Star Performer, Advanc ing Near 11 Points. New York, April 1.—On what evi dently was a further demand from an uneasy short interest, prices opened up sharply In this morning's market. The emphasis laid by Saturday’s $3,000,000 surplus reserve was the principal in fluence In this movement. In an ad vance of 1 to 2 points over Friday's closing figures, however, the rise waa checked by profit taking, and these sales were In large enough volume for the rest of the forenoon not only to prevent a further advance, but to ef. face a good, part of the early gains. One or two Incidents of the trading were not particularly relished by the speculative element. One of these was the action of Canadian Pacific, which, after selling off nearly 6 points, at the opening, was marked up 12 points In the course of the first half hour. The suggestion that something like a corner existed In this stock was undoubtedly calculated to disturb the equanimity of the general market. New Y'ork.
