Stocks - Tneie was a decidedly i'm
proved feeling Ou the Stock Exchange and
in financial circles generally this morning,
owing chiefly 10 the Unexpectedly heavy
engagements Of gold in London aud on the
Continent for shipment 10 this side.
These, together with the scarcity OF
stocks for delivery purposes, the
lower rates FOR money on call and the
heavy exports OF grain, induced purchases
of stocks for both the long and short &C
counts The bears found 1t difficult TO
cover and the result was sharp advance.
