UNCERTAIN TONE .
 ON STOCK MARKET Moderate Rally From Low Level
 in Final Hour.

New York, March 4, Wall Street, 10:30 a. m.-Unusual activity in United States Steel at substantial fractional advance was the prominent feature of today's initial trading. Other market leaders. notably Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Penn sylvania, showed some hesitation, but soon moved forward with the general list. Specialties also were consplc- uous in the rise, the motor shares adding to recent advances. The local market derived no encouragement from London, where all internatipI~> securities showed heaviness with severe declines in Reading, Fries and Union Pacific.
 Close-Supporting orders brought a moderate rally from the low level in the final hour. The closing was heavy.

ANT|-SUffRAC|STS
 HEARD AT HARTFORD
WtaTtrs of Red Rose Voice 0p-
 position to Suffrage BIl.

Hartford, March 4.-Wearers of the red rose, emblem of opposition to women having the right of the ballot had their opportunity this afternoon to tell a joint legislative committee that in their opinion the women of Connecticut do not wish to vote. Many of the suffragists who heard the af- flrmative arguments yesterday were also present. The opposition to sub- mission of an amendment to the peo- pie was in charge of Mrs. Daniel A. Markham of Hartford, president of the League Opposed to Votes for Women, and the speakers were Miss Elizabeth Bunnell vice-president Of the association, fifteen women repre- senting various parts of the state who told of petitions signed by women in their towns who did not want to vote, Charles Moore, representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Miss Margie Dormah of New York, William Palmer of Oxford, George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill and Miss Lucy J. Price of Cleveland.
 Attacks Suffragists' Position.
 Miss Price, who spoke for the anti suffragists two years ago, first al- tackled the position of the suffragists who yesterday declared that the mem- bers of the committee did not have to pass upon their own sentiments to- wards jWoman's suffrage or it's ex- pediency, but simply upon the ques- ton whether or not the amendment should be submitted to the voters. She said that such an attitude on the part of the committee would be wrong. Every member who voted to report favorably upon the resolution placing the amendment before the house for it's action would virtually be endorsing woman's suffrage. Miss Price devoted most of her speech to rebuttal of the arguments of the pro- pOnents of the question.
 Miss Dorman said ''Economy and efficiency has never been more neC- essary in state and federal govern ments than at the present time. In the business of governing ourselves just as in other business desire to obtain the bet possible reult for the least the best possible results for the least and money of our citizens. On this principle is based all success in pri- vate or public life. Woman's suffrage would violate the principle. It sets two persons to do a task which one can accomplish alone"

LOCAL STOCKS FIRM;
 REACTION IN HARTFORD
Kew Britain Shares Keep Prices Better Than Those Of Nearby City.
Furnished by Richter & Co)

The local market for the past week has been characterized by a healthy tone in the New Britain stocks, and somewhat of a reaction in the Hart ford Insurance and Mdnufa curing company stocks which have been showing activity for the last six weeks.
 In New Britain there has been a very good demand for Stanley Works Stoch winch IS quoted about three Pollts higher than two weeks ago. Recent sales have been at 55 and 551h we consider this stock a good pur- cnase at the present time, and one mat should show investor an increase Tn the market value as time goes on. The quotation of Am1rican Hardware IS somewhat lower than last week. hecent sales have been at 113 and 1l4' At. these prices there is a fairly good demand for the stock A little more activity has been shown in New '5rltaln Machine company and 58 is now freely bid for the stock, recent sales having taken place between that figure and 59. Union Manufac- turing company stock is quoted 60 bid, 62 asked.
 American Hosiery.
 Ontll this week there have been no sales or American Hosiery for some months ana stock is now quoted 1SO bld' 200 asked, there being little stock in the market at 200. We be- lleVe that this company has a iuuid- ating value of s175 per share. and that in buying stock at 200 an investor is only risking s25 per share with the possibility of his investment being worth S25 or $50 per share moro if the sales end of the business should De developed as is possible. Sales this week nave taken place at 200.
 Stanley Rule & Level is offered at 4oo, and Iraut & Hine at 50. New Britain Gas is quoted 56 bid 59 asked and National Spring Bed is offered at 3O.-
 Travellers Declines
 The feature of the Hartford mar ket mas been the decline in Travellers insurance company stock. This stock recently sold at $40 per share, and is no" oTIered at 62O, with sales rang Ing rom 6l8 to 620. In 1913 this stock sold a 653, and presumably be- cause or the liquidation of some of the Aetna Life Insurance company hololngs in the Travellers, it declined tc ooO. About three months ago the SHOCK started up again advancing from ooo to the high price two weeks ago or $40. Today the stock is selling lhlrty points below it's high price of 1913, and since then the business of the company has greatly increased If may De Of interest to note that every uecade since 1864 the assets of tbis company have more than doubled his IS also true of their total income he1r capital and surplus has doubled Tor the two decades since 1894. Aetna Life holds firm at 490 bid 500 asked The Colt market remains abOut tbe same at 276 bid, PTS asked. and there IS a good investment demand for the stock at these prices.
