SToCKs.-There was decidedly better
feeling In stock circles to-day. AT
the start prices ran of \ 10 ~ per cent,
in sympathy with break in London, but
II soon became evident that the decline was
due TO manipulation from this side. and q
rally promptly ensued. There was good
buying Of stocks generally, and
the Vander6ilts were credited
with liberal purchases OF their
specislties. After the market hsd enjoyed
substantial advance the bears began 10
hammer the list and reaction Of i 10
per cent. ensued, but the decline had the
effect OF checking trading. On the other
hand, as soon as the market started on the
up track again, speculation became lively
and after delivery hour was characterized

fuence. as also the statements that the
financial condition OF the National Cordage
Company is much better than had been
supposed week or so ago. The market
closed strong with an advancing tendency.
