an increase in business and London

ternationally listed issues. The favorable
| report of the st. Paul for the fiscal year
and the action of Manhattan directors on

on speculation and the sentiment was de-
cidedly bullish. A drive was made against
the shorts in Manhattan Tobacco, Sugar
| and, Chicago Gas and an advance of 40
| 22s per cent. resulted The declaration of
the usual dividends by the Western Union
and Sugar increased the disposition on the
| part of bankers to discount commercial pa
| per and reduction in the posted rates of
| Sterling exchange of 1ac to &.82R and
| "a. 1872 stimulated the upward movement.
| The advance induced realizations ON a
| moderately heavy scale and the room
| traders who were talking reaction for
some days, put out small lines of shorts
| in the Grangers and Industrials. This SELL
| ing brought about a decline of A4S per
