NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Fnrlonn Speculation In Burlington and. Kortliern, Pacific Holding. NEW YORK, March 29. This was an other day of heavy speculation In the stock market. The individual examples o( notable strength served as an effective prop to the whole market, and kept the bullish spirit lri the1 ascendant nlthmmh jjrofU-taklng was on an enormous scale FINANCIAL NEWS all day. The movement was not espe cially connected with any new develop ments, but everything received a favor able interpretation from the enthusiastic bulls, and If anything unfavorable came to their notice it was totally ignored. Burlington and United States Steel stocks were the most conspicuous features In the market, as was the case yesterday, and their strength had a decisive influence on the whole list. Burlington was buoy ant from the outset, mounting 4 points over last night's close In the opening transactions by- successive stages of half a point at a time on absorption of 15,000 shares. No authorized announcement was made of a- closing of the Northern Pacific Burlington deal, but the speculators ac cepted the assertion that "the plan was ripe." There was a furious speculation hi this stock, which carried it up through successive reactions to lio, with the close only a shade below that. The profit-taking in Northern Pacific was very heavy, carrying the stock down 1 from the top level and closing at only a small rally with a net loss of . The volume" of dealings in United States steel stocks was contemplated with de light by the commission brokers as an active speculation in a stock comprising a capital of 8,500,000 shares. The day's business In the common stock amounted to 153,000 shares, and in the preferred to 120,000 shares, or for both 17 per cent of the total transactions. The common stock was lifted at one time 1 to 46. and the preferred IVi to S6. The offerings brought out at this level were enormous, and ap parently the supporters of the stock were satisfied to maintain them at near that level, which was done to the end. There was a very notable demand for high grade Investment stocks and for some others on which the dividend return is still at a high rate. In this class North western was lifted 5. St. Paul & Omaha 8. Lackawanna 9, Delaware & Hudson (, New York Central ex dividend 2, Illinois Central 2i. and Western Union 3&. There were various other points of strength Including the Readings, the New York public utilities, the smelting stocKs on a rebound from yesterday's depression, People's Gas and various other stocks, Including grangers. The Eries, the Wheel ing & Lake Erles and the Southwestern group showed the effects of realizing. Sugar was also under pressure. The fact that no engagements of gold were made for tomorrow's steamer was regarded as a favorable factor, although the sterling exchange market was called firm at a slightly lower level. In sympathy with somewhat easier discounts In London. The promise of an unfavorable bank state ment was ignored. There was less activity In the bond mar ket today, and the price movement was Ir regular. Total sales, $3,895,000. United States, new 4s advancea y per cent on the last call. BONDS. U.

London Is beginning to anticipate the Easter holidays. The tone was satisfactory. Even Americans were affected. That department was idle and London was taking profits In a leis urely fashion, until New York caused a hardening- of prices by purchases of the Northern Pacific Issues, Ontario & West ern, and a sharp spurt In New York Central. This last was on bidding In the street after the close. Part of the latest strength was attributed to the re.portn of the deal for the control of Mexican Cen tral. London Is now displaying no Inde pendence whatever In Its trading In American stocks. Everybody liere Is simply fo'owlng the New York lead and the local market becomes distinctly nerv ous on any break in Wall street. The Bank has bought 502,000 of gold bas winch came from India.

March 29. The corn pK was overflowing- with traders nt-theopen!ng. and their eyes were fastened on George Phillips, who Tvas believed to havfc con trol of the market or to be very close to a commanding position. Light country" offerings, despite Ijigher bids sent out last night, smaller receipts nqd the di minishing proportion, of .contract grade in them were influences which kept the bull ish blood circulating. v " Phillips, wh( ae line of long stuff Is vari ously estimated in tne million, met the tide of buying, orders, and these came from nearly all quarters, with many 50,001 and 100.000 lots. Opening sales -werp at 42?fc43c, and during the first 15 minutes the market climbed to 43c. xne rnn lips selling carried In Its Vake other hold ings from traders who are accustomed to follow him. The quantities, tosaed about were of record-breaking volume. So broad was the demand, however, that the In tense pressure succeeded In forcing the market only to 42"t4c Here Phillips ceased his liquidation. In accounting for Phillips move, it was said he was selling most of his stuff to brokers who were really his agents, and that he had attempted td" shake out tho weak longs and lend confidence to the bears to secure a firmer hold upon the market. Phillips became a buyer before the noon hour, and this so alarmed the shorts that the market speedily reacted, May advancing to 44c. the highest price this season for ay ueuvery. ac "" was buoyant at lc over yesterday at WAc It was reported Sthat the corn Phillips sold at the start wfcs bought In by brok ers acting for him, In pursuance of an at tempt to further strengthen his hold on the market by shaking out the weak holders.

What aid. the current Is giving to 'dp stream dredging at Knapp's has- not teen determined, as accurate soundings have not been made. , President Hughes, of th Port of Portland Commission, made a sounding while at Knapp's Thursday, and J e- nd hat the current Is not depositing 5 "'ieriai in the rear of the dredge, as has "Va predicted by some who do no$. .s,ee wherein up-stream dredging is any Im provement upon, dxuvn-stream. dredging. fThe cut, TieKays, 's deeper than when the dredge lert.lr.. Speaking of his trip, he said yestcrda: ,,. , . , , When I xeajcfisd tne .dredse .Thur'sddy inornlnr It had ieen working up- stream lA'ASt Sx?r,&r,.Tn'i-)itrJs Stoics: .MAV.n' ..... !,...

The cutter is kept pn the bou torn at tnat depjhHthQ water bringing the material clown to it. Tho bank being worked against has been abdut nfne fcjet high, while above the point for a short distance It was 14 feet. Dredge and cur rent have made a cut about 500 feet long. 160 feet wide, and an average of nlfie feet deep, or more. It Is still too soon to de termine Just what effect the current is haying, nor have accurate soundings thus far been taken to ascertain to just what extent. If any. It is widening the cut mado. We have sounded to the rear through the cut to ascertain whether the current was depositing material there, as was predicted would be the case. The cut Is slightly deeper than when the dredge teft It. "It Is the purpose of the commfsslon to do Its dredging, when practicable, with a view to permanent results, and the effect on other bars abovetand below. Prior to the building of the dike at Hayden's Island there was a current through the channel between the Island and the Ore gon shore strong enough to deflect the current of the main river and cause It to follow the shore of Sauvle's Island until It reached Willow Bar, keeping open a channel of from 30 to 50 feet to below Reetler's. The dike hns shut off this de flecting current, and the current of tne main river now strikes Sauvle's Island at Morgan's, deepening the wa.ter at that point, but deflecting It to. the center of the river below, where It is now work ing out a new channel outside the pres ent bar at Reader's. "Tha object of making the present deep cUt Is two-fold. We expect the current to widen It to over 300 feet, but In doing this there may be some heavy material which the current will not move, and which will be deposited, in the bottom of the cut, reducing Its depth possibly to 27 or 25 feet at low water, but leaving, at all events, a wide channel, easily navi gated at extreme low Water for vessels drawing full 25 feet. As we are working In the line of th'e heavy current, we hope, by Increasing the flow through the center of Willow Bar, to Increase the flow In th? channel now making at Reeder's to ruich an extent that It will keep Itself open, to over 25 feet, relieving us of over 2000 feet of dredging at that point. The present cut will be about 5000. feet In length. Wo expect to be able to" complete It by the latter part of April. The full result of our work at this point cannot be deter mined until after the Spring freshet." . Mnst Put Up the Cost. Gervals Star.
