OutsIUe of tho purclmsc of somo stocks on buying orders accumulated over Sunday In commlsslon-houso circles, tradlnir In the stock market all through tho day was nlmost wholly of n professional chnracter. Tho commlsslon-houso buying caused a display of strength for n tlmo during the forenoon, which was mado moro pronounced by some urgent covering of shorts put out by the bear elements nt tho low levels reached on Saturday. While this buying was In progress galni wero made nil through the list ranging from 1 to 6 points, with specialties like Ohio Cities Gas nnd DrlRgs Seabury making tho greatest advances. Drlggs-Seabury advanced 11 points to 86, with tho buying Induced by tho official statement of tho Government contract for Lewis machlno guns. United States Steel common moved up li, telling above 112, and Marine preferred ndvanced 2i to 87. These market leaders' wero followed on the upturn by numerous other Issues, but It was not long before tho tone became wavering, and before noon business fell off to an unusually small volume. Later In tho day the bear element recovered Its courage and renewed the nttacks which had unsettled prices at tho end of last week. This selling was directed for a time ngalnst Industrial Alcohol, which sold down from 121 to 116. United States Steel common, on n reaction In the last half of the day, lost virtually' all Its early advance, nnd recessions of 1 to 2 points were noted In nearly all tho other Issues which had shared In the opening gains. The tone of the market, however, was far better than it was on the resumption of business In the two hours of trading on Saturday. Fears that taxation would bo so oppressive as to destroy the earning powers of many largo Industrials had entirely disappeared, and there was general confidence that whatever steps may bo taken by the Government they will add to out general Industrial prosperity Instead of destroying It. The tone of tho bond market was heavy, with a number of Important Interests offering securities, apparently for tho purpose of preparing themselves for a Government bond Issue. Anglo-French Bs wero traded In at 94 V4 to 94', i, and the-- French Government Bs ranged from 99H to 99i. CURB MARKET SHOWS IMPROVEMENT, WITH SOME STOCKS MAKING GAINS NEW TORK, April 9. For a time during the day the Curb market showed modcrato Imptove ment, with somo stocks, including Submarine and tho munition shares, moving up on a disposition to buy back stocks sold at the end of last week. Sub marine rose from 21 to 22, and fractional advances were mado In "Aetna Explosives nnd Maxim Munitions. North American Pulp continued heavy, sell ing down from GU to the new low record of B. Independent oil stocks wero irregular, with Merrltt Oil attracting most attention, advancing 1U to 24 54. Elk Basin declared the regular quarterly dividend of 2V4 per cent, payable May 1. The stock was traded In ut 11U and 11. Mining stocks were generally lower, Magma dropping from 49 to 48 and Big Ledge sold down from 1 to 3. There was good trading In Mllford at 93 and 94 cents.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET NEW "YORK. April 9. The market foi coffee futures opened strong and excited to day at advances of 32 to 51 points. There was a rush of shorts to cover and a broad ening pf outside Investment demand, brought about by the political situation In Brazil. Sales on the call amounted to 67, 750 bags. There were further slight' advances In the coffee rharket right after the call, but a reaction followed at the end of the first hour, and sentiment around the ring was very nervous and unsettled, with values declining 6 to 8 points from the high level of the morning.

At no tlmo during tho whole session was there any great amount of activity or Interest shown in any stock. While the feel ing throughout the Street was cheerful and the conditions at the present time were favorably commented 0.1, yet It was tho gen eral belief that nothing much would be done until the country settles down to the new conditions brought about by the notual en trance Into the world war. Those with funds which are not actively employed nt the moment seemed to wont to hold fast to them for use In taking some of tho Government loan which will be floated.

From the comment heard In tho Street, the conclusion was drawn that there would be no difficulty experienced In floating a Government loan, no' matter whether large or small, and that the re sponse In this city, particularly, would bo good. ,.

The drop followed new high records early in the session, when Saturday's bullish Government crop report continued the Influence. Restrictions have been placed on the cir culation of the private crop reports, but unfavorable advices continued to come to hand. Further sharp gains occurred In the spot article. Millers were reported to be purchasing futures freely in the Northwest. Many of tho larger commission houses discouraged business In options other than hedging oper ations.

He said, however, that estimating carefully from present ap pearances In the territory that he had cov ered, he believed the total abandonment would be 15 per cent. B. W. Snow said that no one could safely generalize on tho wheat crop of Kans-as. Tho vislblo supply in the United States de creased 1,844,000 bushels to 37,474,000 bushels.
