lower, but closed steady. Stocks opened
strong; on the second call, they declined
slightly on the report thai q number OF Chica-
20 banks had suspended, but upon the receipt
OF an associated press dispatch denying the re-
port, confidence was restored; and during the
afternoon there was general and decided ad-
vance In prices. Business, however, WAS only
moderately active at the advance. The pres
ent bull movement is under the immediate
patronage Of some parties who have been
bears for a considerable time past. A large
