Prey. Close. Day. LJar silver. New York jyTj 59^ Call money. New York 4 3^ NEW YORK, March 12.—Today's stock market was unmistukab,ly strong "through out. The demonstrates indifference of the market on Saturday to the swift de pletlon of surplus reserves of New York banks took the nitunstay of the bears from beneath them. The demand from short interests was a Factor in the ad vance In prices, and especially In the In dustrials, which have recently beon un der pressure. There were several ele ments of positive strength in the mar ket also, but the largest part of the buy ing was undoubtedly due to the effort of the professional element among the speculators to discount the effect of the currency bill. Not only the smaller class of professionals who have recently had the market to themselves, but operators of larger mold gave evidence of ihelr in tention to do so. The demands of the stock market on the money supply was evinced by a flurry in the call loan market to 6 per cent. The speculators paid no attention to this ad monitory system, being apparently con vinced that the end of the money market troubles was at hand with the enactment of the new currency law, which is to be sent to the president tomorrow. There were occasional periods of dull ness in the market, apparently with a view of testing It, The quick subsidence or activity without any reduction in prices and the firmness of the resistance to de cline, confirmed the confidence of the bulls, and started prices upward again. The closing was quite active and strong at near the top level. Net gains in the principal active Industrials and speclal lics, including Sugar, Tobacco, People's Gas, Anaconda, the Iron and steel stocks and the New York public utilities, ranged from 2 to over 4 points. The trunk lines ami Southern railroads gained a point or over. ,A feature of the trading was the num ber of three-day contracts recorded on the tape. There was a very generous sprinkling of transactions In fractional lots all through the Hat. Indicating an investment demand, which had no email part in the feeling of .confidence evluoed by the speculative element. A. back ground of strength to the whole market was afforded by the large absorption ot railroad bonds, especially those of the higher grade. This must undoubtedly be attributed to the pressure for reinvest ment of funds which have been realized by investors who have sold government bonds at the high, prices prevailing, the banks buying them to use for security for circulation. It seems to escape no lice that this in a measure Is an antici patory employment of the extended cir culation, since the capital of the national banks, which lias" gone for the payment of these bonds, looks to bank note issues for its release and re-employment. London was a liberal buyer of several stocks, and considerable influence was exerted by the large subscriptions report ed to have be^n made in New York to the new British loan. It is argued that those subscriptions indicate an abundance of capital, and they will represent also a quickly couvertible foreign credit upon which the country can draw in case of need in the money market. Reports of railroad earnings for the rirst week In March were encouraging. A good effect was produced by the state ment of exports for February of agricul tural products, the large Increase In value of cotton exports for the month giving it the record for February. The bond market was active and strong throughout. Total sales par value,fft-206,000.2- t -206,000. U. S. 3s coup and new 4s reg de clined Vi; do coup, %. and old 4s % In bid price. STOCK QUOTATIONS.
