BY THEODORE KoSLOW

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 QN.SJ.
The stock market found the 60
ing on the upside decidedly to
its liking in a continuation of
quiet trading activity today, and
leading stocks we're able to chalk
up fairly good-Sized price gains
without undue difficulty.
Rail Stocks Gain
The better tone of the carriers
was a potent factor, making fer
more cheerfulness in constructive
quarters. The rails have served
to point the trend of prices for
the entire market for so long a
time that the present firmness in
this group, If maintained over a
period of a few days, could
readily set the stage for the in
auguration of aggressive bulliSh
activities over broad front.
Leading ground-gainers in the
rails included Baltimore and Ohio
UP 2 at so, Atchison up 2A at
1854, New York Central up 2
at 7512, Union Pacific up 2 at
lis, and Southern Pacific up
at 78.
Chemical Spurts
Among the pivotal favorites, AL.
lied Chemical was an outstanding
feature, with run-up of 33s
points to 1903. U. S. Steel
moved up 1A to STA, American
Can gained 11s at 1894, Cast ad-
vanced IA to 56A, and Westing.
house completed its end with a
rally of 13s points to 81.
Auburn was the paceSetter in
the motors with an upturn of 31a
points at 1481a. Chrysler and
General Motors were somewhat
sluggish and able to improve their
position but nominally.

TURN FOR STEEL
STOCKS SEEN
DISTANT
Prospects of Improvement
Soon in Earnings Believed
to Be Dim, Says Spectator
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK. Aug. 3 UN.SD. -
The prominence given recent div
idend reductions of the United
States and Bethlehem Steel cor
porations has centered financial
interest upon the current state of
the steel industry
Out of 10 leading steel com.
panies which have reported re.
suits for the first half of the
year, only two were able to earn
their dividends. Three covered
fixed charges, depreciation and
taxes, but fell short of dividend
requirements, while the other five
reported deficits.
Outlook UnfavOrabIe
The outlook for the remainder
of the year is even more un.
satisfactory. Standard Statistics
estimates the takings of steel for
the full year 1881 will be close to
30 per cent under those of 1890.
while production will probably
represent the smallest total since
1921.
However. statistical observers
point out that in the sequence IN
which depression spreads from in
dustry to industry. steel is usually
among the last to participate 1t
is also slow in picking up.
In the ordinary course of events.
by the time the steel industry is
heavily depressed. other industries
are already on the mend. There
fore, the present condition of the
steel industry is susceptible Of
bullish Interpretation for the
longer term.
As regards the position of Sc.
curitieS in this group, the outlook
over the near term Is not particu.
larly bright.
Bottom Still Coming
Standard Statistics is of the
opinion that, despite the compare.
lively severe decline in steel stocks
it is unlikely that even current
quotations fully discount the de-
pressed profits outlook for the
trade.
Furthermore. since the initial
stages of improvement in general
business will be concentrated
largely in direct consumer lines.
it is not logical to expect that
steel shares will participate as
actively in near-term market
rallies as issues in the more favor
ably situated groups.

CLOTH BUSINESS LIGHT

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 GN.SD.-~
Only a light business was done In
today's coarse yarn gray goods
market. Print cloths were NOM
inally unchanged in dull
market. Here and there light
trading developed, and some fair
sales of 36-inch goods were men,
toned, but outside of this the
trade was featureless. There were
small orders for sheetings, filled
at the same prices prevailing at
the end of last week. Drills were
quiet and reported unchanged.
Some interest was reported in

worthy volume.

ALPINE -Y0NKERS
 REOPENS MARCH 1
Will Resume Service on the Hudson River Next Sun=
 day Morning
THE USUAL SCHEDULE

The A,pine-Y onkers Ferry which operates cp the Hudson river be- tween Yonkers, New York and AL pine, New Jersey, will resume ser- vice on Sunday, March 1st, 1881, on the usual 15 minute schedule froE1 6:00 a. n. to midnight.
 This unusually early opening date is a precedent stablished last year and is due to the fact that the river is practically free of ice and open to navigation. The roads and ap- proaches cn both sides of the river are in excellent shape.
 It is one convenient way across the Hudson river to the Jersey side or to New England, without wading through the maze of New York city's traffic. It has always been a popular feature of the Alpine Yonkers Ferry service, that in cross ing there has not been any delay nor congestion and this condition pre- vails because the boats have large capacities, each able to carry more than forty cars.
