad TO
Boston.

Tragedy at Alstead-Dead Beside

Funeral Of Col. Churchill
Charged With Larceny.

A good deal OF interest, as well as
curiosity, was caused In railroad and
other circles Saturday by the an
nouncement that the Boston a. Maine
railroad had withdrawn the petition
or the sullivan county railroad for an
extension OF that line from Cornish to
West Lebanon. The petition contemplate
ed the building OF double track road
between the two points which would
parallel the Central Vermont, which
is controlled by the Grand Trunk.
The petition was filed with the Su.
preme court in April, 1910, but later
turned over TO the public service com
mission, the court claiming lack of
jurisdiction. The extension was vio.
lently opposed by Winston Churchill
and other residents OF the summer
colony at Cornish on the ground that
it would seriously injure their prop
erty there. Several hearings have
been held during the present year,
but no decision has been reached, the
work OF the commission on the
freight rate cases demanding all their
time.

16 CONGRESSM EN-.
Massachusetts has Nine Republicans
and Seven Democrats.

Massachusetts will send congress
sional delegation to Washington COM
posed OF nine Republicans and seven
Democrats. The present delegation Of
IA is composed OF 10 Republicans and
four Democrats.
The Democratic tidal wave which
swept the state, together with the re-
arrangement Of the congressional dis
tricts brought about by the 1912 Leg
islatUre, was responsible for the in
creased Democratic representation.
The congressional redistricung bill
divided the state into 16 districts,
where there were formerly IA, and
the bill went through by the solid
votes of q minority of Republicans.
The Democrats lost one seat in the
elections, that of Congressman John
Alden Thayer in the 4th, but retained
the three Boston districts, defeated
Congressman Robert o. Harris in the
new 14th, and captured the 9TH, Sth,
and 10th districts.
