The feature of the stock market to-day was the
strength and activity in the Vanderbilt shares.
From the opening the demand was brisk and late
in the day the buying was on an enormous scale.
The shares in tho final dealings were buoyant and
round lots were taken at advancing figures, The
rise in prices ranged from 2} to S2s per cent, the
latter in Michigan Central, which rose from sos
to SSN. New York Central and Canada Pacific
sold up 2Ss each to ICY and 526 respectively and
Lake Shore 25A to 0713. The sharp rise in Mlchi-
gan Central was due principally to the shorts,who,
becoming frightened at the scarcity of the stock,
sought to cover and rushed the price up on them
selves. The rise in Michigan Central naturally
stimulated the demand for the other Nanderbilts,
thus accounting for the Improvement in Lake
Shore, New York Central, and Canada southern.
The general market opened irregular but ad-
vanced. Oregon Iranscuntnental sold up "a to

good authority that the squeeze in Jersey Central
and the Willard shares is by no means at an end,
and Oregon Transcontinental especially is likely
| to be sharply advanced whenever the shorts at
tempt to cover. Among the shorts Ill tho stock
