New YorK, March 1, Although the Street generally was disposed today to fight against the market and to cause declines In stocks which had been established at higher levels, there Mrs no Indication of weakness In any group except the local traction Issued. Marine stocks were again In good demand, with American Interna tional Corporation advancing to 63 and' Marine preferred was firm, al though It failed to Indicate further absorption by the banking Interests, due perhaps to a halt being necessary In the accumulation In order to finance nnd transfer the large nmount of stock already bought. I'nlted States Steel common was under pressure for a time, declining 'i to 91i, but there was a steady demand for the slock nnd It more than recovered this slight loss In the later trading. Other steel industrials, especially Baldwin Locomotive, Crucible and American Steel Foundries, were in brisk demand, with the last-named stock moving up about 3 points to 83. United Cigar Stores, which Is controlled by the Whalen Interests to a greater extent than ever before, moved up 2',i points, lifting the high record to 131H. The railroad stocks were more prominent in the training, with Read ing advancing more than 2 points to above 84, and gains ot more than 1 point were made In Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and a number of other Issues In the railroad list. The general belief that, u'lless advanced fares are granted by the State Legislature, recelvershliTJ must be ordered for the Interhorough system, made the Issues of t?it company weak all through the early trading.

Small sellers quote 15 cents per pound for future metal. Large sellers ask 15',; to 15 4. The .1. O, Brill Company plant Is stated to be wprking about 90 per cent capacity. Most of the direct govern ment contracts for work outside of the company's regular line have been com pleted, but It Is still working on a good many orders for cars for concerns, such as the JCmergency Fleet Corporation and others, indirectly connected with government undertakings. There are some Inquiries In the market which sng gest Interest being taken by street rail ways In the matter of new equipment, but costs have so far covered much.

LOCAL MINING STOCKS TONOPAir STOCKS Chicago. March 1. Business in corn was on a small scale this morning. The market opened steady to a shade easier, with some selling by an Important com mission house, but rallied on covering by shorts. Offerings were fairly liberal on the hard spots. Traders appeared to believe that everything depended upon the coming action by the food adlnlnletratloni on hog quotations, and there was a dis position to go slow until this matter had been settled. In the meantime the movement continues light, with little prospect for any accumulation for some months.! On the other hand, the demand for the cash article waa slow, and bears pointed to the large surplus in Argen tina. The arrivals here today were ninety-one cars, March opened unchanged at $1.31',, but later sold at $1.31;. May opened at $1.2S8 to $1.25, against $1.26 at the close yesterday and later sold at $1.26',,. July was quoled at J1.21U to $1.21, against $1.21'4, yesterday's last nrlce and later sold at $1.21T4.
