BETTER WAR news
BUOYS UP MARKET
Most Stocks Offered Show Net
Gains on Days Trading.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, April 12.-Stocks were
strong today and nearly every issue
closed with a net gain as the result
OF what Wall Street interpreted as
better war news. The war news was
not decisive, but certain elements OF
it were cheering. The market acted
as though there might have been a
slumbering short interest. Disdllers
was the only stock to distinguish It.
self above the crowd. There was good
buying in the railroad equipment
shares. Cotton was heavy again, los
ing about a cent a pound.
Steel acted well and encouraged buy
ing of all equipment shares. The gov
ernment Is expected to place its or
ders for cars in the near future and
that will mean definite profits for
such companies as American Car and
Foundry, Pressed Steel Car. Railway
steel Springs and Steel Foundries.
Some of these companies are also
making much money out OF munitions.
Oil shares were quietly absorbed un-
der cover OF a rumor Of trouble in
Mexico. There is no danger OF any
serious trouble in Mexico for all the
allied governments are fully awake
to the importance Of keeping that
source OF supply protected.
