NEW TOniC, March 8.-Encourni?ed by rport of better trade conditions In vari ous eectlons of the country, traders put out demands for stocks today and the market bccamd strong. There wns also some buying noted from Investors. The mibply did not appear to be largo and quo tations roso easily on any bidding. Open ing prices were, for the most part, above the final on Saturday, and as the day advanced further Increases were made. Around midday prices were up about a point all around, and .In somo cases more. The strength of the market became more pronounced after the noon hour. Thero were heavy buying orders from both trad ers and Investors and prices rose steadily to new high levels. A very largo short Interest was caught on the advance and this' Interest tried vainly to cover, result ing In higher prices all around. Throughout the morning session Rend ing and Steel common were the lenders, and this was also the case In the after noon, ntded by tho railroad stocks. Ad vances of a point nnd a half throughout tho list were common, while In several cases stocks rose iS. abovo their final of Saturday. A few minutes beforo the close tho market declined fractionally from the high, but losses wero not great. Traders regarded tho strength as duo to tho recurrence of rumors of peace In Europo In the near futuro and to the decision of tho Supreme Court In tho 2 cents per mite passenger rate case over the Norfolk nnd Western in West Vir ginia, the Supremo Court doclarlhg that rate Is too low. Norfolk nnd Western stock responded to the decision by rlstng a. point. Sentiment was much Improved through out tho Street by tho reports of better trade conditions. These Included a report from Pittsburgh that for the first time in nearly two years every department of tho Carnegto Steel Company Is now active, about 4000 men have been put back to New York Stock Sales - Last doss.

Over 1000 Sharon of the latter changed hands at 7T. Tho ndvnnclnjr movement In these Issues of late Is attributed to the rise In the price of sliver. There xvns less ne tlvlty In tho traction shares, but they ruled Orm. The Street Is Inclined to wnlt until tho new ordinance complications are settled one way or the other before as suminrr a market position. On the whole, however, thero seems to be a bullish fccllnfr on tho tractions among the brok ers' oOlces closest to the management of tho company. For the first tlmo since tho minimum limit In Philadelphia Company common was reduced tot 30, n, sale of the Btock was effected. This la a decline of 3 points since tho loot previous transaction. On the other hand, Dalitwln Locomotive pre ferred roso to 04, or four points) abovo Its minimum. In New York It sold up to '9S. Pennsylvania Salt wns another strong spot, ndvanclng over a point. It la understood thnt the liquidation of n good-sized block of the stock held by the estate of the late president ot tho company has been completed. Tho Comptroller or tho Currency's call for the condition of national hanks as of March 4 was the first call this year. It found tho Philadelphia Institutions In ano shape.

There have been no tolls to sep arate them. The public is entitled to full, actual value for every dollar It invests. It should pay no tolls, for they add only to price, noth ing to value. Toll locks along the channel by which a security reaches the public should be as offensive to an intelligent Sublic as toll gates on the ighway are to an enlight ened community, Both are unnecessary and unfair to the public, Our source adjoins our outlet; There are no tolls.
