NEW YORK. March 7. The stock market
broke Into snlmatlon today with a compre
hensive uplift of prices. There wss a dis
position to attribute the demand still to
professional sources tor the most part, the
short Interest having become Increasingly
uneasy with the power of resistance shown
by the mirket through the week. News of
conditions in business and Industry did
not Indicate any marked change from the
recent mixed results, bat the action of the
market either gave rise or plausibility to
some reports thst were current of meas
ures in contemplation by concert amongst
powerful Influences to work a betterment
In conditions.
The coincidence of the presence In Use
city of several presidents of large railroad
systems of the country was responsible for
the credence given to one of these reports.
This was to the effect that a proposition
was to be made to the national authorities
on the part of the principal railroad com
panies In concert for an agreement on
their part to maintain wages of labor on
their systems, if they shall be allowed by
the Interstate Commerce commission to
make an Increase in a fixed ratio in the
rate of freight charges. The enormous
change In net results to follow a change
of a fraction of a mill In the freight charge
ror conveying one ton a mile on the rail
roads of the country has often been com
mented upon and illustrates the Importance
which such an adjustment would have. 01
any official confirmation of this report
there was none. The same was true of an
assertion that the anthracite carriers had
worked out a plan for meeting the com
modity clause of the Hepburn rate law,
which goes into effeot on May 1, and which
had threatened serious embarrassments to
those companies. The announcement that
the Knickerbocker Trust company would be
permitted to resume business was a favor
able factor. The reduction In the official
discount rate of the Imperial Bank of Ger
many and a decline In the private dlsnount
rate In Paris witnessed the relaxing ten
dency of the world's money markets. 80
did the local bank statement, although the
supplementary statement of the actual con
dition of the banks on Friday evening and
ot the institutions outside the clearing
house had to be looked to to trace the im
provement, rather than the regular state
ment or averages, xne increase in loans
showed by the latter evidently reflected
the effect of last wek's operations, the ac
tual loan item on Friday evening showing
a sharp contraction. The market closed
very strong at the top level ot prices.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, 31.878,000. United States 2s, regis
tered, have declined per cent and the 2s,
coupon, and 8s, Pr cent on call during
the week.

CATTLE There was the usual small
Saturday's run of cattle today and prices
were nominally unchanged. For the six
days receipts have been comparatively
light owing largely to the impassable
country roads and the difficulty In market
ing the stuff, so that the supply falls
some 2,000 head short ot a week ago and
nearly 6,000 head short of a year ago.
In point of quality the offerings showed
no particular change, the bulk of the receipts-
'consisting of fair to pretty good
corn-fed beeves, with a scarcity of ohoice
well finished grades and not a great many
of the strictly Inferior kinds.
The market has been on the up turn
from start to finish, closing quotation
being about 154i25c higher than a week ago.
The demand from local packers has been
well sustained throughout, while vigor
ous competition from shipping and export
buyers has .made a lively market and
kept the offerings well cleaned up. De
slrablB light and handy weight beeves have
been the best sellers and show the full
advance, v hlle the heavy cattle, unless
choice, have been rather slow sale and, In
some cases, are not so very much higher
than a week sgo. Eastern markets have
experienced much the same conditions and
the tone to the trade has been healthy and
strong throughout.
In butcher stock and csnners the ad
vance has been even more marked than
In fat cattle. There hns been a vigorous
Inquiry from both local packers and out
side buyers for decent killing stock aad
the tone of the trade has been firm most
of the time. Fair to good grades are
selling to better advantage than either
the cliolce or the commoner grades, the
outlet for the latter being still somewhat
restricted. Veal calves are selling at
strong prices, and the same holds true of
bulls, stags and rough stock generally.
In stockers and feeders the movement
has been very light. Both supply and de
mand have been limited, and while the
tone to the trade has been weak, the ad
vance In beef steers has naturally tended
to sustain values, and the bulk of cattle
are selling Just about the same as a week
ago. Light grades have the call as usual,
but the demand Is limited and the tone

HOOS Receipts of hogs were only mod
erate this morning and no particular change
was noted in the general character of the
offerings. Stronger markets east, a sharp
advance In provisions and a vigorous local
demand were all In seller's favor and prices
ruled 64i loc higher from start to finish.
As compared with a week ago the market
ls all of 1016 higher, the advance being
more on the light and medium we.ght hogs
than on tne Heavy grades, Uenerat condi
tions surrounding the tiade show very little
change na compared with a week ago and
the advance in prices has been due largely.
If not entirely, to the reduced supplies.
Local packers as well as outside buyers
continue to show a preference for the heavy
and butcher weight hogs, but the scarcity
of these Is bringing about a better demand
for the light and light mixed loads, and the
range of prices has been prowing narrower
right along. Tops today brought 34.62
as against . yesterday ana tne milk of
the trading was al 84.40&-4.43 as against
4.3vtf4.3i yesterday.

well especially toward the latter part of the
week.
For mutton grades ofl ewes, yearlings
and wethers, the trade has been even more
satisfactory than that on lambs. Prices
Improved from day to day so that values
are 26 43 60c higher than a week ago. The
movement throughout the week was brisk
and the market all around ls in very good
shape for this time of year when It ls con
sidered that during the Lenten season the
demand is not so brisk.
A considerable number of shorn sheep
and in in lis are now arriving and the num
