NEW YORK, March 20.-Specula.
tive interests, as represented by pow
erful bull pools, were in control of this
weeks very active and stronger stock
market. there being no visible signs of
more than moderate public participa-
ton.
Sentiment was favorably influenced
by the passing OF the taxpayment
period without strain to the money
market, further substantial recovery
OF British exchange and the belief that
congress may adopt liberal measures
bearing upon excess profits taxes.
This latter feeling was engendered
by the recommendations Of the secre-
tary Of the treasury and went far to-
wards dissipating the fear that laws
might be enacted to tax present and
prospective stock dividends.
The further rise of exchange on Lon
don was especially interesting and
significant in connection with the Feb
ruary trade report which revealed a
very large contraction of this coun-
try's overseas trade, the total being
the smallest since last October.
