Two hundred and fourteen thousand shares
OF listed stocks and 1880 shares Of unlisted
STOCKS were the sales recorded at the stock ex-
change IN half days business to-day. The
pare announcement Of such figures makes Wall
street, and especially the brokers, jubilant.
Ihey confidently predict an early return TO the
condilions OF ten years ago, when sales OF half
a nlillon shares daily were the usual average.
commission houses report a much greater in
terest In speculation, and much more numerous
orders from outsiders which would indicate
continuance OF the steady confidence IN an i'm
proved market which has been growing OF late.
The increase In BANK reserves improves the mon
etary situation, and the bulls were decidedly in
the ascent to-day. There are rumors that they
contemplate strong aggressive movement. The
London market has for several days past shown
renewed interest in American securities, and
this morning London prices came higher, &C
companied by liberal buying orders in all the
London favorItes, which had the effect of
opening this market materially higher For
eigners were especially prominent in st. Paul,
Erie, ana some others and those stocks were
the leaders Of the market all the way out There
were undoubtedly heavy realizations at the high
hgures of the opening, to which was added
some hammering by professional bears, who
sold the stocks whenever they appeared slug
gish The drive had the effect of sagging
prices OF for a few minutes but the unusual
demand soon changed the course OF prices, and
from that time, except in a few special stocks
there was no weakness shown in the market
Chicago Gas was specially heavy in the early
dealings. owing TO the influence OF new litiga-
ton, but it recovered later although it failed to
reach the opening price. Lackawanna was af-
terward the chief point of attraction, and with
Chicago Gas, il is one of the few shares show
ing net loss for the day. Changers were again
very prominent in the upward movement, and
81 Paul stocks in particular, and dealings in
them reached high figures. There is talk OF a
resumption of dividends upon the common
stock, but the officers of the company give little
encouragement to the idea. The upward move
ment continued until the close, with slight reac-
tons from time TO time, but the close was active
and strong at about the best prices reached
With few exceptions the entire active list is
