the early hours of trading today. Ami
nation of trading somewhat subsidized
after the noon hour on account of the
announcement of an additional ship
ment of s500,000 in gold tomorrow and
on profit taking, and some weak spots
developed in the list which served
enat to check the rising tendency.
Prices of most stocks were nevertheless
quite firmly held until the close and
substantial net gains were the rule as
the result of the days trading.
There was a marked broadening ten
dency to speculation, many usually in
active shares coming into demand and
gaining in price. The fact that the
senate is actually embarked upon the
consideration of the senate bill, and the
belief that the measures taken to ex-
pedite action by that body upon the
bill will prove efficacious. were the i'm
pelling causes of the more cheerful
view of things taken nthe stock ex-
change.
The bond market developed aggres-
sive strength on large transactions,
which were attributed in part to re-
Vival of outside interest. The gilt
edged liens were in fair request at adj
vanced prices. but in the middle grade
and speculative issues the gains were
more pronounced. The aggregate sales
were 81. 362, 900.
