upward movement commenced. London
cables before opening showed an easier
tone. but the stock market opened active
and strong, seemingly to act independent
of foreign quotations. Traders ana
clioues were buying Chicago bought
Changers, Boston Union Pacific and New
England, Philadelphia, Reading and The
Wizards. The selling was mainly by
traders taking profits. Later on London
took hand in it and sold It. Paul,
Union Pacific, and Reading and others,
but the advances were well held Now,
this comprises about all that can be said
regarding the dealings. There was no
effort made 10 fight the advance. There
is little or no short interest in any stock
