New YORK, October THE Posts financial
article GAO pm. edition) says: At the Stock
Exchange prices are all higher than yesterday
those for the leading stocks having been ad
vanced on the purchases to cover short sales
these having in turn been induced by the eXpec
tation that the Treasury will tomorrow or next
week let loose eight to ten millions Of dollars liz
one way or another. In the first hour, when
| it was found that Mr.. Window was not here
but later reports became plentiful that he will
grant relief soon and the covering of short
sales continue with the result of advancing
prices sharply. There has been little buying for
''long account, nor is there likely to be much
| until it is demonstrated that the Treasury can
do something more than grant temporary relief
| or until the railroad war is settled and the bear
ish influences of the large capitalist spectators
| are withdrawn from the market. United States
