NEW YORK , March 27. Nearly all
stocks made advances today and some of
them were of material proportions , Vari
ous reasons might bo nHslfrned for the
movement In Individual stocks , but the
principal motive for the g-eneral rise , ap
parently , was that the steady advance of
prices of late had aroused the ouuJdp pub
lic to buy. The dealings reached nearly
1,250,000 shares.
Aggressive bull manipulation by the lead
ers of speculation had seemingly caused
the public to coasc waiting for an Im
mediate opportunity to secure slocks nt n
lower level. The market opened under an
Impetus of higher quotation.- ! from London
and though larger realizations on profits
was -apparent from time tb time the ad
vance continued , pretty steadily until near
this clo'e , when the rnte for cnll money
reached C per cent , leaving the range for
the day from 4 to fl per cent , with the Inst
.oan at 5 per cent. A number of higher-
priced records for stocks were made today.
The strength displayed on Saturday brought
a largo number of commission house orders
to purchase stock. This caused n pro
nounced rine at the opening and Induced the
elimination of many short contracts. The
principal activity was In the Flower stocks.
there being , for Instance , 25,000 chares of
Federal Steel sold at the opening over a.
range of 4 points and the stock made a net
ndvanoa of G % on reports that the sales
were larse ,
Brooklyn Transit rose 5 points on rumors
that the Brooklyn Union elevated was
said to have JSOO.OOO In cash when taken
Into control by the transit company. The
continued talk of negotiations for n com
bination of gas and electric light Interests
of Chicago was used to the benefit of Pee
ple's Gns to the extent of over a votnt.
Among the other specialties to make larga
Improvements were American Tobacco , 10 ;
Metropolitan , 6 > 4 : Third Avenue , 4 , nnd Con-
riolldated Giis , 3 % .
The largest Improvement among the lead
ing railways was 2i In Northwestern. Feb
ruary traffic returns attracted much atten
tion , as they covered the period during
which traffic was somewhat Interrupted
because of the storms. St. Paul's dscrease
of fomethlng ever J9.000 in the net earnings
was due. to the Increased operating ex
penses , the gross earnings having shown an
Increase. In. the case of Atchlson the road
again reported over J1SS.OOO. although the
gross earnings of the roud decreased about
Among the southern railways Wabnsh
showed a net Increase In February earn
ings ot nearly SS8CK . THe market closed
with no decided tone and no heavy trad-

The bond market today made an aggres
sive show of strength , heavy purchases ot

CATTLE Today's arrivals of cattle were
very light and there were less than a dozen
loads of bo-c.f steels on sale. At the- some
time there was a good demand and though
Chicago was/ / reported no moro than steady
and Kansas City weak , the buyers bought
everything In sight at steady to stronK
prices. Under the Influence of the good de
mand the offerings were all taken early and
the trade soon came to an end for the want
of more cattle to sell.
Only a few loads of cows nnd h-alfers were
on sale and they brought very strong prices ,
the demand being good and the. trade active ,
I here was no material change In the markel
for bulls , stag * , etc.
There were nfew stock cattle and light
feeders that had had no corn and the de
mand for that kind was very active and the
offerings were snapped up early In the
morning and at high prices. Some well bred
wstern cattle sold up to JI.S5. Representa
tive sales :
