A cancatenaHou Of causes was re-
sponslble for the awakening at the stock
market to-day from the lethargy that
has held II for nearly Two months. The
bears had their innings early In the day,
assisted by lower rate OF prices for
Americans from London. Later North
west and Its subsidiary road, Omaha,
led a rally. and from them the move
ment broadened and strengthened all
through the railroad list. Strength was
also radiated from group uf bltumin-
GUS coal roads, including Norfolk q
Western preferred, Chicago. Indianap-
oNs & Louisville preferred, Baltimore
& Ohio and Wheeling & Lake Erie pre-
ferred. The movement In these stocks
served TO make them rather cnnsplcu-
Gus, the quietude OF other soft coal
stocks, which have been an important
place In the pending plans for amalga-
nation OF the soft coal interests. The
activity and strength In Sugar was also
n dominating influence in the market,
accompanied though II was BY all sorts
OF sensational rumOrs, and very OBJ
Iously manipulated to squeeze the
shorts. Peace Fumers were renewed In
the later dealings. and the announce
ment Of the successful landing OF the
United States forces In Porto Rico also
added to the buoyGnt tendency OF the
trading. But the most potent element
In the situation was the growing GER
tainty that an abundance OF money

change fell NC additional In the actual
