There was an other outburst of bullti.lt enlhusissm in th local stock market today, which carried mini securities to a new high level for th present movement. The demonstration in tha first hour was unusually Impressive by reason of the ex traordinary activity, something like Saal.OOO shares chancing hands. Operations emi braced far more than the usual number of Isattes and reflected greater breadth and more genuine demand. Extensive rrr11 taklng followed the Initial rise with another period of comparative dullness, but offerings trivial have been well tar.cn. Judging from the slight inipresnlon on quoted values. The advance was noteworthy on trie s'renitth shown by some minor specialties, but leading slocks held consistently strong. err-H-lallv the coppers. m Th activllv of Krte Issues waa attended hv unconfirmed rumors of purchases by th HIM liner.. ts. Oould stocks msde a good showing, the rise being based on the gener ative accepted Idea that the system again Is becoming a faclur in Western and South western fields.

TRADE IS WI0EHII1G Business Is Improving in All Lines. SENTIMENT IS OPTIMISTIC Active lcniHiirl From Ketailers for Dry Gootls Large rurcliases or l'l"; Iron Leather Is Atlvnnclng. NKW YORK. -March 15.-K. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of linos w-lll say: Business activity is undoubtedly widen ing, while business sentiment, alike In in dustrial, mercantile and financial circles, a becoming distinctly more optimistic. This betterment is voiced in tlie reports from all leading cities. The best exhibit is made by dry S and Iron, and steel trades, and these trades are so fundamental to general business prospcritv that their marked improvement is especially significant. Larse Puruaaf,, of pig Iron, stimulating to all branches of Ihe industry and causing- a Mrenthcni.? of prices, is the chief development in that '"n'tlrv goods there is n active demand bv retailers. Notable sales ot print cloths have been made, and-all cotton goods are active, with advances in prices in certain '"Leather is advancing and hides are strong. The shoe trade is experiencing fairly normal conditions, and in some cities an increase in orders is. noted. althotiKh In New Kngland Ihe factories are beginning to slow op. The copper market has been unfavorable affected by the statistics, show ing a large increase in production in reb ruarv, and also by the British coal strike, which, if long continued, might diminish Ihe foreign demand. The absence of speculation Is a charac teristic feature of business in all branches, and this is coupled with such economies and cffl'-ienelcs In administration h. will enable business to be conducted profitably 011 narrower margins than in Ihe past.

Stocks - aro Unlit, hence" constant pur chasing Is necessary. Gradual, steady im provement, rather than any heavyc rush, is mpecied until after the Presidential con ventions. As regards Immediate developments, the dry goods markets hold the position of ad vantage. Prices are firmer; deliveries of staple goods are slow; Fall orders arc com ing In more freely. Other lines displaying activity are coal. c"ke. pig iron, farm im plements, seeds, staple groceries, paints, hardware, builders' materials In general and iumher. demund for which hitherto has been backward, while there is more doing In machinery, and business with manufac turers of automobiles and accessories so far Is rood.
