But if the market now holds
close to Tuesday levels, with vol.
ume not falling off, we may con.
clude that accumulation has been
going on. Then if the averages
work up two or three points above
Tuesdays close, it will be sufficient
to indicate that the top of a trad.
ing triangle" has been broken,
and a real rise begun.
Judging by the action Of the
market there is some hope that
this more bullish course may de,
velop before long. I refer to the
fact that IN several important
respects the Monday and Tues
day bulge looked a little more
promising than similar preceding
ones which have proved to be
disappointments. In the first
place, this one left no gap" be-
tween Saturdays high and Mon
days low. Then, too, the volume
Of trading was moderately larger
on Tuesday; it was neither so
large as to suggest a buying
climax, nor so small as to show
no follow through. I would say
that the averages held fairly we'll
on Tuesday.
The bullish arguments may be
summed up as follows:
I'll Bonds have continued to
rise, and have touched new
highs for the year. OF course,
this shows the results of ex-
tremely low money rates, and
some pressure of funds seeking
investment. The point with
reference to stocks is that there
is enough prospect of initiation
to insure that this pressure of
funds will not neglect equities.

STEEL ACTIVITY.
LEVELS OFF

NEW YORK, March IS Q.NSO
Mixed tendencies in steel produc-
ton and in scrap prices indicate
a leveling off of the upward
surge of activity that got under
way in the latter part Of Janu-
ary, the weekly Iron Age Review
points out today.
Ingot output has declined to
481a per cent of capacity as COM
pared with the 49 per cent rate
Of a week ago, due largely to
the tapering off Of demand from
the automobile Industry as a re-
suit of labor troubles and the
more cautious attitude evidenced
in a number of miscellaneous con-
suming lines.
Pittsburgh Output Up
Production has advanced one
point to 81 per cent at Pitts
burgh and three points to SO per
cent in the Philadelphia district,
largely because Of heavier rail-
road releases. More tonnage from
the carriers has also reached
Chicago producers, but not in
sufficient volume to prevent a
two-point drop in operations to
49 per cent.
Among districts specializing in
the lighter rolled steel products,
Detroit and Cleveland continue
to operate at 100 and 50 per cent
respectively. but the Valley rate
has receded from SIS to So per
cent and the Wheeling average
from 30 to IS per cent.

DEMANDS
SUGAR TARIFF
BY International News Service

By International News Service
A demand for protective tariffs
for United States sugar refiners
to "stem the tide Of refined sugar
flowing into this country" was
made by Earl D. Babst, chairman
of the American Sugar Refining
Company in the annual report for
1898. Mr.. Babst declared:
Domestic refineries, with
ample capacity to take care Of
the cOuntry's entire needs, are
operating at ever-reducing vol
ume with frequent shut downs.
Congress can and should impose
protective import duties on re-
fined sugar coming here from
Puerto Rico and the Philippines
and from the Virgin Islands"
American sugar refining, the re-
port showed, had net income
last year of $4,801,574 after all
charges, equal to $3.67 a common
share compared with $2.62 a
share in 1882.
Refining profits, including COOP
erage and shipping, totaled S.
174,7O2, equivalent after deprecia-
ton, to " cent a pound on sugar
handled. A total of 946,624 long
tons of raw sugar was melted
during 1888, the smallest volume
in years, refineries working only
three out of four days.
Surplus OF the company stood
at $11, ,603, f38 and sundry reserves
at $12,050,190 and cash at $10,-
684,011.

COTTON RAN GE
IS LIMITED

NEW YORK, March Is Q.N.S).
Restricted trading and narrow
price fluctuations continued the
rule in the cotton market today
as operators marked time await
ing further developments on the
Bankhead control bill in the
House, scheduled for renewed de-
bate today.
Futures moved within an ex-
tremely limited range, opening /
to points lower and then rising
to the previous close. Dealings in
the forenoon saw a light domestic
trade demand and scattered buy
ing by Wall Street houses Offset
ting offerings from the South.
Cotton men currently are CIV
ing more attention to possible
acreageS abroad which may de-
velop as a result of curtailment
here.
Noon prices were unchanged to
/ point higher, with May up /
at 1925; July unchanged at 1884;
October unchanged at 12.47, and
December unchanged at 1858.

Haney Thinks Stocks
Due to Improve

Anyhow, if you will examine
the course Of bond averages, you
will note that in the past two or
three months the bond market
has furnished an excellent barom-
eter for stocks.
(2) The railway stocks have
been stronger and on Tuesday
rose above the figure reached on
the March bulge. This may in
dicate confidence in railway tras-
fic, which would be a generally
bullish factor. At least strength
in "the rails" always seems to
have a favorable effect on senti.
ment.
90 Both the 20 most active
stocks traded in each day, and
the majority of all stocks traded
in each day, have shown an up
ward trend for five days in sue
ceSSion. This fact, I think,
strongly suggests that the market
wants to go up"
"a The market has held up
fairly well as to breadth or num-
ber of issues traded in. At the
same time, the volume Of trading
has, on the whole, been gradually
subsiding since the peak on March
S. This action seems to be in lieu
of any selling Climax" and sug.
gestS Stabilization without heavy
liquidation.
(5) So far, the averages have
stuck at the lower limit of a trend
line drawn up through the bot
toms touched during the main re-
actions since last October.
The labor situation is some
what menacing. But we note
that the motor industry has now
made concessions in wages and
hours. If these are warranted
by prospective business, and
serve to forestall strikes, this
threat will have been met sat-
iSfactOrily for the present.
I suppose that the long and
short Of it is that everything is
hung up between initiation and
restriction on inflating-between
the policies of the government
as a spender and its policies as
a borrower. Just now it is hold.
ing back and soft pedaling. That
keeps the market undecided.
And most people seem to be
very cautious-say "Stay out and
wait for action" This is proba-
bly, fair enough. Certainly it is
a market factor to be allowed
for.
But 7 continue to think that
stocks selected carefully, with
an eye to initiation possibilities,
are good.

Then she cried sharply. "Who are you. and
what are you doing hereP"
But she knew the minute the light fell on
the man in the deep shadow behind the stairs,
exactly who he was.
The man spoke with . soft menacing sibi-
lance.
Keep that hand up and stick up the
other!"
Alice did as she was told, for out Of q re-
mote past, dimly remembered in her Sicken-
ing terror. another voice cracked: "A dam
gerous man. and armed! A dangerous man,
and armed!"
The man advanced cautiously, q gleam OF
metal in his right hand. reached across the
window, the singularly pale eyes in his sallow
face never leaving her.
"Atta-girl,'' he said. Nov hold tt-and

were ominously unsteady

she stood in the corner between one end Of
the tubs and the wall.
In the meantime she canvaSsed further de-
tails of his unsavory person bare, disheveled
head, soiled gray suit matted with thistles and
Spanish needles; . lavender shirt, stained with
SCOT and sweat; muddy shoes. Prom beneath
his sleeve blood trickled down his left hand
and dripped, from time to time, from his
fingers

with stin lips. But how long do you expect
me to stand here hke-like Liberty enlighten-

Turn that light this way" the intruder
snapped.
He backed away toward the recess under
the stairway, reached up and took something
that hung on . nail there. It was . hanger
holding Craig's blue suit-the one she had
sent to the cleaner several days ago. The de-
livery man must have returned 1t this morning.
The man examined the suit, always with IN
eye to Aices slightest movement, and grunted
approval

he nodded satisfaction.
Upstairs the radio droned on-"Who's afraid
Of the big, bad wolff" It came into this night
mare like an ironic but steadytng voice from
another, saner world.
Alice was thinking rapidly, now that her
first terror had settled into . strained watch
fulness. She must keep her head. Perhaps
some one would come
Some one was coming. Footsteps scraped
in the gravel walk along the side o( the
basement.
QUICK and sinister q . cat the man IN

entrance and shot the bolt Of the door. Scarcely
breathing he faced Alice. his pale eyes sud-
denly blazing. gun raised: and Alice, looking
into those unblinking eyes, Knew now that she
