MONEY MARK

WEDNESDAY, Feb. Sep. VI.
The stock market tends upward with considers-
bic activity among operators. This morning the
transactions were unusually large, generally at bet
Ter prices. Buyers appear 10 be gaining strength
daily, and the commission houses arc doing more
business. We attribute this entirely To the abun-
dance OF money. No one appears 10 think of value
in any Of the speculative securities 50 largely operat
ed In but takes hold with the firm conviction that
higher prices must rule. In first class stocks these
an,icipations WILL without doubt, be realized, and
the most productive way to employ capital at pre-.
cent is TO place il m good State stocks first class
railroad bonds or in the stocks of the few solvent
railroad companies now on the market. It is the
easiest thing in the world TO find out what securities
are really good and which are bad. Missouri State
skies il one Of the best investments Of the day.
and they range six and eight per cent below State
stocks, which are not in fact, worth much. First
and second mortgage bonds Of Erie, Hudson River,
Galena and Chicago, Rock Island, Michigan Central,
New York Central are all good, and worth much
more, considering the present and probable future
