*♦♦*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*
American stocks in London strong,
1-4 to 1 per cent, above partly. Tariff
bill expected to pass house of repre
sentatives this week. Supreme court
meets oday. Labor situation in prance
seriously • strained and extensive
strikes feared. Delaware and Hudson
annual report shows 12.39 per cent,
on capital stock, as against 3 per cent,
more or less last year. Weather re
port for March shows disappointing
ly light uflnfail, where most needed.
London market quiet and seady with
improvement where activity develops.
Public service commission orders New
York Central and Delaware and Hud
son in Adirondaeks forest district. In
crease in loans and decrease in cash
features of bank statement. Canadian
Pacific fourth week March gross in
crease $360,000. * Twelve industrials
advanced 0.57. Twenty active rail
roads advanced 0.59. —Dow Jones.
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. Some selling may occur in
Copper on the reported increase in
producers of copper stocks to 200,000,-
000 pounds, but little will be accom
plished. Would buy Car Foundry, To
ledo and Missouri, Kansas and
—New York Financial Bureau.
S. B. Chapin & Co.: Purchases of
July, August and October are now
more advisable, especially on the soft
spots.
Bailey & Montgomery: Should there
be no good moisture the next ten days
bullish sentiment will undoubtedly be
! much Intensified.
.Edward Moyse & Co.: "Time,” and
only a i~.ort time at that, promises
! to be the factor to decide the fate
for prices for many weeks to come.
Hayden Stone: wo shall not be sur
prised to see the spinner come active
ly into the market before the end of

Dick Bros: Sentiment is bullish at
the moment and very few traders feel
like selling the market short.

STOCK MARKET
BECOMING ACTIVE
Henry Clews Says Rest
Cure Has Been Beneficial
and Market Seems to lie
Rousing Itself From Dor
mant Condition..
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.

er holding him and Barton for trial
In South Carolina, on the charge of
the burglary of the postofflee at I’d
iter, S. C., on the night of December
2, 1907.
Barton has a checkered career
and his escape from the Greenville
Jail is not. his first sensational "get
away.” He escaped from the Fulton
county Jail, Atlanta, on February 2,
1908, while awaiting trial for the at
tempted burglary of the safe of the
Bank of Sharon, On. He was cup
tured a month later at Bessemer.
Ala., brought back to Georgia, was
tried, convicted and sentenced to 18
years imprisonment for the Sharon

camp at Milledgevllle, Gu., front
which he escaped, with Andre Ford,
another "yegg," January 13, 1909. be
