Yesterdays New York stock market was
IN every way what might have been eX-
pected as the ending Of Z week in which
there had been immense buying OF Ogk ks
bv the leaders of the market and ire
fnendous advances Of prices. From the
FIRST quotations marked up there was hot
competition 10 buy, and consequent
rapid upward movement in prices in many
stocks. During the entire day the sfnti-
rncnt Of the professionals and OF the pub
dc was unchanged. and except for the tax
ing OF profits there was little selling. The
bank statement, although not entirely IA
Vorable, was considered sufficiently good
and had little effect on the buying demand.
The result OF this excellent Saturday, COM
ing at the end of week in which prices
have all advanced steadily. seems lik ly
TO De- a great bull Monday, with a clamor
Of public buying and an even more rapid
advance Of prices. After that is doubt
fuL The public is again enthusiastic and
eager, and as it did two months ago. may
force a continually higher level. Con1i-
tons generally seem 10 warrant the belief
IN higher prices. II would seem, however,
that caution should be exercised in buy
ing on any further spurt. for fear Of the
professionals with their manipulation
- no may at any time begin to work for a
reaction. There is one element Of the
situation in favor OF the bulls here. The
most powerful leaders OF the market. who
do more than all the other professionals
combined. have been the men who have
done the heaviest buying during the past
week Up 10 the close yesterday Mr.
Keene was buying. and it was chronic!ed
more than once during the day that Mr..
Flower WAS taking Peoples Gas and others
of his favortes, which means. in other
words, that ;he public has hardly begun
to take its load Of stocks yet, and that
prices should be kept up for their benefit
II for no other reason.
The bank statement is similar in every
way to that of a week ago. There is a
large increase in loans and larger gain

the gains of these stocks is most interest
ing. In six market days Burlington has
advanced from 132 to l49. or seventeen
points. This advance represents something
like Sl4.0OO00O in the value of the capital
stock Of the company. 1t has been accom-
plished only by the buying and selling OF
approximately q million shares, or more
than the entire capital stock

during the last week. The advance of
Rock Island since the low point was
reached a few days ago has been six points
St. Paul had moved up to the same extent
from 1876 TO l32. The general opinion ex-
pressed is that if the bull market con-

There have been various stories during

as entirely satisfactory TO the Street and

haeu completed finally. The road is to pay
over SIS 900 600 in principal and interest

than 50 COO 600 under the figure generally

amounts are TO be secured by an equal

would seem certain that this payment to

can hardly be estimated with any degree
Of accuracy, but the outlook is certainly
good for higher prices for both Central

William Kehrer, the marine who @ed from yellow fever at Havana the other day, vas one of the tallest and strongest men in the corps. being more than feet tall and weighing 18O pounds. He was "A years old, and his home was in Brooklyn. He was trans ferred from the Columbia to the Reso- lute at League Island. going to Ha- yana Dec. II.
 Kehrer was stationed with a corps of forty men on the Maehina wharf. Up 10 June II he was in the best of health. His case was not thought to be yellow fever until June II, for the symptoms were not alarming. The barracks had been thoroughly funi- gated and precautions taken against the spread of the fever.
 Kehrer's death was the first among the marines and the second yellow fever death among American soldiers. The other was Patrick Twohig of the Second Engineers. who died in Mari- anao in January.
