pecially In the Vest. The opening showed ad-
varCes OF from one-qCaTter to one per cent. over
last nights figures. The urgent demand from
both classes of buyers sent prices up rapidly in
the first hour, but the bears, when the buying

The effort to dislodge long stocks and check
buying, however, WAS nos success ful, and was
.soon given up, shorts continuing TO buy, while
among most of the active shares there was o
steady stream OF good purchases, and prices
again moved upward with very uniform at-

in the upward movement and it continued until
