s'oyasioned no little surprise to the general

tIau, the parity of our closing yesterday
soT,ralv led to the belief that consider
nbIe depression would characterize deal

me hears endeavored to use the foreign
news TO their advantage and promptly
attaclled the list at the opening, but they
met with very poor success, and AFTER
fractional concessions, the. market started
nn in lively fashion. 1t was evident
nat the powers behind the market were
sbove the average in influence. The
Strength of the Vanderbilt group also had
reassurfng effect, especially as sharp
-isa in New York Central was accom-
nanied by reports that plans are on foot
N refund the high Understanding bonds
If the company on a lower basis, as has
irst been done in the case of Lake Shore.
The advance in prices was equal to "a
ne per cent. and this, too, despite the
fact that foreign sales of stocks in this
market were attempted at from $1,000 to
1900 shares. The Vanderbilts, Manhat-
fan General Electric and the Industrials
we're the leaders in the upward movement.
There was considerable covering of short
contracts and some buying for the long
account. but the volume of business was
smaller than of late. In the afternoon
there was a change in the temper of spec
uIatlon on advices from London that the
Continental markets closed depressed on
account of the uneasy feeling prevailing
IN reference to the situation in the Lee
want. The last hour stocks reacted Il
10 u per cent. The losses were great
est in Manhattan, Omaha, Louisville and
Nashville, New York Central and the
Changers. Speculation closed rather weak
in tone Net changes show advances of
L to q. New York Central and Man
haitian leading. In the specialties Pull
man declined .2ia while Lake Shore adj
vanced IA to 1924, The total transact
tons were 157,737 shares. Railway and
miscellaneous bonds were generally
weaker on reactions. The total sales
we're Sl,13l000.
