The stock market turned strong

Big 1881 Trade Gain
ReDOrted With China

Eastern Asia is the one section
of the world where our vol
ume of export trade has gained
ground rather than lost during
the depression, declares the Ma
tional Foreign Trade Council in
announcing the plans today for
it's convention in Honolulu on
May 4, 5 and 6 next. The vol
ume of our exports to Japan,
China and India, the council
points out, is more than 6 per
cent greater for 1881 than for
1890.
The outstanding case of our
increased trade in the Orient is
that with China, where we sold
products worth $98,00O,000 last
year, compared with sales of $780,
100000 the year before, the only
important gain made during 1881
in our export commerce, which
raises China from tenth to sew
enth position among the purchas-
erS of American products.

Tough Hurdle for Market

By WALL ST REET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, March 7 QN.S0 .
The market enters a new week
after having given an excellent
technical performance on Satur-
day. The fact that industrial
averages closed at a new high
for the year indicates higher
prices today.
Any advance from here, how
ever, undoubtedly will be used
for further profit-taking by those
who got in lower down, so watch
your step.
High Hurdle Ahead
From a chart angle, the mar
ket will run into a real hurdle
at the 1896 level, and it is very
doubtful if it will be able to go
through unless an extraordinary
piece of news breaks.
Strength in Union Carbide is
due to strong pool work with
the assent of the banking Spon-
sors, it is understood. A short
interest helped along. Saturdays

are expecting to confer tonight

their program of opposition to

They are expected to oppose
the section in the bill which pro-
hibits Saturday half-holidays,
Elimination of the holiday would
result in an additional 100000
hours of working time and dis
charge of many employees.
The opponents will also draft .
substitute pay cut bill, so that if
all methods to defeat the general
proposition are futile, they will
attempt to raise the exemption
of $1,000, as now provided, to an
exemption of $4,000 or $4,000.

that the work of all departments
