1 FINANCE
LEADING SHARES CAIN WHEN
; THE MARKET OPENSIO-DAY
1 Germany's Reported Acceptance of U.
S. Proposals Favorably Received in
the Fiuancial District—Trading Far
More Active Thau Usual
By .Associated Press,
New oYrk. March 3. —Wall Street—
Over night advices from auroad, par
ticularly Germany's reported accept
ance of this government's main pro
posals were favorably received in the
| financial district to-day, judging from
j early course of the market. Leading
shares made further fractional gains
I and some of the specialties increased
their recent advantage. Trading was
far i(iore active than usual, with indi- I
cations of a moderate investment de- j
I mand. Among the few features of weak-
I ne>s were Harvester Corporation pfd., \
which sold at 96, compared with 114 I
; at its previous sale somo weeks ago.
I Distillers bonds also were heavy.
Prices continued to rise during the |
i morning, but business became lighter f
| after tiie early demand had run its ;
I course, (iains in active stocks like the j
} coalers, Canadian Pacific, Northern Pa
| eifie, United States Steel and Ameri- |
I can Smelting were extended to a point j
I or beyond. Sales of cotton roads were j
i prominent, Southern Railway pfd., and i
; Atlantic Coast bine recovering part of j
their recent declines. Motor shares,
| American Can and more obscure special- j
I ties participated ;n the advance to nn ;
j appreciable extent. General Electric was
! among the few high class industrials to
ehow heaviness. Foreign bond selling
was increasingly extensive on conces
j sions.

/ An Austro-Gerinan submarine, com-
Y posed of six submarines and a numoer
' of torpedo boats, has left the Austrian
naval base of Pola, on the Adriatic,
presumably to strike at the Anglo-

! dispatches state that nine battleships
| of the allied fleet have advanced to the
! narrowest part of the . Dardanelles,
I bombarding Turkish fortifications and
troops and landing a force which scat
tered a Turkish garrison. It Is prob
able, however, that these dispatches re
fer to operations on Monday, before the
i attack on the Dardanelles was inter
rupted by a storm, as was announced by
j the British Admiralty.
t j Italy continues military preparations,

t A German correspondent on the

' the Russiam' have not won a single com
plete success In their efforts to regain
" their lost positions on the crest of the

in the snow, the Russians making des
perate efforts to wapd off the danger of
i an encircling movement.
German opinion, as reflected in the
i Berlin press, 1b divided ui regard to
; the American note to Germany ana
! Great Britain. Some newspapers share
the view of the government that the
note is an indication of the disinterest

commentators, however, suggost that
the note was inspired by regard for
American business interests.
