A Review OF the Day.
NEv YORK, Got. 22.-Tbe stock mark
at for the day shows An advance over
last night price ranges Of from to
". the latter on Oregon and Transc0n-
fineutal. The market has shown in
cressine strength, and also more buying
Il of the general list than has been appar-
eut for several weeks. Room traders,
of whom great majority have been on
the bear side for the past month, have
today been buying more than they have
sold, and for the time at least are on
the bulls side. From the opening the
demand was brisk, and late in the day
buying was on an enormous scale.
Shares in the final dealings were buoy
ant, and round amounts were taken at
advancing figures. The rise in Michi-
gan Central was due principally to the
dshorts'' who, becoming frightened at
the scarcity of stock, sought to cover
and rushed the price upon themselves.
This rise stimulated the demand for
other Vanderbilts, hence there was an
improvement in Lake Shore, New York
Central, and Can. Southern. In the
stock sold at the highess point Of the
day. It is reported Oh good authority
that the squeeze" in Jersey Central and
Willard shares is by no means mt an end,
and that Oregon Transoontinental, es-
peoially, In likely 10 be sharply ad-
vanoed. Wherever the shorts" at
tempt to cover when short In stock,
they are supposed to be- prominent OPP
orators (recently on the bear side) who
