The close OF the stock market to-day
gave every indication OF renewed no-
sorption on q large scale By powerful
speculative interest who count on an
additional rise in prices, The buying in
the last hour followed q period pr eS-
IRENE duIlness during which the market
was left Ia Itself The tone OF the trad
ing In The earlier part OF the day
showed that there was considerable
outside element disposed to take profits
or 60 stop losses II they we're the untor-
tunate ones who bought stock at the
top last week. But It was also eyid-
that the pressure Of this liquidation 's4is
not severe and that the offerings II
stock were not Increased at the low
Level of prices. on the contrary there
were sufficient buying orders with COM
mission houses al level below the
market to check the decline. Some Of
the recent elements of weakness We're
also removed. For instance. Munhat-
tan showed recuperatlve power by rls-
Ing two points to the distress of the
bears. There was also sufficient vlgor
in the upward movement Of sugar to
give color TO the rumorB prevalent at
the conclusion of working agreement
with new competitors. The quarterly
statement of Lake Shore was a slgnill-
cant exhibit of the possibilities Of re-
funding, the large decrease In net earn
ings for the quarter being so far Offset
by the decrease in the charges that the
surplus is still above last years level.
The buying of New York Central was
induced by this exhibit and the buoy
ant recovery of Burlington probably
had in view the possibilities for that
property In a retunding OF Its mortgage
Indebtedness. The ready response OF
sterling exchange to any hardening
tendency to the money market gives
assurance OF relief from that quarter Of
any money stringency. The fast In
creaslng supply OF the new government
bonds made available for use as secur-
ity against government deposits with
national banks is also safeguard
against undue depletion by division OF
funds due the United Statestreasury. The
special strength OF the Pacifics was due
to the transference OF speculative pro
fits from othe" stocks, notably st. Paul
and to a conviction of the great bene-
fits to accrue from the agreement to
bitrate the trouble with the Canadian
Pacific. II loanable funds are 10 con-
tinue plentiful It removes about the
only element OF doubt in the general
situation.
There was a yielding tendency In
some Of the standard railroad bonds to-
day, which was possibly reflection OF
the firmer tone in money. Lower priced
speculative bonds, however, showed a
sharp advance. Total sales $3,725.OOO.
Government bonds were unchanged.
