THE LIST CLOSED VERY STRONG Generally Believed That Strength of the Market Was Caused by the Pro. fessional Operators ? Total Sales and Closing Quotations. (My Aiisoctatcd F-rcss.) ' NEW YORK, March 7?The stork market broke Into animation today with a comprehensive uplift of prices. 1 Thero was a disposition to attribute , the demand still to professional sources for Uio most part, tho short interest bavin;: becomo Increasingly uneasy with the power of resistonco shown by the market throughout the week. News of conditions In busi? ness and Industry did not indicate any mnrked chance from the recent mixed results, but the act'on of the market, either gave rise or plausibil? ity IqI some reports that were current "f measures in contemplation by con? cert among powerful Influences to work a betterment In conditions. The coincidence of the presence In the city , <>r several presidents of large railroad j systotni of the country was rcspon- ] slblo for The credence given to one of . these reports. This wns to tho effect] that, application was to be made to the national government on tho part of tho principal railroads in concert for anagreotnent on their part to main? tain wages of labor on their systems If ibey ahull be allowed by tho luterT rtate commerce commission to make :>in Increase In a fixed ritio in the ralo Of freight charges.

Puono' 601. 2-21-lm Cornish Rlvh The westernmost roach of England is "a sub-tropical belt with an equable climate, writes a New York Tribune correspondent under a l'enrance date. | The mean tcmporpjuro Is 10 degrees higher In winter and 1? degrees lower in summer than that of I^ondon. This makes It a health resrort for luvalid.i. the sketching ground of painters and the pleasure haunt of trippers at all seasons. EDryncBB would complete Its attractions as a winter redort, for there is bracing air on the St. Ivos cliffs, ort a sorter, balmier breeze on the Penznnco rim of Mount's Hay, with a walking line of six or eight mllea between the seaboards. Humid? ity is not a serious drawback when tho latitude Is that of Northen! New? foundland and the temperature often higher than in the Riviera. If the skies are gray and hazy more fr? quently than they are blue and clear there Is the charm of modulated light without dazzling glare to transfigure tho wild, rugged coasts and the des? olate, treeless moors and .heaths be? hind Ihem. The pervading mnfslurft not only dampens the roads, but also keeps the verdure fresh on cliff and hillside. Open nlr roses and camel? lias do not cease to bloom in Decem? ber, nor fuchsias and daisies in Jan? uary; and even In a backward Feb? ruary rhododendrons, myrtles and hydrangeas nre revelling In warmth, violet;; and wild hyacinths are flower? ing in sheltered corners,'and gorse and daffodils are lighting up hedge? rows and meadows with golden glory. If the display of palms and exotics In the Morrab gardens behind tho Esplanade be a disappointing remin? der that the real tropics are a long way oft. a leisurely stroll along the cliff patlm. or a longer dash over the hills to St. Just or St. Burynn, offers proof that the earliest and balmiest English spring Is hero and In tho Srillles. Invalids ought to be cheerful and happy in Penzance, especially when there nre rich mists of sunlight over the long combes and granite patches inland, as there have been In my rambles. They do not seem content? ed when they line in solemn state with a muster of fifty or sixty under a single Toof. Pro-occupied with hacking cough or creeping chill, they cat or smoko in silence, take their ailments with morbid Kcrlousness, complain of the flints In the roads and of the hazo In the sky and ex? hibit the torpid inertia of molluscry. The Culf Stream, dividing oft tho Sclllles and warming each side of Uao narrow, rock l.*aund promontory, Is an effective system of heating ap? paratus, but it cannot raise tho tem? perature and counteract the depress? ing lolluenco of a large company of well-to-do "English invalids who are watching their symptoms, worrying oved their digestion and oxhausting their energies in killing.time. What causes them morn irritation than sbavory weather or a dull, gray sky, Is the appearance of thoroughly healthy animals hi walking suits, who live In the open air, capor along the coastgunrd paths- like goats and chat? ter vivaciously about a twenty-five mile tramp when they themselves nro breathless and footsodc after a ten minute turn In the Morrab Gardens, and ache in every rheumatic Joint af? ter a three-mile drive to Mount St. Michaels. It Is to the old-fashioned . walker that tho Land's End district appeals with Irresistible fascination. The roads are too rough for comfortable driving or cycling. The motor omni? buses running to SI. Just or Sennen are nosy rattletraps, filled with gar? rulous miners and rustics. The walker is released from dependence upon these Jolting, nerve rending ve? hicles and at liberty to head for the coastguard path across the fields, and when he has found it. to follow the sen in a long circuit of high cliffs- a id deep ravines. Having left Cape Coin wall behind him, he sees tho Scilller, 'far seaward and presses on to the quaint village of Sennen and the grauite headland of laud's End. with Dr. Johnson's grim features high aliov? the islets and with tho natural tunnel where western and southern seas are ever clashing. The walk has barely begun at the westernmost look? out in England, for the cliff:-: arc to be followed from one howldcr-hcap ,od, lichen-coaled cape to another un? til Logan 'Ttoek, or if the time serves until Lamouna Covo Is reached. One picturesque covo succeeds* another, with shingles of yellow sand under? neath precipitous rock facades pierc? ed with caverns; and the whitewash? ed atones lead on over abysmal ra? vines and lofty terraces, with the occau ever in sight and equally glo? rious under a gray or a blue sky. One lofty escnrpment marks a shlftlug of the trend of the coatft from south to e,i:,t, a11a behind it iu a sheltered hol? low Is a tiny villugo, St. Ixivan, with lychgato and church tower, tl:: the coast runs ou, with It.-t heavily Uit i tressed Promontorien and deep ferny combes fringed with sand, all the way from .ILogan Rock to T>amouna and Nctwiyn; and the walker's enthusiasm increases every mile. Tbl* circuit, of Cornish coast may I not bo so grand as the loftier sea range of Mayo and Donegal, nor so beautiful in coloring as the Devon? shire b-caboard, or the chalk palisades of Dover, but It In rugged, wavo-rid den and picturesque, as England's outermost rock wall ought to be un? der the ceaseless beating of tho At? lantic; ami behind it are the bare, wind-swept hills, where gorso and daffodils are beginning to burst Into golden splendor. It is the grouping rather than tho height of the mouu tains that leiuls dignity ami loveli? ness to the English lako dlBtrlct: ami In tho samo way it is Iho bohl.I wave-broken conformation of the ( Cornish range of cliffs?the unending variety in tho shaping of the masses i of rock and tho Indentations for I Shelving beaches and verdant glens of heather and broom?that makes It ;i beatiUful and Impressive seuboard. Moreovor, the const has not been spoiled and vulgarized by modern improvements. The majestic head-! lands, Pardoniek and Tol Pedn 1'eu wlth. are not crowned with garish hotels; nor are the curving crests ot the Whitesnnd and Mill bays deeorat od with ainblllouH villaB; nor nro tho shingles or s-nnd littered with bath ' Ing machines, 'summer houses and advertising hoardings. It is an iso- j luted and lonely coast, free from tho depredation-, of speculative builder: und the vulgar trntllc of trippers' side shows, and reserved In Its primitive wUdnOBs and niyatory for Ih? Iran-] (lull enjoyment of nrtlsla and lovers'] of natural scenery. There are also the Cornish fishing | villages, plctureehuo and quaint as the homely little Dutch havens. Thret of them are within easy walking dis lame from Penziineo. Nuwlyn waul discovered 'by Mr. Stnnhopn Forbes' and other painters long ago, and it | has remuiued tho centre for a distinc? tive and peculiarly vivid style of Eng? lish art. with Intense renllmn In tho gonro work, with dramatic movement I lu the fishing nnd harbor ucenos, and with subtle observation of light in water painting. It is a fantastic jumble of quaint, stone cottages, flail | cellars and crooked lanes, with reach of gray water crammed with | smnll craft after nightfall, and .' rough causeway loading to tho artists qusrter, with Us studios nnd villas. Fishermen, sailors, net menders, IIbIi canncrs, markctmen, flsh wlvog nnd I swarms of children form a homely llttlo community, sombre in color and shadowed with dirt and poverty, hut asllr with vigor nnd vivacity. Newlyn Is one of the most delightful and ohnraet eristic bits of picturesque Cornwall, and the auclcnt Ashing quarter of Bt. Ivos is another, with long fllghl.i of stone steps leading to wharfsido rookeries, with rough hewn arches over b'qualld alloys paved with cobblcdtoues, and with tho grime and pathos of poverty circling around iho homely parish church. St. Ivos, like Newlyn, has its colony of artists .sum? mer nnd winter, but provides hotter quarters for them lu tho higher and more fashionable torraccs| Marazion Is another fishing village near Pen zance, on tho curving shore of the bay, nnd United with it at low Ilde by a natural causeway is tho Eng? lish copy of Normandy's Mont Kt. Michel?tho beautiful monastic for? tress of the St. Aubyns, buttressed high upon a rocky Island and looking Bcrenely seaward. Altogether It Is not strange that robust wnlkcrs released In midwinter from tho smudge and ft>g of i^omlon and renewing their youth in the early Cornish spring, find It difficult to re? strain, their enthusiasm after their day's tramp along tho cllff.i ami among the fishing villages has onded and they Join the apathetic mollusltc at dinner In the invalids' glided cage. Tholr eyes' have been opened to tho beauties and harmonies of a wonder? ful region, where the steel gray in shy and foaming B?rge matches tho steel ,gray of the coast wall?the linprog nnhlo rampart of the Motherland. They have not boon envying the rich their motor cars and smart equip? ages, for they have gone far from tho flint strewn road and been drawn into clos*o companionship with na? ture among the grand headlands ami rockbound terraces.
