The market brolta out of Iti nit nn a somewhat Increased vol tra of trading- and at present t ho ten dncy appears to be higher. Tho mar ket in narrow, however, with a very tTill out.'idc IntereKt, and there np t.f.irs to K Uttla Incentive for taking an s&nTer-slvc position on either elde. The cloe wjih firm Bt a net gain of H t.i 17 point. Quite n number of Influences nlded In ti.rnine traders to tho buying side yes terday. Among these might be noted tie. failure of any s-erlourv labor troubles to develop In tho leading textile con tr. tho actlvo and profltablo market tor stoods and the absence of any dla n'jiet hk nnwri rtRardlns our Interna tonal trojliles. Most Important of ull, perhapr, la the tsndency to credit the South with mak U.t a very email Increafo In n create. A prominent local firm received Uic fo. leVns from Its Texan crop observer: "Prow San Antonio to Austin crop nearly nil planted and up to (rood Ktandn. Cotton about ten days late, but with ood weather will ovi-ruiine moot of the litem About 10 per cent. Increat-o In acrcinrr." Arthur K.

HI 2.M7 GOSSIP OF WAIL STREET. HettlnnlriK lo Worry. In some of the morn conservsthe brokcidno elides thcru Is biirlntiltiK lo be a feeling that tho present udvance In the stock market has gono about far enough until Uermany sends a reply to rrosldent Wilson's latest note on tho htiBSux Incident, or at least until thla country gets some definite Intimation of tthul Uerlln'M reply will r. Wall Street lias by no means forgotten tho abrupt break In prices that camo Just before tasttcr, when It seemed that the necr ance of diplomatic relations between tho litilted States and Germany nitght come ut any time, and Is beginning lo won der If wo hnve not already taken too much for granted In expecting that Ger many will iiow a disposition to con cedn what has been demanded. If (Jcr m.my does this It will be a reversal of the position she has taken on the mih m.irlno Issue. Stocks, particularly Iho KpeclaltlcB, have had a considerable rise Klnce the dip about n week ago. The market position, which was greatly Int. proved by the reaction, has been weak ened by the recent big advances, rang ing anywhere from 2 to 20 points. One broker In n small and conservative house said yesterday that he believed the tier man reply woulfl be to a certain extent unsatisfactory. Itv was so convinced that Germany's reply would at least necessitate u further exchange of notes that ho took profits and advised his customers to do likewise. Tljnnn-t. Mexico may be a little behind the times when It comes to adopting 'peace at any price- policies, but certain sections of thnt country arc proving that they have an appreciation of the values of advertising which would make a the atrical press ugent green with envy. A broker who has just returned from an extensive trip along tho southern bor der of the United States brotiwht back one of the advertisements for the little Mexican town of Tijuana, which wa printed In an American newspaper. Ti juana ts described as a "mile a minute town In a foreign country" whero "thev suro hit her up from da light to dark." To make tho resort more attractive to Its American patrons there Is a gambling casino where "society nights" arc fre qucnt, and where special rooms are of fered for thoso wishing to Indulge In games of chane Ferhap' t'i must In teresting part of the advertisement Is the appeal it makes to tho married man to cmne and bring his family, stating that he can do so with perfect safety and that ".Mexico will entertain them lavishly." Incidentally, there is a JS.flon guarantee thnt gambling at thu'casino Is "on the square." hut the returned New Yorker la sceptical on this point. The FrorHr. The International Mercantile Marine stocks jesterday again dt motutratot RAILROADS TO CARRY OUT BIG PROJECTS THE BOSTON MARKET. Improved Earnings Cause Tnklng Up of Many Old Plans. Railroad companies are preparing am bitious plans for the construction of bridges and terminals which will call for a heavy tonnage of fabricated struc tural steel, llevenuea of nearly all tho transportation linen havo Increased greatly In thn last six months, as Is evident from the extraordinary state ments being issued by the large systems. I'art of the net revenue apparently Is to be put Into Improvements., and many projects) that havo been held In abeyance for the last ten or fifteen years because of lack of funds probably will now be carried out. In April railroad struc tural work, mainly bridges, called for 21.000 tuns of fabricated jdiapcs. In March this year bridge contracts called for 17.000 tojis of steel. The Kebniary orders aggregated 21,000 ton and the January orders callM for K,000 tons of structural matcrlnl. In April last year railroad brldgti orders aggregated 11,000 tons. Last month's orders were thus double thoso placed In April. 101j, keeping up the ratio of Increase made during the first quarter ot thnt year. The Lehigh Valley Railroad hni awarded contractu for Feven or eight bridges, calling for 1.500 tons of struc tural steel, to the Pennsylvania bteel Company, accordlt.g to reports yester day. Olds were bubmtttcd last .Satur day on 1.VO0 ton" nf structural shapes for thirteen xm.ill bridges to be con structed on the Pennsylvania llallroart. It Is expected that awards will be made within the net ten days. The Ilurfalo, Uochcster and Pittsburg has taken bids on a few small bridge?. Hnd tho New York Central and New Haven are still In the market for Imllar work, but lh tonnage Is ery Mnall. One of the Inferos tin1: railroad projects now taklnr new life s that for the Huffalo terminal of th-- Pelnware. Lack awanna and Western Uallruad. Thli. It Is estimated, will call for Hbout S.000 tons of structural steel. Hldn probhly will be submitted some time during tho current month. It will 1m- recalled that the George A.
