FINANCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK, March 2.-Quotations on the stock exchange this week were largely stabilized by the favor able trend of domestic events, even though conditions abroad occasioned misgivings.
 Progress of the railway control and war finance bills was factor of sentimental value, but the selling of the final session probably bore some relations to the forthcoming Lib- erty loan.
 The mixed state of affairs in the field of industry was expressed by more liberal dividend disbursements in some quarters and reduced divi- dends elsewhere, among coppers for example.
 Transportation conditions were confusing, the very poor showing of the Pennsylvania system for Jan uary and further postponement of action on the St. Paul dividends leaving traders in a state of be- wilderment.
 Domestic monetary conditions show no signs of relaxation, nor is greater ease expected until the next Liberty campaign comes to a head.
 The one outstanding feature of the | dull foreign exchange market was l the sharp slump in Italian exchange which fell to a discount of almost AZ per cent Sterling and francs were firm.
