ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, April S.-There was an un-
mistakable Improvement in the tone of the
market for stocks today over that which
has prevailed of late. The general average
price was higher at the close than at last
nights close. Apparently no apprehension
was caused by the notification of the roads
in the Joint Traffic association by the
Interstate commerce commission calling
for information regarding their contracts,
agreements not reduced to writing and
rates. 1t was rather felt that this would
serve to bring into line the roads which are
not disposed to maintain rates and thus
serve the same purpose In maintaining the
associations rates as the western roads
seek in agreeing to inform the commission
of any discrimination in rates that may
held firm today being favorably affected
by the recovery In the wheat market All
showed gains which reached III in Bur-
lington and l per cent In st. Paul. The
southwestern shares did not partake fully
OF the general Improvement in railroad
properties. Sugar was far in the lead in
the market with third of the total sales
of the day to its credit. The aggregate of
sugar sales numbered 50, 900 shares. These
enormous transactions had no other visi-
Bile motive than the conflicting gossip as
to whether the buyers or sellers did or did
not act for inside interests In their opera
tions. This was steady advance under
this buying, reaching 21a points to 1l47s at
the close. Consolidated gas gained three
points ana Brooklyn Union ~ on proSpec-
tive legislation. Tobacco was tempor-
arily depressed on report of a cut price
for plug tobacco by a competitor. but in
side support was forthcoming and the
stock rallied to a net gain. Leather prefer
red was also steady at the start but later
rose lS with the general improvement.
Quite an active demand for the Gould
shares developed in the last hour of trad
ing and Manhattan gained IA and Western
Union ~. Standard Oil today touched g 95
on reports of an intended increase in the
capitalization. Canadian Pacific showed
an advance of 2N and Pullman of point.
The closing was strong and in nearly all
cases at the highest level of the day. The
bond market developed a fair degree of ac-
tivity but changes were unusually weak
except in a few instances. Government
bonds ruled firm and showed an improving
tendency on purchases of $12 900.

Yesterday a list of counties and

submitted to Banker John Farson for

ing to the law. the university is allowed
to purchase county and school district
bonds. and Mr. Farson. knowing Of the
disappearance of the university's secur-
tiles, expected them to be those listed.
He immediately submitted them to the
university. 1t was explained that the
bonds were given as security on various
notes, that the latter had not been paid.
and that the bonds were, therefore, for
sale. AS Mr.. Armstrong is the absolute
custodian of the university's securities,
1t Is not known how the bonds could
ever have passed from his hands with
out his knowledge or consent.
