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.

Co. wire us: "We are able to report a
very decided revival of strength in the
stock market today and advance through
out the list that would be very gratifying
if It were not believed that the .short
Interest had more to do with it than pur
chases for long account. London came
this morning with a good deal of
strength, and there is a feeling that as
affairs become more satisfactory to the
British In South Africa they will turn
their attention to our securities. As wb
intimated to you in our letters of last
week, the low-priced railroad shares, like
Atchison and Union and Northern Pa
cific, have reflected the great prosperity
which exhibits of their earnings now
show, and we believe today that for con
servative operation they offer excellent
opportunities for profit. It seems rather
inconsistent with call money at 6 per cent
and the very bad bank statement on Sat
urday that the market should be rushed
up In the way it has today. If the move
