The stock market continues TO give evidence
of strength; in fact at no time recently has the
general market exhibited more strength than
to-day. The large 'bears" have not been cover

their lines as prices advanced, and yet the mar

i've list closed as low as yesterday. First prices
this morning were generally a small fraction
higher, and the market was unusually steady,
and the advance for the most active shares on
the list kept up throughout the forenoon.
In the early afternoon the market became
dull and prices declined fraction for most
stocks, but the upward movement started again
at the beginning OF the last hour, which was
well maintained until the close of the board.
The market closed strong, and generally very
close to or at the highest prices of the day.
Lackawana led in the amount OF business done,
as well as in the advanced prices recorded. The
transactions in that stock amounted to $4,000
shares, or over 80 per cent of the total business
of the day. while the price gained q per cent.

is evident that a feeling of confidence is
extending and it is not believed the bears
can possibly cover their line Of shorts without
making heavy losses The irvestmeht demand
for stocks and bonds is large and is encouraged
by the ease in the money market. Old and con
servative Wall street operators say the demand
cannot be filed at present prices. The feeling
throughout the country is so strong against con-
gressional legislation that faith in the power
of the bears" to carry on a successful attack
upon corporations is waning.

respond to the recent furry in the Baltimore
