SHARP ADVANCE FOR DAY
Kunrora Drnl With rorUiconiinf
Statement of Cn rilled Orders and
Piridend Propotj Trading:
Active nd BrrMid.
KW YORK. March J. For the first few
houra f tradinil on tha stock exchania to
day bueines aa almost tha largest and
b roads i of any recorded this yoar. United
Matve Steel, which reaumed Its old-time
leadership, mads a very decided gain, aa
also did Unton Pacific, which wa second
In point of Btrenatn and activity. lhe
movement of ether stocks wera In keep
ing and the demand on comprehended the
lareeet number of Issues dealt In for many
"ka. M
Activity died down la the afternoon. Flna4
prices ot Steel. Union Pacific, Heading and
Ajnerican Smelting ware a point or more
below the best, but the undertone at the
C.oao was Strong.
On the surface at least there waa little
to account for tha pronounced change. Ad
vices from London were mostly thut the la
bor situation was making Itself mora acutely
felt
In connection with the rise In Steel it was
asserted that a group of influential traders.
prvouIy prominent on the bull side, had
organised a pool. Coiucldent with this was
the circulation of rumor dealing with tha
forthcoming; atAtement of the corporation's
unfilled tonnage for February aud dividend
pro pert a fur the current quarter.
It w as not until after the close of the
market that Wall street learned of tho re
jection of tha anthracite coal miners de
mands by the operators. As a matter of
tact, no other conclusion was looked for.
An unusually large number of railway re
port waa Issued, among them being two
tlould triads. Missouri FactCto showing a
net increaee of flSO.eOO, and St. I,oula. Iron
Motintitin St Southwestern a net decrease of
Slt..o. Missouri. Kansas A Texas de
creased net ftUH.OO and Norfolk St West
ern $114,000, while Great Northern In
creased Its tidal pet revenues by $4:'S.ooo.
chiefly by reason of economy In operations.
The bond market was mo a active, but
shared only In a small measure the strength
of stocks. Total aa.es, par value. 1.-74.00.
United States Government bonds were un
changed on call.
