STOCKS GAIN s STRONG TONE Almost the Entire List Shows Advances. NEW TORK. March 16.—The stock market displayed an Irregular tendency at the opening today, overnight buying orders resulting in advances in many issues ■while some stocks fell back under profit taking. Changes generally, however, were to higher levels. Steel common sold down % of a point to 79%. Crucible, after advancing 1 point to 86, lost the greater part of this gain. Republic Steel sold up over 1 point to 65%. Atlantic Gulf was again in supply, 2% points off, at 33%. Sears-Roebuck first rose 2 points to 77 and then yielded to 76. L General Asphalt, after advancing to yielded to 49. Bkew Haven was unusually weak, drop--1% points to 16. fell fractionally to 67%. Pacific rose % of a point to 79. Sir ilean Petroleum rose 1% points to aud then sold down to 143. The local transportation and utility Uaues were strong. Brooklvn Rapid Transit moved up over 1 point to 13%. and Interborough made a gain of 1% points to 14%. Third Avenue rose 2 points. The Interborough and Brooklvn Rapid Transit bonds were In demand, several of these issues making advances ranging from 2 to over 3 points. The movement was based on the progress made toward the passage of the transit bill through the State Legislature. The market developed a strong tone after the first fifteen minutes and during the remainder of the first hour accumulation was in progress in nearly all the leading issues. The chief factor in the market situation iwas the oversold condition, which was idisclosed in the stock loan market yesIterday. Stndebaker was Influenced by the good showing made in the annual report published this morning, and that stock ranged from 60% to 62%, coming close to the high made abont a month ago. Chandler was also in good demand, moving up 1 point to 75. United Fruit, which commanded a premium of % per cent for use ranged from 99% to 100%. A. G. and W. I. rallied from 33% to 33%. New Haven, after declining to 16%, rallied to above 17. United States Steel, which yielded % of a point to 79%, was steadily bought, and Baldwin Locomotive was in good demand, ranging from S5 to SC%. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 16— Tuesday's stock market was in all respects similar to what we have experienced for the past several weeks, price variations resulting from the ln-and-out operations of the professional element, commission house business playing but a minor part. There can be no mistaking professional sentiment. They have been bearish, and they're still bearish, and are ever on the lookout for weak spots in the market. They will sell one stock and then another. If liquidation does not follow their selling, a covering movement Immediately follows, and then the same eftfprt directed In some other plsce. the main pressure was directed against Atlantic Gulf, Asphalt and Mexican Petroleum. Then they centered their attention on United Fruit. The morning selling, however, was not very effective and was followed by a fair rally, but evidently this rally was the result of short covering, for there soon followed a period of dullness which again encouraged sellers to renew their efforts, and this time with better success, especially in Atlantic Gulf aud Asphalt. The rails gave signs of a little more stability, evidently after sufficient time to thin'v over the railroad situation. Views are not as pessimistic us was the case when wage reductions were first announced. We can see no change in the general market situation. The future still looks uncertain, and we can see no encouragement to longs, except for those who are concent to gradually accumulate the stocks they want on a scaledown. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT.

GRAIN FUTURES MAKE GAINS Heavy Commission House Buying Chief Factor. CHICAGO, March 16.—Grain prices advanced on the Chicago Board of Trade today, due to heavy buying by commission houses. News from the Southwest reghrding Insect activity in the winter wheat was apprehensive and influenced the trend of the market. Provisions were higher. March wheat opened up lc at $1.56% and gained 2c later. May wheat opened up %c at $1.49% and advanced 2%c additional. May corn opened up %c at 69%c and gained another %c before the close. July corn opened up %c at 71%c and advanced %c later. May oats opened up %c at 43%c and gained an additional %c later. July oats opened at 44%c, up %c, and subsequently advanced %c. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 16. Wheat—Export business of rather large proportions developed again Tuesday and served to offset the liquidation which has been in the market recently. The amount of business done the last two or three days is reported at from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000, the British commission the largest buyer, with moderate quantities to central Europe. It Is not stated, but It Is believed, that the most of this business has been for United States wheat, gulf shipment. The volume has been sufficiently large to strengthen the cash market and advance premium for shipment to the gulf from 2 to 3 cents. Betwi'en economic conditions and the uncertainties surrounding growing crop, opinions are considerably divided. In view of the unexpectedly large foreign demand, we are of the Idea that the market is on debatable ground and that the so-called economic situation will be overcome by the tenor of the news from the growing crop. For several days past, crop news has been j quite favorable, but we are beginning to ; receive claims of insufficient moisture in western Kansas and a revival of green but talk from a limited area. Corn and Oats—A falling off In re- j celpts, together with the action of wheat ' has helped strengthen corn and oats. Ex- , porters continue bidding for corn, but no sale swere reported Tuesday as hold-1 ers are more confident In their views on i the theory that the movement from the country Is over. Wo anticipate Irregular action with wheat the controlling in-1 fiuence. CHICAGO GRAIN. —March 16— WHEAT— Open. High. Low.

CHICAGO, March 16. —Billions of dollars will be required In the next few years to finance the propert development of electrical facilities in Illinois and the country at large, and this must come from the investing public, Samuel InBiVl president of the National Electric Light Association, told the second session oi uhe joint convention of Illinois public utilities today. Insull, the principal speaker on the day’s program, urged public utilities of Illinois to the utmost effort at gaining public good will and understanding of the difficulties that yearly face public service corporations. “The tremendous and necessary electrical development can be brought about only through an enlightened public opinion,” Insnll said. “Great as are the achievements of utilities In the last twenty years, they are not miracle workers and cannot obtain men and money at less cost than any other industry. Development work must be paid for and money for investment must come from those who are thrifty and have contideace in the prosperity of the industry."
