The Weekly Review.

The following weekly reveiw Of the
New York stock market was received
Yesterday afternoon by W. B. Hibbs &
20 from their New York correspondent:
The fairly well liquidated position of
the general stock market together with
the great abundance of cheap money
throughout the country-$20 600 900 addi-
tional in gold arriving for instance today
from Canada-and the strong fundamental
conditions continue the bullish features
in the general situation in the discussion
Of the market as an Offset to the appre-
hension of war with Germany.
This accounts for the absence Of any
really important liquidation to have ap-
peared in the market during the past
week. There was a good deal Of bear
pressure early in the week partly from
the lack Of much new local or outside
buying and also the somewhat disauiet-
Ing reports from Russia. This, however
failed to bring out any responsive liqui-
dation- Since then recoveries have been
general from renewal OF bulIish activ-
ity in some OF the specialties and the
fresh advance in the railroad list
The latter have been materially sttmu-
lated Of late by the belief the request
for an advance OF Is per cent IN freight
rates will have to be granted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission not only
In response to public sentiment and the
pressure from President Wilson's admin
istration to make good his promise Of
helping the railroads after their compli-
ance with the demands OF the labor
unions but also from the exigencles of
the abnormally high prices for all rail-
road equipment and other costs of oper-
alton and upkeep.
Tho Southern and Western railroads OF
the country have now Joined with the
Eastern railroads in making this demand
for higher freight rates. 1t is scheduled
to come up for a hearing before the In
terstate Commerce Commission in a for
NAL way within the fortnight
THE markets are now simply marking
time. pending the Presidents announce
ment Of his recommendatio to Con-
gress on the war situation. 1t Is not
believed this will be made earlier than
Wednesday or Thursday. Whether he
will recommend merely the continuance
Of armed neutrality for defensive pur-
poses or that state OF war exists and re-
quests Congress for full authority to
meet the situation Is the big speculative
question which will determine the course
Of the market for the near future"

Due to Early Advances.

tBy the international News SerSieeD
New York, March 3o.-Weird rumors
of war-iike moves by Germany in Ameri-
can waters set Wall Street to selling
stocks again this afternoon. Won Holl-
weg's speech OF the previous day caused
an advance in the morning so that the
net changes were not important.
Recessions from the high, however
were sharp in several instances Rails
were laggards. except during brief per-
iod. when the ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on lake rates
was misunderstood. The close was
steady.
Food products ranged at high records
throughout the day. Hogs sold at the
