FINANCIAL NEWS

There is positively no evidence that the
end Of the bull market is i'm sight. The bull
hsh fever is still strong and the successful
traders are all buying stocks. The public Is
coming into the market more generally than
for some time past and the situation Is broad
ening daily.
Today there was scarcely stock on the
list that did not show material advances.
Sugar was irregular, but it was difficult to
keep it down while the other Industrials were
firm. The Changers were higher than for
some time. Rock Island passed 80 for the
first time in years, and St. Paul passed IS,
the highest point in this rally Chicago Gas
continued its advance and touched g9j9 before
noon. The general opinion is that this Is one
OF the best stocks on the list and that II Will
sell at 10 before 1t makes material decline.
All the Gould stocks were active and higher
today, and Spirits surprised the traders by
selling at IA. Brooklyn Rapid Transit passed
85 and Lead continued its advance. In fact,
it was the best bull market that has been seen
for a long time. The head of very large
commission house says that the business in
stocks is steadily improving as the result of
people getting even on accounts which have
been behind for long time.

TIE LOCAL STOCK MARKET.


c. Franklin Nugent s. Co.. furnish the fol-
lowing facts in regard to the local stock
market:
There has been this week slight increase in
the volume of transactions in local stocks.
This has not been sufficient 10 mark any de-
cided change but is merely tendency. One
of the features worth noticing in connection
with this slight increased demand is that
bank stocks, with but few exceptions, even
at these low figures, fail to attract the inves.
tors. During the past two years people have
seen such dopreciations in their bank stock
holdings that they have lost confidence in this
form of investment In consequence their at
tontion has been turned more 10 the other To-
cal securities, particularly to those Of the
Gas and Electric and Insurance groups. Provi
dence Gas Company has ,his week been in
demand at higher prices than ever before, ex-
copt whom, last year, IL sold with the rights
ON. The Providence Washington and Equitable
Firo a Marine Insurance companies show
very marked advances over the figures Of two
months ago Narragansett Electric Lighting
Co. and Providence Telephone Co. have been
steady, with q few transactions around the
bid price.
