RAILS FEATURE WEEK'S STOCK TRADE
Legislation by Congress Important Factor
in Speculation.
NEW TORK. March 9. Tha desultory
character of the atock market in the early
part of this week's operation was attributed
largely to compllcatlona in the foreign situ

especially In rails, resulted mainly from the
agreement arrived at by Congresa relative to
the lentil of the railroad legislation and
further progress of the war finance meas
ure. Gains of 2 to 8 points among high-grade
or Investment transportation aharea were ef
fected chiefly at the expense of a long
standing short Interest In varioua leaders.

and steel. These revealed greatly enlarged
earnings for 1H17.
