NEW YORK, y. y, Jan. 24.-The stock mark ct
displayed more life and animation to-day and the
temper Of speculation was decidedly more bullish
than OF late The improvement was the result of
the easier condition of The local money market the
fact that no gold was taken for shipment TO
Europe tomorrow and the more pacific political
outlook. Quotations from London for American
securities came higher and buying orders were re-
ceived from that center all of which contribute
to the rise here. There were free purchases 10
cover short contracts and also liberal sprinklng
OF buying orders for the long account.
In the early trading efforts were made TO break
tobacco and other speCiales, but while the former
yielded u point IL subsequently advanced twice as
much. The rise IN the remainder of the list was
equal to 1903 per cent, and although the dealings
were not large in the aggregate they were better
distributed than of late THE favorable Statement
of the St. Paul for the third week of January
helped all the granger stocks, and the anthracite
coalers were strengthened by the efforts making
by the presidents secure better rates for coal.
