DAVIS trading found prices generally
above ,2s. nights close. The outside
interest In the market shows large in
crease. and commission houses report
4 great accession for orders of a specu-
le.ive character following the solid in
vesfment buying that had been going on
for some time. and which to-day's de-
velopments indicate is still going on.
The buying was almost wholly result
Of the confidence in the general out
look for business. There was little
news accompanying the upward move
ment of prices and therefore little 10
record beyond the mere changes in
prices Good buying continued in
Northwest. but the price of the stock
moved quite narrowly, affecting the
price Of other stocks in sympathy about
as much as itself. The Changers were
all in keen demand and showed a sub
stantia gain on the day. The same
was true OF all western and southwest
ern railroad properties. where the
crops promise to be abundant and bust
ness Improvement all through those
sections. Sugar and Chicago Gas were
both under pressure at different times
during the day and held back the mar
ket. When these two stocks came into
harmony with the market and moved
upward the highest prices of the day
were recorded for many stocks. The
strength in the coalers developed af-
Ter noon and the movement in the
group became strong and aggressive
and the dealings quite animated. The
rate at which prices rose was an indi-
cation that there is not a large quaint
ity Of these stocks, except Reading,
floating in the market. Sharp adj
vanceS in some Of the high priced in
vestment stocks were a feature, New
York. Lackawanna and Western jump
ing go on the sale Of one hundred
shares. The volume of dealings was
large but Sugar, st. Paul, Chicago Gas,
Burlington. Reading and Tobacco alb
sorbed half the total sales. st. Paul at
SOl4 touched the highest price since
the panic Of 1898. The announcement
of an additional shipment of S65OOOO
in gold by tO-morrOw's steamer only az
fected the market for a brief time. The
gains in the coalers extended to 21a for
