dav its upward movement ON a ire
mendous volume OF business second

lied. Union Pacific issues were ABSORB
ed on rising prices for botn 1orelgh anu

Then evidence of scale buying and con-
spicuous purchases by two powerful
interests resulted in an almost buoyant

ton of securities by the public. There
was pronounced strength in the grang-
ers, Rock Island and crossing Ill by
a handsome fraction, while st. Paul
ruled around 118 and Quincy 123. The
movement in these and other standard
dividend paying stocks had health
full influence elsewhere, where bull
leaders were successful in stimulating
the movement. RumOrS of favorable
developments aided some hitherto neg
lected issues. Minneapolis & ST. Louis

price since the property was recOS-
nized. Tobacco and Sugar displayed
