FINANCIAL NEWS
(For further financial news see page 2. }

The public are taking more interest in the
market at present than for some time past,
and the buying extends TO many of the long
neglected securities. Tho advance Of yester-
day was largely due 20 the fact that il was
believed that a bill for currency reform would
at once be introduced in the House, and while
the discovery that the report was premature
tended TO weaken prices somewhat the ad-
vance of yesterday is but an Indication of
what will come when the message actually
reaches Congress.
The market weakened little this morning,
but none of the efforts TO break il met with
more than fractional success. There were de-
clines, but they were such as might be OK
pected at any time. and this in no way
affected the opn ion of the best ps ople. who
firmly believe that the situation is bullish in
every sense of the word.
The Changers were very firm today but
they found purchasers at every decline and
Chicago Gas met with support at each frac-
tional recession. Sugar was active and higher,
and many of tho traders in this speciality
agree fully with Keene, who claims that it
will sell at l75 before material decline occurs
The GQpld stocks are higher now than they
have been for some time, and both Whisky

fact nearly every stock on the list rules higher
