There were over 233,OOO shares Of stock
sold on the exchange to-day, which is the
largest aggregate for many weeks past.
The dealings covered wide range of
properties. many usually inactive stocks
being quite largely dealt In. aud NUM-
Der of the low priced shares being es-
pecIally notable for awakened activity.
This was particularly true of the Van
derbllt group. which was remarkable for
heavy buying and strength. The ten-
dency OF the market was. in fact, strong
throughout. the exceptions being stocks
which were subject 20 some special innu-
eace. Traders have been expecting for
some tlme that the assembling OF the exc

operate, to some extent, as u bear Influ-

stocks In anticipation Of fall In prices.

which the buying NOV sment passed from

given rise to the belief among some deal

these stocks has come into the market
FOR active participation again.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 4, 1897.
AS predicted by us, Railroad
Earnings have for some time
shown steady increases. Each
week brings larger gains.
1t is we'll to bear in mind that
from August l. 1896, until the
presidential election business
grew more and more demoralised.
and Railroad Earnings fell off
gradually.
To-day the financial atmosphere
is singularly free from clouds.
Wheat exports for the week are
almost without parallel. Tonnage
is enormous; the roads are
pressed to handle their business.
Heavy orders for new cars are be-
ing placed.
Earnings, gross and net, pro-
mise to surpass the most sanguine
expectations.
London bought stocks to-day.
In the face OF increased earnings
and probable increased dividends for
elgn spectators will find II impossi.
bic to resist the temptation to buy
American securities.
To overtrade Is dangerous. Our cur
rency question is not settled but for
manifold reasons prosperity has come
TO stay, and good securities will even
tually sell higher.
