wire US; We are able to report a very
liberal speculation in our market here
today, with almost universal advances
throughout the entire list London prices
came at large advances, and purchases
Tor mat market have been on more eX-
tenSlVe scale than in some while, IS, 900 to
4lOO0 shares being taken for their ac-
count. 1t is true the commission houses
nave had more to do the past few days
than Tor long while, and we receive
constant inquiries as to what stocks Of
fer opportunities for quick returns show
ing display of interest. The market
has moved along towards better prices
Tor the most part of the day. This after
noon there has been some realizing and
indeed, a great many profits have been
taken: The trading in railroad shares has
been brisk, but the industrials have also
figured very largely in the operations of
the day. Sugar, American Tobacco.
Smelter, Steel q Wire and National Steer
nave also been quite extensively traded
We hear nothing but the best reports as
to the prospects for all this group of
stocks. The market looks very well to US
tonight, and we shall not be surprised to
see a continuation of the better state of
affairs here for some time, and if it were
not for the condition of the money market
we should be rather inclined to urge pur-
chaSeS of stock than otherwise AS it is
are handsome profits, to take them and
to play the market in limited rather
than extensive way until we can see
more clearly what the future promises -

Mimi: The pools in Rock Island, Louis
vile & Nashville, AtchisOn preferred and
Southern Pacific have been compelled to
take a good deal of stock today, but re-
main confidently bullish. Tobacco and
Sugar are still the strongest and most
active features, but business is well dis
tributed throughout the list and as a
mission house buying. The market is
very strong. We have noted continued
buying in the industrials, particularly
Sugar and Tobacco. They and the trac-
lions group will lead the market Lon
