The activity in Governments continues, and buyers
appeared late in the day for all that was offered a.
an advance upon the exsrcms low prices. The con"
versions of 7Cs large enough TO keep the Depart
men. ct Washington fully employed.
The ease in money and the facility with which
large blocks Of stocks can be carried is attractng~
Wallst more outside support than has been noticed
in some time. Under free sales TO realize profits In
the leading shares prices are for the moment itue
lower and tho parties selling are waiting for whas
they think should be natural reaction by the mar
kot upon receiving their loads This reaction seems
slow in coming, and viii be triGing. il indeed my
lower prices made. The chief element in the ad'
vance Is not any single namc combination Of
names but is to DO found in the growing abundanca
of capital for which there Is absolutely no use out
sdo tho arena Of stock specIat!ons The great mass
of railway shares have long since passed real values
and are now sustained by speculation and easy
money. As the spirit OF speculation and the supply
Of money arc alike on the increase, and promise 70
DO further stimulated by the financial vagarics OF
Congress- 1t is evident that, high as prices soeu
they are in fair way to be further advanced finally
saddling the last buyer" with severe losses.

errors have crept into the published returns OF the

| the wide discrepancies in tie official returns:
