Dealings IN stocks to-day were conducted on a
comparatively large and well-distributed volume
OF business. with good demand from commits
sion houses and considerable strength In prices
dcspite vigorous selling by the professional ele-
ment for profits. London selling was also lively.
Efforts to run the market down were unsuccess-
full as prices exhibited fair degree Of steadiness
and strength based upon an outside demand
which was especially noteworthy in the bond de-
par.ment Sales of railroad bonds amounted In
par value to above 81 100000, the transactions
in Northern Pacific issues again being heavy and

that a large block has been taken by foregh
syndicate, which, however, is not allied TO the re-

current about possible agreement between
