Gains Embraced All the Leading ls- sues Except U, S. Steel. New York, March 19.—Stocks today recovered more of the ground lost in the early days of the week, the list, with a few unimportant exceptions, | showing marked strensth. The deci- 1 sion of the London stock exchange to bLring the American shares on its list down to the miniumum established by {the local exchange was without the unfavorable effect anticipated in some quarters. In fact the result was quite the reverse, a moderate demand for our stocks being reported from Lon- don. Gains embraced all the leading is- sues, although U. S. Steel and Union Pacific were relatively backward. Ad vances in the coppers were substan- tial oa announcement of a slight ad- vaace in the price of the metal.

More gold imports were announced, partiy from Canads, making a total of $5.500,000 for the week. Exchange jmarkets as a whole were steadier, | cables and drafts on London rising over yesterday's low quotations. Ger- iman remittances were more firm, but | francs showed no appreciable change. Local panks are expected to show a large gain a sthe result of the week's movements, much of which is tracea- ble to the gold inflow.
