The stock market is more buoyant than
yesterday, and prices are slightly better.
The few outsiders coming into the market
operate cautiously, declining large ven
lures. Brokers are cautious on the offer of
margins, which checks speculation of out
siders.
Governments continue firm, especially
5-2Os, of which it is said purchases are
being made on foreign account.
Railroad bonds and bank stocks are
more active and quite firm. There were
large transactions in Erie, Michigan
Southern and Rock Island.
Gold advanced from the decline of last
night, opening at 248, afterwards touching
2ss4.
The usual speculative irregularity
wholly accounts for the changes in quota
tons, there being no outside causes to affect
the market.
The money market is without material
change.
There is q good demand for stock specu-
lations but the supply is equal to the de-
msnd. c
Foreign exchange quiet, the late high
rates having checked the transactions.
