New York, March 9.-The i'm
petus to speculation supplied by the
supreme courts decision on stock
dividends carried over into today's
dealings, causing some rapid ad-
vances during the morning hours,
In fact, business in stocks through
out the day reflected cheerful senti-
ment which was none the less dis
cernible because profit-taking sales
made heavy inroads into quotations
before the close.
Crucible Steel. the most prominent
stock in the light Of the courts ruling,
rose 13 points, only to lose all the gain In
late dealings. General Motors, which sup
piled sensation in Mondays operations.
surged forward 90 points before noon. but
retained no more than II points Of the
upturn at the close.
OIL shares Strong.
The oil shares showed fairly consistent
strength at all times and those industrial |
groups which sagged seemed to be af-
fected more by the natural reflex Of the
preceding sessions forward swing than by
altered opinion over the market situa-
tion. A market largely In he.-hands OF
seasoned spectators. as the stock mar
ket has been for more than month, Is
one In which caution in respect. to profits
prevails. Credit conditions being Is they
are, the trader is moved to convert profit
on paper into cash without risking an un-
expected unsettlement Of quotations.
Call money again lent at to 7 per cent.
Fixed period money continued high and
hard to get.

New York Coffee,

New York, March 9-The market Tor
coffee futures was comparatively quiet to-
day and correspondingly sensitive to small
II points higher and active months sold
Is to 2S points above last nights closing
figures during the middle of the day.
This was attributed to covering after the
been little trade buying or scattering
support on the early firmness Of the stock
market. The advaace to 1905 for May
was checked by renewed realizing, how
ever. and that position sold off to 14S5
in the later trading on reports that cost
and freight offers were shade easier.
The close was at the lowest point OF the
day, net one point higher to points

the occupants. A stock company could
be formed and the shares sold in the
open market. AS it is now we all pay
tremendous rent, and instead of paying
this high rent to the landlords we could
pay for the building and at the same
time sell our commodities at less than
10 per cent profit, which. you will agree
with me. should bring the cost of living
downward"
Mr.. Scalco points out in his letter
that at times overestimation of the
amount to be sold causes too much
fruit to be taken from storage, with the
result that it spoils. Waste could be
avoided. he declared, if only samples
were taken from storage and the entire
shipment removed on sale.
Others Favor the Plan.
He concludes with the following
statement
Judging from conversations with the
diHerent commission merchants in this
CITY, feel safe in saying that 80 per
cent OF them would be glad to take such
step, and it certainly would be a life
saver for the people of Washington.
me reason no one has attempted this
before is because some of them own
their own buildings. and if the market
was to move their property would de-
preCiate in value
