March 12-

During the first hour of today's ses-
sion there was a resumption of nquida-
ton, but 1t was not as general as yes
terday. Pressure was conferred on
comparatively small number of stocks.
New lows were established in a few
active issues, but before the session was
half over fairly good demand for stocks
developed, and while the buying IN
doubtedly was largely in the nature Of
short covering. nevertheless it served the
purpose Of giving the market an air of
greater stability.
But so far as we are able to ascertain
there is really no change in market SEN
timent.
The present state Of the public mind
is well expressed by a leading CONNER
c1al agency in its weekly review. in the
statement that optimism is less marked
than when conditions were less favor
able"
Much of the present unrest may be at
trtbuted to the uncertainty created by
wage cuts, and the effort of the railroads
to bring their expenditures within rea-
sonable bounds. That they viii have
much difficulty in this Is clearly shown
by the fact that the Erie was obliged to
rescind the order of reductions because
of the legal complications involved.
Until a good many of the present prob
lens are solved it probably will be diff
cult to bring about any important change
in the market, and it is likely that we
may still have another period OF Hqui-
dation.

Of Search Dirigible Gil Cen.
tinues Search for Crew,

Pensacola, Fla, March z8.-
Naval authorities here today en-
tered on the fifth day of their
search for some trace Of the naval
balloon which has been missing
since last Tuesday, while it took the
air here with five passengers. Al
though still holding to the belief
that the five men have been picked
up by some fishing vessel, omcials
planned to continue the search un-
remittingly.
Arranging to send the dirigible
CT out for a thorough hunt today
over Day and Holmes counties,
naval officers were working on the
theory that the balloon might have
carried far enough to reach land
there before descending, if the men
had unlocked the basket and climb
ed into the rigging. A steady
shoreward wind, they declare,
would have carried the bag clear
OF the gulf in that direction il the
weight had been thus reduced.
