Strength After Slump.
By BRoAnAN WALL.

New York. March 13.-The reac-
tion In the stock market which
started yesterday owing to realiz-
ing sales and short selling con-
tinued early today and resulted in
heaviness for time. but the steadi-
ness with which stocks were absorb
ed made itself felt in the afternoon
when the general list once more re-
sumed its upward trend. The close
was firm and followers OF the tape
voiced the opinion that the advance
would probably be renewed tomor-
row.
Brokerage houses were well at
tended and the total amount OF
stock that went over the floor OF
the exchange for the fourth time
exceeded the 100000 mark. Re-
ports are frequently heard that the
public is coming into the stock mar
ket In increasingly large numbers
Leadership of the market was
furnished by the specialties, several
new high prices for this movement
being recorded. The rails as spec
ulations are in general being
neglected owing to a belief by the
street that these securities should
be judged as investments because
of the contracts made by the gov
ernment with the transportation
systems.
The belief is growing that the
present dealings in stocks constitute
a peace market" in which the pub
lie will probably participate to very
little extent until stocks are much
higher.
United States Industrial Alcohol
furnished a sensation by advancing
fourteen points to a new high
record for this movement of 142.
Among the equipment shares rail-
way steel springs was a feature and
closed with a net gain OF more thar
four points. The equipment shares
were strong because of the confer
/ ence of equipment manufacturer
and Director General Hines.
