New York 59% 59% Call money, New York 3 2% NEW YORK, Feb. 14.— Stocks today ad vanced moderately above the prices prevail ing before the triple holiday. Commission house business was much restricted, as the severe storm has delayed mail orders and kept away many customers. The attendance on the stock exchange was diminished, and prices receded fractionally through early trading. The London market, though, was dull because of storms throughout England, and "Yankee' rails, which showed weakness before our opening because of the blizzard, were subsequently bought for London ac count. Burlington was a most prominent stock for strength on a rumor that a refund ing plan would be put through at tomor row's meeting, although the story lacked confirmation. The ether grangers were sym pathetically strong. Weather news was responsible for lifting the prices of the anthracite coalers and Rub -1 ber. The improving tone which became no ticeable before noon spread to the rest of the list as a rule, and values were generally ad vanced. Other features of strength were the lecal traction shares and the Pacifies and Pennsylvania. The effort to secure dividend payments through legal proceedings was re sponsible for some advances in Pittsburg C., C. <fc St. L. A number of industrials, which showed early weakness, rallied considerably. Included in this category were People's Gas, Federal Steel. Sugar and Tobacco. Prices continued to harden with but temporary pe ricd of hesitation, and the closing was strong. The bond market ruled irregular during the forenoon, but subsequently hardened un der the influence of a good demand for the active lines. Total sales. $2,795,003.

Holbert & Son, bank ers and brokers, 341 Robert street, National German- American bank building, St. Paul: Strong, Sturgis & Co. wire us: "It might have been expected that after three holidays our market would open with a rush. Prob ably the delay in the mails and the unusual climatic conditions combined to check any abnormal demand for securities or unusual excitement, hence we have to report a gocd legitimate range of prices, but nothing un usual. As we ventured to suggest last week, this market is pursuing an irregular course, because speculation is turning to special things and leaving the more fa__*Har lines. It requires now more than the usual knowl edge of something special to prompt pur chases. Thus we see Burlington advancing because a party here believe that the refund ing is near at hand. They think the stock will go above 150 at no distant date. North ern Pacific common has shown a good deal of substance, and although the refunding of the preferred shares is delayed, we feel the common ls slowly but surely seeking a 4 per cent basis. Central Pacific is equally sure, but may not move until the plan Is mere generally known. And that will not be prior to March 1. We think well of buy ing Reading Ist preferred, and believe that the coal combination will meet with ultimate success." FOREIGN FINANCIAL— New York. Feb. 14.— The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: "The markets here were very idle and dull today. Pails sold heavily on unconfirmed rumors of riots there. Americans opened heavy oa the blizzard in America, und the New York money outlook and prices dwindled steadily all day. There was little business, and what there was had no feature. Coppers were feverish. Tintos touched 41% and closed at 40%. Anacondas were 9 9-16 and closed at 9%. Utahs were 10% and closed at 9 9-16. Bostons ranged from 3 13-16 to 2% and closed at 3 1-16. Spanish 4s were 54%. One hundred and thirty four thousand pounds sterling goldin bars was bought by the bank. The nominal price ls 77s 914 d. but the bank bought as high as 77s 9Vd."

Trading the first hour was very heavy ajid general, with Liverpool and the continent leading ln the buying movement. Local shorts sought to cover freely, giving specTal I attention to the nearer deliveries. The reported failure of a large spot cotton house in Liverpool added to the unrest in local circles. Commission houses were seen ! to be buying and selling on the rise, the former being in the crop months and the lat- i ter in the spring and summer deliveries to : take profits.
