STOCKS BUOYANT
IN BIG MARKET
The Exciting Forward Move-
ment Assumed Wider and More
Impressive Proportions

New York. March 1S.-1here was
another broad and buoyant stock mar
ket today. with numerous exciting and
violent price movements. The forward
swing from the very outset assumed
wider and more impressive proportions.
and almost every class of stocks par
ticipated some time during the session
in the big buying movement. The great
est strength was again shown by shares
of companies which are expected to
declare stock dividends in the near
future. including the leading motors.
Steels. railway equipment. feathers. tex
tiles and chemicals. The speculative
enthusiasm was not confined to these
particu shares: on the contrary. it
reached out to nearly all parts Of the
list. embracing the railroad shares and
number of usually obscure issues.
The rapid pace set at the opening
with initial advances of . to s points
was well maintained throughout the
forenoon. extensive short covering add
ing to the enormous turnover. The bear
crowd apparently were completely stun
ned by the sudden reversal of the mar
kcl yesterday anu made frantic efforts
to reduce their extensive short lines.
but buying orders were in practically
all the important groups from the
strongest speculative interests on the
street aud this accumulation practically
exhausted the supply. giving the shorts
little opportunity to cover.
II was among the closely held pool
issues the bear crowd suffered the Sc.
verest punishment This was strikingly
illustrated in the sensational advance Of
'Sh points in Stutz Motors on tho ton
"f yesterdays gain of 1Ila points. Other
noteworthy features included General
Motors. Pierce Arrow. Motor Access,
'orics. American WOODEN. American
Can. New York Air Brake. Republic,
Crucihlc. Nanadium and L. S. Strels.
Atlantic Gulf and West indies. United
Fruit. Central Leather. Texas Co. and
Utah Copper at gains of 81, to 10
noints. Baldwin Locomotive in the
opening bulge advanced to 1874, but
'ost all the gain. \ renewal rate Of I

stimulus to broad buying movement.

TONE Of LOCAL
MARKET STRONGER
Very Active Trading in Lake Su-
perior on Announcement OF
Bondholders' Agreement

Lake Superior Corporation continued
the leading attraction Of the local mar, o
ket, making further advance 70 -
on the official announcement OF the
terms of the agreement made with the
English railway bondholders. Brieny.
the terms, subjectsto the ratification OF
the bondholders, reduce the guaranteed
obligations of the Lake Superior Cor.
poration from S15 ,0S0. 900 to SO, ,W3 .OOO
in principal and from 1854 900 to $780,
16O in annual interest. The trading
in the stock was quite active, represent,
ing more than 30 per cent of the total
transactions. The, higher price was
made shortly after the opening, and
with the publication of the terms OF
the agreement there was considerable
profit taking, which caused fractional
Shading in the price.
American Stores was the next note
worthy feature by reason of the decla-
ration of the initial dividend OF 1 per
cent yesterday by the directors, placing
the stock on per cent per annum
dividend basis. This. was in line with
T. q information given recently by inter-
eg rs known to be in close tou IL with

of the year, yielded to 1875 on small

While these two issues commanded
the foremost attention, the general list
displayed much better tone and prices
were firmer all along the line, and in
most cases fractionally higher, the
market. as a whole. benefiting to some
extent by the buoyancy of the New York
market, and the intimations given by the
leading banking interests Of the posi-
bility of easier money market condi-
tions within the next two weeks. United
Gas Improvement was notably firm, ad-
vancing to 49&, in response to the re-
sumption Of dividends by the Public

SOLDIERS BONUS BILL As 4
FACTOR ~ THE CAMPAIGN

When the Vermont department Of
the American Legion met in Mont
pelier recently an issue arose which
was destined to stir the WHOLE country
and the American Congress as had no
other question Of "A domestic military
and financial nature for years. The
question was whether Congress should
be asked to pass what has come to be
known as The Soldier Bonus bill. The
leaders Of the forces FOR and agains'
were respectively Major H. Nelson
jackson, Of Burlington, and President
John NJ. Thomas, Of Middlebury. The
advocates Of the bonus won by large
majority,
The sequel TO the struggle which the
Vernon Legion thus helped TO start
was told in the telegraphic columns e
the Free Press yesterday. The bill
passed the House Of Representatives
by a vote Of 2S9 to %, and It now
faces the Senate, whore il has been
referred 10 committee There oppon-
ents say il is doomed TO sleep at least
until after the national conventions
have done their worst or best, and tie

way.
The bill cortemplates the raising Of
the enormous sum Of 1000, 100000. or
nearly half Of the entire national debt
at the close Of the Civil War, which
was Salts. 100000
The new taxes and increases in ex-
listing taxes designed to raise the addi-
tional revenue required to meet the
heavy expenditures on account Of the
bonus payments include an excise tax

who favored bonus. The Democrats
discovered too late that they had help
ed forge a weapon which the Repub-
licans could use to good advantage in
the campaign, as the responsible ma
jority in Congress, but they had gone
so far in forcing the issue they could
not turn back. Hence the majority of
both parties helped pass the bonus bill.
One of the most powerful argu-
ments against the bonus bill was that
of Secretary Houston Of the treasury.
He said the proposal to expend be-
tween one and two billions of dollars
is a very serious one for the Ameri-
can people at this time when credits
are so disturbed. He did not know
how we could float bonds for $1,000
900 900. II we floated them at high
rate OF interest, il would ruin many
poor people who would be obliged to
sell Liberty and Victory bonds at
great loss. He thought the least
harmful way would be taxation.
Advocates Of the pending bonus
measure said the country owes an OBJ
legation 10 the men and women who
served in the World War. TO relieve
financial distress Of men, many Of
whom lost profitable positions. or pro-
fessional income That is always an
irresistible appeal. even though Re
pubIics have been called ungrateful.
