NEW YORK STOCKS
Upward Movement Continues
on Broader and More I'm
pressive Scale.
GAINS MADE BY SHIPPING

New York, March 6.-The upward move
ment of stock market prices which began
with the expiration of congress continued
today on broader and more impressive
scale. Technical conditions. especially the
drastic liquidation OF recent months. and
an attenuated bear position, conduced
measurably to the further improvement In
which rails almost alone failed to share.
More substantial gains were made by
shippings. munition and a wide variety Of
equipment, as well as specialtles which
must inevitably benefit by prevailing con-
ditiOns at home and abroad. Coppers made
further upward progress on reports that
orders for the metal have been placed In
to the final quarter of the year.
All the steamships issues responded to
Washington advices forecasting the inten-
ton Of the government to carry out the
policy Of armed neutrality. Atlantic. Gulf
and West indies made an exterme gain of
to 105. with Az for Marine preferred at
TN and ~ to Al for Marine common,
United Fruit and Pacific Mail. -
United States Steel was again the central
feature OF the Industrial group rising IN
TO lll&. Steel tonnage figures for Feb
ruary to be Issued next Saturday are ex-
pected to approach high records of the
months immediate preceding. Bethlehem
Steel added to recent recoyeries, the old
stock advancing 7 to 147 with to az for
the new issue and subscription rights.
Other noteworthy movements included
Central Leather, Lackawanna Steel, Pressed
Steel car. Great Northern Ore, Motors and
papers at advanced of 2 to I points, Cuban
American sugar rising to 1863.
Pressure against Lehigh Valley on re-
ports affecting the stability of the dividend
reacted upon other rails. including Pacifics,
despite favorable decision Of the Inter
state Commerce commission on proposed
rates east Of Minnesota.
Profit taking caused irregular recessions
from highest levels in the final dealings,
but tho closing was strong. Total sales
$50. 900 shares.
Movements In exchange were irregular,
rubles and Tires making some recovery with
slight concessions In sterling and marks.
Bonds were steady and without feature In
the international group. Total sales, par

from the Vinton barn, where he work
ed, will attend the funeral in body.

seized by fainting spell in the bath
room and, in falling, his body
snapped the tube from the gas jet
to the heater, releasing flow of gas
which asphyxiated him.
