Yesterday made further progress To-Day.
The heavy impOrtations of gold and tue
movement on the part of the national banks
of the CITY to take out new circulation by
depositing government bonds with the
Treasury Department at washington
have relieved the strain in financial circles
and are mainly responsible for the
sharp recovery in both the STOCK
and bond markets. The rise IN the
former to-day was assisted by purchases
for the account of the leading operators,
who saw the opportunity OF making a
bile turn at the expense OF the shorts
The fact that the bears experienced DIM
culties in making prompt deliveries ana
that when the demand TO cover became
urgent the supply Of stocks was found
to be scarce also had a marked
influence. The rest suffered no particular
interruption until after midday, when some
of the smaller bulls realized profits and
prices yielded to S9S. The bears at once
started TO put out fresh line Oh snort
contracts, but after brief spell OF weak
ness the market again met with effective
support and as a rule the best figures OF
the day were attained after delivery hour.
The largest advances were 95s in Chicago

l to ~ per cent between the sales at I'M
der values, so urgent was the demand 70
cover. Shortly before the close another
reaction of 4 to 25S per cent occurred, out
this was succeeded by another recovery OF
X to 2 per cent and speculation left or
strong. There was an improved demand
for bonds to-day, and the tone was strong
throughout. Sales, $4,000 shares. quo
