NEW YORK. November 2o.-The week
opened with a quiet condition OF affairs
AZ the Stock Exchange. or the bond de-
partment Il can be said that the great
plethora OF funds Is leading TO 8 re-
awakening of interest on the part OF
financial institutions and individual capt.
talists, who are dissatisfied with the small
returns afforded by the loan market Not
only are the leading issues dealt In at
the Stock Exchange improving in price.
but bonds which are dealt in outside OF
the Exchange proper are also In better
request The fact that private bankers
are bringing out new loans attests the
better tone for investments.
The dealings I'm stocks, however, are
confined almost to the professionals. Tne
rally which set in after the publication
OF the bank return on Saturday made
further progress this morning. and was
assisted by moderate purchases for Lon
don account. The bulls made EFFORTS 10
force a covering movement, and were par
TALLY successful. Prices advanced hgi%
