THE WEATHER. New Week' Begins With Numerous In dications of General Trade I Improvement. New; York, March 8.' Stocks .. made further decided progress towards high er levels today on fairly large volume of business. The new Week began with numerous indications of general trade improvement, particularly in the steel and allied industries. Advices from' the Middle Wes pointed to great er activity at leading manufacturing centers and' the United States Steel Corporation was reported, to have in creased its . output to. 75 per cent of capacity. United States Steel with several of the .leading railroad issues and Amal gamated Copper led the movement. Realizing for profits caused some mi nor recessions Jn the later dealings but net gains of 1 to 2 was the rule. Specific reasons accompanied the rise of certain stocks, notably Canadian Pa cific, which was strong in London, and New Haven, whieh showed a pronounc ed decrease in Its deficit for January. Stocks and bonds of the Gould group railroads were active-'at higher prices, presumably in anticipation of Federal .developments at tomorrow's meeting of the Missouri Pacific shareholders. Foreign exchange was at. a stand stillbut a fair amount of business was reported in the new German war notes. Grain markets were strong on the large export demand. Total sales, of stocks for the day were ; 266,800 shares. Bonds strong, despite, further extensive selling for foreign interests. Total sales, par value, $2,515,000. . Panama coupons 3s advanced 3-4 per cent on call. United States Department of Agricul ture Weather Bnreau. 1 ' -March 9,--1915.
