The New York Kvening Sun's financial review this afternoon is as follows: "Wall street had all sorts of good things in the way of news developments with which to start off the week in n bullish flourish, and nlthough some of them did nol receive official eontirinn tion there were enough left to create no little cheer nnd optimism. Ttusiiress in the stock market opened with a rirt.h, and prices advanced broadly. Tho most potent factor in this was undoubtedly the report that tho President had di rected that his steamship bo gotten rcadr for him nt once.

It was pointed to as highly signifi cant that at the moment when this important queati6n is pending the di rector general had to confer with the labor brotherhoods on the proposition of a revision in the wage scale. There was thus the curious spectacle of tho railroad administration trying 'to beat down steel and iron priced and presum ably cool prices as well when there was a prospect of a further advanco in wages of railroad employes. Naturally, this situation served to keep railroad shares in a state of sup pression in striking contrast to tho movement in industrial stocks, all of which were buoyant with gains of Several points. Northern Pacific, whih pushed through 10Q, was an exception. Steel sold well above 09. Utah wns tho leader in the coppor group, while American International, with some 10 points to its credit, carried the ship ping issues 'higher. Kelly Springfield Tire, National Knafnellng, Wilson Company, Rftrrctt Company and Ameri can Agricultural Chemical were among the more conspicuous specialties. The performance, as a whole, dis played very well the potential strength of tho list and a technical position favorable to n rise such as the news of the day afforded, Prices hnded from the top in the late sessions nnd trading was less nggres lv.'

Erie convertible 4s, series , and Southern Pacific convertible Os were up a point or so, . Save for a stiffening in cttlliAan rates from the 4 per cent level at the closo ot last week to 5 per cent, there, was little change in tho money situation. The trading rate for time funds con tinued at 55 to 6 per cent, JJusiness was quiet, however,-nnd restricted to n few loans for the earnest nates. No statement has been made as to the amount of the forthcoming govern ment Jbond offering, but that it cannot be less than ?0,000,000,000 is jndicafed by the fact that with, the new issue of !(;,00,000,000 treasury certificates of in debtedness, dated April 10, the total of aiii'li certificates io be redeemed from the proceeds of tho loan was brought to some 5,:i00,000,000.

New York, April 7. The cotton market had a firm opening nn general buying, influenced by the optimistic peaco outlook and reports of heaVy sales of spot cotton to Belgium. New contracts started at an advance of 0 to 50 points, while old contracts were ill) points higher to 40 points lower. Iloaluing sales nnd selling from southern sources held further advances in check after the opening, hut the un dertone remained very steady.
