Days TRADING CENTERS
UPON RAILWAY SHARES
Speculative Interests Drop the In
dustrials for Rail
Favorites.
Continued Steel Heaviness and Prof
it-Taking Check Advances, But
Undertone Is Firm.

NEW YORK. March 20. 1880 AM
Prices again moved upward in the
early stages of today's market the ac-
tiyity centering mainly around the
railway shares. in which further gains
OF to points were made
Atchison was distinct feature, its
excellent statement Of earnings for
February contributing to it's advance.
Other issues Of strength included the
pacifics, Baltimore and Ohio. Louisville
and Nashville, Reading and New Ha-
ven.
American Smelling. which opened
with some heaviness. soon reversed It's
position. showing substantial gain.
Bethlehem Steel Strong.
Bethlehem steel was strong. but
United States Steel was relatively
heavy.
Gains were largely cancelled before
noon mainly as a result OF recurrent
profit-taking and the continued heaV'-
pess Of steel. which was freely offered
by brokers with out-of-toWn conhec-
tions.
There were indications that impor-
fant speculative interests were aban-
doning the industrial shares for the
better known railway issues.
Rails Show Improvement.
The market position of the latter
group has materially improved recently
by reason of the better returns sub
mitted by some Of the leading roads
Among the specialties California Pc
troleum common and preferred were
especiaIly weak. Gables from London
conveyed fresh intimations OF peace
negotiations.
Bonds were firm.

No Offer From National Guard.

The National Guard of the District of
Columbia, which made overtures to the
custodian for possession of the proper
ty, has not yet made a definite offer.
While at first supposed that the militia
contemplated taking over the property
as a general armory, in place of its
present quarters the suggestion was
also presented that it might bring to-
gether units of the command located
in separate buildings. In this event
the structure would not be used as a
general armory.
The lease which the custodian would
sign would cover no longer period than
one months time. running until notice
to vacate. But there is no legisla ton
passed and none pending for the dis
position of the property. It's status
would remain as now until some later
Congress saw fit to make disposition
of it. The lease to a desirable tenant
might run for years.
Occupancy by the militia would per-
hapS make the most desirable tenancy
from the government point of view
Some alterations would have to be
made to the building, although part OF
it was formerly used for armory pur-
poses. Changes in tenancy and the use
of the property for hotel purposes have
made interior alterations, which would
necessitate a restoration of the earlier
interior conditions or their elaboration
to meet the particular needs of the
militia occupants. This expense would
have to be borne by the tenant, as the
government has no funds available for
such extensive changes.
