NEW YORK, March 18.—The course of events in last week's stock murket led up to to-day’s | excitement on the Stock Exchange. The pow- | erful professional epeculators who had been | mantpulating prices for an advance for a long | time saw growing outside interest in the market. The relief afforded by Saturday’'s bank statement gave pretty good assurznce of an increased de- | ** and for stocks this morning. The public petite was whettsd by several announce- ments, which either came very opportunely for the purpose or were st aficat with & view of their effeci. One of the greatest difficulties | which the professional bulls have had to con- | tend with was the dragging tendency of the ocks, under the apprehension that when the new United States Steel Corporation stocks are introduced on the Stock Exchange they may prove weak and have an unsettling in- fiuence on the general miarket. The report that | the Rockefelier iron interests In the Lake Su- | on were %o be included in the steel erefore proved very opportune and awakened the steel stocks ils were vouchsafed of the terms or whether any increase in the proposed capital issue of the great steel corporation was involved. The #tock of that corporation Was active and buoy- ant in the curb marke: in sympathy with the ‘movements of other siocks on the exchange. There was & continuance of the excited specu- lation in Burlington on the publication of the recumstantial assertions that President J. J. Hill of the Great Northern had secured con- trol of the Burlington. Burlington's insiders were inclined to deprecate these assertions, giving color to the belicf that competitive buy- for control was guing on. Gentially stated that the New York Central | had secured control of the Manhattan s&nd would guarantee a dividend of § per cent. This statement recelved an emphatic denial from the president of the New York Ceatral General Electric's advance was an of the supposition thal the new control of the Manhattan would haster its electrical equip- ment. The rise in the other grangers was pal- pably in eympathy with Burlington, St. Paul @ione hanging back. Missouri Pacific seemed 1o be marked up in an endeavor to revive the strength, of the Southwesterns, but the ma- meuver proved without effect. ' A number of fpeciaitics | moved independently. including Sugar, Tobacco, Consolidated Gas, Gas and American Snuft preferred. The New York, Chicsgo and Bt lmh #tocks, Pacific Coast second preferred, ern preferred and e oy Nashville were all comspicuously strong. The weakness of the coalers was due to fears of a miners’ strike. Great Northern on profit-taking on the declaration of the stock subscription rights.
