NEW YORK, Aug: 15.-Tte market for

upward tendency when the price of some
leading stock was advanced to a level VIII .ch

volume of offerings seemed abe to check
the steady upward tendency Of the market,
and everything was absorbed with eagerness.
ST. Paul took the lead of the market with

@ tlons for the day footed up 67,7o0 shares.

interests and was based primarily on the
fact that the advance in the price hitherto has

probably was that the stock has been more
largely held abroad than other grangers and

mors that the next semi-annual dividend of

market, the other grangers were uniformly

Rapid Transit was also very heavily bought
and number OF other indus.rials notably
Tobacco, some iron and steel companies, New

lean Mating were buoyant and active.
The strength spread from the leaders as
trading progressed and there was a con-
tinually growing list of stocks, most of which
showed gains of 1@2 points, and many Of
them in excess Of that. Sugar and Manhat-
tan were depressed throughout. There was
no particular reason, but it was due to
general conviction that conclusion of peace
will give full scope to the extraordinary fav-
orable conditions of the country embraced
in large crops at profitable prices easy money
conditions and continuing favorable trade
balance.
The multiplying signs of business activity
in all directions strengthen the convictions
Of the countrys general prosperity.
Business in bonds were on a generally
reduced scale and there was a tendency to
"a decline in some of the list, probably due
to diversion Of capital into stocks. Total

Although Liverpool quoted I'D decline In

Slightly niger than 1t closed Saturday, It
was raining in Chicago, and, although It
was dry in the spring wheat territory whsre
harvesting is in progress, the appearance
OF umbrellas and rain coats on the streets
dampened the bearish appetite that was so
pronounced Saturday. The market remained
firm during the greater part of the fore
neon, Notwithstanding indications of an in
crease in receipts for the near future.
Chicago received 95 cars. The MINNEAPOLIS
and Duluth receipts were 314 cars against
1SS on the previous Monday and S45 the
corresponding day of the year before. The

same day last year. The visible supply de-
creased l,357,0OO bu, leaving only 6.S97 coo
bu IN sight, compared with 1925, 600 bu
year ago. The remarkable small total of
the receipts continuing much under those
last year held the market firm, notwithstaId
ing the promise of increased movement.
The most bearish feature in the news re-
ceived was the drop in the cash price in
Minneapolis of from &c for contract a 10c

was officially estimated at 5000, 900 bu above
the average of the last ten years The DAVIS
