Saturday’s market so disregarded the previous evidences of a reaction and showed such pronounced strength that we must conclude the upward movement is not at an end. The Hep burn decision may be handed down at noon today and the immediate move ment of prices depends on it. If against the coal roads a sharp, hut temporary decline is probable, but if in their favor the upbidding will prob ably be vigorous. There is talk of a movement in Wabash soon,( based on alleged new relations with Union Pa cific and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. ; No rain in Texas and weather bu reau says fair weather may be ex pected in the south and southwest the greater part of the coming week Cables very strong. Think large short interest yet to be covered in this mar ket. Texas condition and prospects of only moderate yield next season warrant higher prices. American stocks in London strong, 1-4 to 1 3-8 above parity. Railroad sit uation in we§.t somewhat mixed, hut as soon as tariff question is out of the way improvement will come speedily. Earnings keeping up remarkably well. Canadian Pacific showed very heavy increases. Wabash also doing well. The buying movement on Saturday looked to be of a very potential char acter. No forcing, but all offerings taken seemed to he the policy, and for that reason the Harrimans were not aso conspicuous as otherwise should have been. Strong opening expected today with Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Reading, Brooklyn Rapid Transit, A. R. and Trunk lines reading the way.—J. S. B. & Co. After temporary irregularity higher prices are probable. Purchases of standard issues on recessions arfe advisable. News over Sunday indi cates there is progress in the tariff matter, which is no longer a big fac tor in the market, however. The Sun says that a big banking interest which we understand to be the Morgan par ty, bought stocks heavily recently. A bull tip noted on Chesapeake -and Ohio.

NEW YORK. —The stock market appears to be rousing itself from the dormant condition into which it had fallen for the past month or two. The rest cure has been beneficial, and the result is that the market finds it self in a sounder and stronger posi tion than at any time during the cur rent year. Unfavorable conditions !have been amply discounted,''and whatever changes have taken place are generally for the better. That there has been a turn in the tide of market, sentiment there can lie no question, and it is now expressing itself in more vigorous action. Causes for improvement are visible and per fectly natural. A change of greatest consequence is the reviving tendency of trade. This is particularly noticeable in the iron and steel industry, where reduc tions in prices and a readjustment of wages have laid the basis for a fresh onward movement., For some time past railroads have been quietly fig uring in the steel market for the plac ing of orders, while owners of pro jected buildings have also been se curing estimates upon important con tracts. The result is that in March a very encouraging amount of orders ' were placed for structural material. Of course, the approach of spring, and the consequent starting of out door operations, has had much to do with this recovery, but as just said the most important element has been j the readjustment of values, and a feeling that In many cases'prices of !raw materials had temporarily at least reached the lowest possible point.
