STOCKS ACTIVE AND STRONG, BUT IRREGULAR.
The stock market was made active by the "bulp
cliques, who are assiduously using every develop
ment In the progress OF the new loan and rounding
OF the debt to stimulate outside speculation, but
SO far have met with very discOuragn2 success.
The leading stocks were handled by them In I'm
mense blocks to-day with view to exciting public
interest, but the result was further enlargement
of their own burdens. They have put so bold
front on teelr movement that the "shorts" have
been generally frightened into closing their con.
tracts, and the 'beaI' interest is almost nomi-
nal. The situation is so well understood that
the cques 1a to draw the outsiders into
the market. Every operator in the city and
every Spectator throughout the rural districts Is
thoroughly enlightened on this point. Hence the
Indifference shown to the frantic efforts OF the
cques to get up grand "bulP' campaign on the
strength of the refundng OF the 5000 1000 OF the
public debt Last winter, when Mr.. Boutwell, was
getting ready place his i've per cents, the cliqnes,
all loaded up with stocks, intending to sell when the
new loan should be taken. The new loan hung fire
and stocks took q sudden fall just at the
beginning OF summer. Then the Syndicate
were entrusted with the new loan and
the ciques took fresh courage. The first
instalment of the new loan has been placed; Mr..
Boutwell, has called In one hundred millions OF the
fve-twentles and the cllques are ready to sell
whenever the public give them market. Mean
time as they own all the floating stock OF several
railway and other corporations they can mark
prices up to any figure agreeable to their whim.
The principal features to-day were Lake Shore and
Union Pacific, which advanced each 1a4 per cent,
the former to 1923. and the latter 10 344. The rest
of the list averaged an Improvement OF y u per
cent-quIte small one, considering the noise and
commo;,on made over It, wabash, PIttsburg and
Panama were exceptionally heavy the last men,
TONED declining from 70 to 20. Western Union was
weak until late IN the day, when It suddenly ad.
yanced to 62Ek. In the miscellaneous railways
