The Erie stocks, Bur- Pacific and the Grangers gen- erally ‘were aflected by these considerations early in the day. The active profit taking in Amalgamated Copper and in Sugar were also influences on the side of depression. Sugar was temporarily strong because of the advance in the price of the refined product atter the market had closed last night, but sagged away in a characteristic manner on the news later in the day the heavy sugar in on er Its depression was emphasized by import duty levied upon refined the British “budget. Amalgamated Copper. on the other hand, scored practically a complete recovery of its loss in the late deal- ings. The most effective leaders of the market were Atchison and Union Pacific. The deal- ings in both were on a very heavy scale and & professional campalgiWor a rise was clearly being conducted in both. The gossip to ac. count for the rise was that Atchison was to be placed on a 4 per cent dividend basis and that Pennsylvania interests were to be repre- sented in the directory as a result of the al- lcged acquisition of a large interest by Penn. B a in the company. In Union Pacific it was said that the Southern Pacific collaterai bonds were 1o be redeemed, thus releasing the Central Pacific stock, and that Union Pacific was to co-operate with Northwestern in the BONDS.

There is no increase of the duty on tea, tobacco, spirits or beer. An export duty of one shilling has been imposed on coal, A deficit was announced of £39,000,000 and Ppower was asked to issue £60,000,000 of consols. The markets were idle, awaiting the budget. The detalls were not known during business hours. The tone of trading was heavy, con- sols drepping on the expectation of a big issue of the war loan. American shares werc much more active and cheerful. The lower level yes- terday in New York encouraged buying from The Erie issues were the lead- ers here cn the advance.

The climatic _conditions, however, | combined with steady cables and small North- west receipts, was encugh to alarm nervous shorts. This interest and some outsiders bought at the opening, when May sold from 7ic to Tik%c, an advance of %@%c over vesterday's close. During the first hour it reacted to 70%c. Large export engagemecats caused the shorts to cover and May advanced to 7i%c. Profit- taking sales caused a_reaction from this to 70%c. The close was firm, May %@%c higher at_T1@7%e. The corn market was a professional affair.
