STocKs-The stock market to-day showed
materially better feeling. both in the
street and outside, and there was most
gratifying confidence displayed that not
only is the worst now over, but the inn
provement would be quick and sharp. The
action of the Clearing House in coming to
the relief of the banks in difficulty was the
means OF restoring the confidence OF many,
while the improvement in the situation
abroad was also powerful factor TO that
end. The liquidation in the Wizards is
now believed TO have marked the culmina-
ton of the efforts to force complete liqui-
dation in the street, as those stocks had re-
sisted the force applied for much longer
time than any other group of stocks on the
list. The unfavorable factors to-day were
the continued sales under the rule, both for
the account of the suspended firm of
Decker, Howell IL Co., and for the
accounts of two other brokers whose
suspension was announced during the day.
They were, however, regarded as Of slight
importance on the street and created little
disturbance in the market. The foreigners
were heavy buyers all day long. The loan
ing rates for stocks have been very high.

for use over the day. The buying was
throughout of the most confident character
and reflected an easier feeling. both in
money and as to the general situation. The
report that Mr.. Gould had acquired con-
troll of the Union Pacific again was used
for all it was worth. The stock showed no
response TO the story'and to-day was only
fairly active and moved ever compare
lively narrow range. There were re-
ports that the North American
Company was in trouble, and
while the officers announced that
they had tided over their engagements, it
failed TO advance with the remainder of the
list and was especially sluggish in compar-
ison with the Northern Pacifics. The gen.
eral list was very feverish, as was TO be ex-
pected under the circumstances, but there
was an almost continuous advance in prices
from the opening 10 the close. The mar
ket became much settled in the
afternoon and comparative dullness
was seen at times in the list. The
close was active and very strong, at about
the highest prices of the day. The final
advances are almost invariably for mate
rial amounts. Northern Pacific preferred
