NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Jan. 15.-Stocks of all class
|es rose vigorously today. Speculation
fwas more active and the market was
broader. Sentiment was decidedly bull
&sh and buying was conducted with a de-
tgree OF confidence which has not charac-
terized trading recently, Speculation for
khe rise was facilitated by the increased
volume of outside buying. Steady alb
no speculative following gave an indiea-
kton of the quickened investment demand.
fhis same tendency was visible in the
bond market, in which dealings expanded
Rnd prices rose.
'Today's movement was a continuation
|bf the rise which began late yesterday on
the receipt from Washington of unoffi-
Eelal outlines of the probable character

khe Presidents forthcoming message to
Congress on that subject, II being felt
Iy1at less drastic position would be
taken by the administration than the
bears had predicted. Easy money rates,

Investment demand and a more hopeful
view of the outlook for business We're
tother influences which contributed to
the days movement.
Steel led the market Trading in this
stock was unusually active and ii rose
nearly two points. Erie and Can also
figured largely in the dealings. Union
Pacific and Reading were inclined to lag
behind to the remainder of the ist, ow-
lng to persistent profit taking, but most
kctive shares rose one to two points
Among the secondary stocks gains were
larger.
London came into this market for
stocks Purchases for foreign account
consisting chiefly of steel. Erie and. Ca

fpealings in bonds increased largely. A
humber of issues which usually are DOR
knant were dealt in at substantial ad-

of a point. Total sales,

Appropriation for Con-.
Meeting Links Along Way.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Governor Mil
Ter of Delaware. Mayor James w.
Preston of Baltimore, Mayor Frederick
Donnelly of Trenton, Representative j.
Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania and
others testified today before the House
rivers and harbors committee advo-
eating a coastal canal from Boston to
Beaufort, N. c. They asked that the
government appropriate for links to
connect existing waterways.
Governor Miller said Congress should
act at once, but If it delayed, the peo-
pie of the Eastern states would con-
tinue to work until the object sought
was accomplished.
Mayor Preston expressed the view
that the proposed federal purchase Of
the Chesapeake and Delaware canal
would provide a project equal in val
ue, from the standpoint of his sec
ton, to the Panama canal.
Mayor Donnelly urged the import
anco of the canal from the standpoint
of New Jersey, saying it would short
en- the distance and benefit the pub
lie in freight and passenger business.
General Felix Agnus of Baltimore
told the committee that when he was
a member of a committee appointed by
President Roosevelt to investigate the
canal project, that body had been as
sured in conference that the initial
purchase cost of the Chesapeake and
Delaware canal would not exceed ST.
500, 900. He declared that the British
never would have invaded Washington
had the canal been built at that time,

POLO CHALlENGERS WILL
ARRIVE HERE ON MAY 8.

New York, Jan. 15.-Ten English polo
players, four of whom will be selected
to play in the games of the international
match for the Westchester cup at Mead
owbrook in June, will arrive here on May
s. Two weeks later the English polo po-
MES, 81 in number, will arrive here.
The cup challengers will come direct
from Spain, where they will take part
in the early spring practice games. They
will have only month to practice. as
the first game is scheduled TO take place
on June 8. Last year the English polo
lists arrived six weeks before the games
started. They claim that they began to
stale off, in their physical condition
just before the games commenced. Iii
order to prevent a similar occurrence this
spring the players decided to practice for
only month in this country prior to the
opening of the games,
Last year the ponies arrived a month
before the games took place. Now it is
proposed to have them reach these
shores about 10 days before the games
begin. The trainers of the ponies believe
that the ponies will show to better ad.
vantage under this schedule than If they
were allowed to arrive here a month
ahead of time. Ten days will just per-
init them to recover from the effects of
the sea voyage and put them on edge
for the big matches.

es in the rules providing for a Senior
and Junior class in all championship
swimming events staged under the
auspices of the Amateur Athletic Uni
on, have been sent to the board of
