New York, Sept 25-Stocks at the open.
ing were inclined to weakness and a frae.
tional recession was noted in the usually
active list on account of a moderate de-
cline in prices in London. The weakness
was short-lived, however, and before II
o'clock the market developed increased
strength. No reasons were assigned for
the buying, which is still attributed to the
easier condition of the money market. the
influx of gold and the improvement in the
business situation. Commission houses
had more TO do than for some time past
and a number of stocks which have been
neglected for months figured In the deal
ings. Confidence was stimulated by the
heavy arrivals of gold to-day, and by re.
ports that further amounts will be for
warded from London next week. A rumoi
of the formation of big bull pool at the
office of prominent Broadway firm with
Washington connections had some influ.
ence in certain quarters In addition tc
the buying for the long account there was
some covering of long outstanding con.
tracts in Manhattan and other specialties
The stock named jumped "a 20 S9M. The
report of close alliance with the Metro
politan Traction was again revived anc
again denied. Bulls on Manhattan gener
ally attributed the rise in the stock to the
improvement in the earnings of the com
pany. 1t was said that the gain, as com
pared with last year, is nearly 81, 600 a day
