THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS

Stock market values continue to move under
the influence Of substantial support. While the
current volume OF business shows material
reduction from the heavy average OF election
week, there is appreciate decrease In the
amount Of stock held by new important market
interests. and no indication beyond bear efforts
that prices will suffer noteworthy declines pend
ing the resumption Of active bull speculation.
In yesterdays market values were strong
throughout. Commission house buying not
pronounced but, on the other hand there was
little IL any commission house selling. the chief
supply Of offerings coming from professional
traders. and holders. who. by selling. could
realize handsome profit.
An interesting feature Of the present market
Is the unwngness OF genuine and wellpro-
tected speculative holders to sell their securi-
ties at the current level Of prices. It is said in
some quarters that the big men" are out of
stocks, that the public holds the floating supply
and that as a consequence. the market Is top
heavy. and should decline. Presidents cannot
he successfully applied to this market. for con-
dtions are so favorable yet different from
past periods Of hull speculation. that the failure
of prices to topple is more logical than
strange The public that holds stocks Is not
the weakly margined public OF few years ago.
The actual or investment buying, in the last few
weeks has taken a large amount Of stock out of
the street, and while some weak accounts
doubtless exist. it seems safe to believe that
the greater part Of the holdings sold by the
big men" has been taken BY men equally as
big"
The foreign markets were easier yesterday
and showed little trace Of Wednesdays dis

erately heavy. and in great part consisted of

day That the Bank Of England did not share
In the apprehension shown by London stock
market traders Wednesday was shown in the
failure OF the directors to make any change In
the discount rate at yesterdays meeting. Re-
actions which took place in the general list
were small. while net gains were substantial,

railway stocks. A rise # per cent in Central
