Tho buying power of tho market was clearly demonstrated by tho manner in which all these offerings of stocks were continually absorbed, without permitting nnv net decline of material amount from yesterday's mage, and many stocks in which thcio was concentrated buying made gains langlng from 1 to moro than 3 points, while this liquidation was in progress. During tho morning the Street was full of boar points about Midvalc Steel, with the traders waiting for the dividend meeting during, the Ilrst lin.lt of the day, but that stock llrst made an advance of to 4B and, after tho dividend i eduction wns announced, simply lost its gain. I'nltcd States Steel dragged for a time In tho Ilrst. half of tho day, selling down to 9a"!4, hut somo largo buying aiders appeared in the lato afternoon nml a rally st irted and carried the price up t" par. There was a flood of offerings at thai level which checks tho up ward movement for a time mid n little leactinn occurred from tho highest price of the dn. Many specialties reflected persistent accumulation for dcllnlte reasons. Tlin upward movement In Industrial Alcohol made fin ther progress In the forenoon, when that stock Fold at 15114, but this gain was also wiped out by a reaction In tho lato trading. The marine stocks were In demand at frequoht intervals, with Atlantic, (Julf and West Indies moving up nunc than 3 points to 22 and Marine pieferred advuncInC to 11.1. The petroleum, stocks became strong in the last half of tho day, when both Teoc Company and Mexican Petroleum showed gains of more than 3 points. One of the most prominent features of the trading in tho bond maiUet was the heavy buying of Interborough-Mctropolltan 4s, whclh started at .13 and advanced to 3.'., a gain of about 7 points from tho low level of a few days ago.

The Xew Yolk Evening Sun's financial review for to day follows: Todaj's &toi.k market told the same story of quiet firmness and clique opera tions in particular groups and individual "pcclaltlcs as it has been telling for a week past. The session was in virtually exery respect a rcpltion of that of Tuesday. Industrious professional sue ml take gae sizable olume to trading. The Heel aharcs were In excellent de mand from tbe outset, Unlteu tjiniea Steel running up to close to par. Mid ale was under s-ome pressure In antici pation of the cut in the dividend from a J $C anual basis to $1. This reduction was expected because of the tenor of the remarks or tlie prcsiueni in u annual report Issued last Monday with respect to tho business outlook In the Industry as long as tne excess irai tax must be carried. The best that could be looked for, be said, was a healthy trade movement without ma terial expansion In new enterprises. The equipment stocks were also bid up und 'the coppers "Were quite strong throughout.

Drown Brothers Certificates sold at 73'i. an advance of 11 on tho day, , in-otlno hila While inquiries anu v"""y increased, the Iron Age states that the second week of new Iron and steel prices has brought little broadening of de mand Most of tho business coming out now Is that which had been held bad: awaiting the reductions. Mill operations In tbe last week of March showed fur thelr curtailment In numerous cases, and already forecasted the month as a whole made an unfavorable comparison with February. In that journal's opinion, the attitude of the railroad administration In re fusing to accept the Industrial hoard s prices on steel, or bound by those to be fixed on coat anu "'.... erlously threatens Tho entire stabilizing program. It Is figured that the roads buy 2Q per cent of the country s steel production. This situation at Washing ton Is not regarded as conductive to i...ii,.i,i.,,,i Initiative In buying.

The May option had all the symptoms of being In a congested position and tho trade, too, continued to get Into later months. Oats also mado good gains on buying by commission houses and Investors and covering by Bhorts. The rise In corn or.,i inrU of offerings made It eaBy to advance values. There were reports that a cargo' of oats had been worked for Sweden. Maximum gains were scored In provi sions en buying induced by the stability of grain and harvest. The lightness of offerings necessarily restricted business.

In the face of the shutting down of tho Manchester mills for lack of demand Liverpool prices came higher than due, accompanied by sales of 4000 bales, all American. In addition Llvemo&l houses were such heavy and consistent buyers here on and after the call, that some believed It had possible connection with the early peace developments, which have not as yet become apparent on this side. Old style contracts had a more active apsnlng than yesterday, being 1 to 10 points higher, while new crops were 15 to 24 points higher. The early advance carried the active new style months about 22 to 31 bolnts above last night's closing figures, with May selling at 25.55c or a new high record, ' The adanco met scattered realizing, however, and . fluctuations during the middle of tho morning were somewhat" Ii regular.
