Stocks, bonds and commodities joined In an advance which re flected a willingness to believe that congress would produce a satisfactory tax measure, even though the bill has some distance to go. Shares marched upward in the best .rally since February 13, climbing 3.3 points on the ave rage. Stock sales totaled 1,628, 700 shares. - President Hoover's message to congress and word he planned to take his appeal to the people made Washington the foeal point of the day's news and Wall street watched closely for congression al reactions.

United States steel's wage cut announcement found prices going up, but their advance seemed to be stimulated by the news. This was true of Steel Preferred which soared nearly 10 a share, and of the Common which crossed $31. Net gains of 3 to 5 points were numerous; some' proved to be considerably larger, but in the range mentioned were Steel Com mon, American Can, Allied Chem ical, American Telephone, Consol idated Gas, Union Pacific, Case.
