NEW YORK, April 2.
The stock market today gave further evidence of Its underlying strength,
nearly all the leading stock nfter midday Joining In vigorous upward move
ments which caused comment on the scant supply around current prloes and
again attracted attention to the fact that absorptive power was so great that
offerings for short account or liquidation by timid long Interests, such as
occurred on Friday and Saturday, have only a temporary Influence on values
and ko only a short way toward meeting an extensive and urgent demand.
This mornlnc the hears had for market factors the advance of Sc In the
rice of wheat, due chiefly to the estimate of decreased condition made in the
Bnow report. For a time in the forenoon and around midday the business was
almost at a standstill, with the Street generally expressing the view that action
toy'Congress must be awaited before the' market could show any definite tone.
The advancing tendency, however, was so pronounced that It required only
a. email degree of activity to start nn upward movement in which violent ad
vances were Included before the day closed. United States Steel common, which
had sagged off to 113, was easily lifted to above 116. Bethlehem Steel "B,"
Which waa 134 at the close on Saturday, advanced to 141, and the voting shares v
moved up to 14S.
AH the minor steel industrials, from American Can to Republic Iron and Steel,
made trains ranging from 1 to more than 3 points, with Mfdvale Steel moving up
from 89 to 62. Reading made a gain of more than 2 points, and the some
amount of advance was reported In Canadian Pacific.
Wabash Pittsburgh 4s continued the most active feature of the bond market,
celling down from 40 to 38H and then rallying to above 39.
INDEPENDENT OILS ARE IN GOOD
DEMAND ON BROAD STREET CURB
NEW YORK, April 2.

good demand, with some making moderate gains. Most attention was .devoted to
Atlantlo Petroleum, which Is a combination of valuable holdings of producing
properties In Oklahoma and Kansas, and those properties were obtained in
consolidation by a transfer by the different owners who took stock In payment.
The shares were traded in at 7 and 8. It was stated by Interests identified
With the company that net profits are running close to 50 per cent per annum.
Central Foundries In the first half of the day moved up from 28 to 31
and the preferred advanced from 47 to 49'4. Aetna Explosives showed a
firmer tone, with trading at 2T4 to Shi. Air Reduction, in which general interest
