NEW YORK MARKET
Financial.

NEW YORK, N Y, April 20.-Business at the
Stock Exchange was on larger scale to-day and
on well-distrbuted business prices for the leading
issues scored material gains. Commission houses
with foreign connections received more orders
thar for some time an local bull operators were
al disposed to extend the lines. especially in the
grangers The steady rise in British consols, pri-
Vate bles reporting transactions high ia
and the advance in United states fours of 1925 to
1lS5s, explain why investors and others are COM
PEELED TO seek other avenues for the employment
OF their capital.
London, according to good authority, bought
fully 10000 shares OF st. Paul, Louisville and
Nashville and the low priced SouthWeSterns as
well as round amounts of mortgages. Local opera
tors PAID more attention TO the grangers than OF
late, and the bears also covered extensively right
through the list The withdrawal OF 100000
gold from the subtreasury had no effect whatever
as the sterling exchange market is inclined to
droop. 1t was understood at late hour that only
$2OO,OOO OF gold VIII be forwarded tomorrow. The
disposition OF the balance was not positively
known, some asserting that 1t will be forwarded
later in the week. and others that it will turned
into q local city bank
The matter at best excited only languid inter
