NEW YORK, y. y, Jan. 27.-The week opened
with strong and higher market for stocks The
rise in prices at the opening the result of the
execution OF buying orders for both home and
foreign account. London paid considerable atten-
ton 10 ST. Paul, Louisville and Nashville and
Reading stocks and Junior mortgages. The COM
paratively easy condition OF the money market,
the improved outlook Tor an early solution OF the
Venezuelan boundary question indicated by the
sneech of Mr. Chamberlain on Saturday and the
reduction in the posted of sterling eXcbang
all contributed TO the strength of the market.
London according TO good Judges, bought at

statements submitted to-day the st. Paul report
without question the best. For December the
road reported an increase OF S335.615 and for the
six months ended December 81 an increase of
50 ,56S.533. The favorable railway started
up fresh demand for the railways, and even
sugar and tobacco rallied in sympathy with the
buying movement The market closed firm in
tore. Net changes show advances of IA t0l3s per
cent, 81. Paul leading. The total sales were 12o,
635 shares.
