make a runaway of il. She opened a
gap OF six lengths. which she maintained

II is very certain that the bulls feel
better over the market than at any time
heretofore during the past week After
several days of gradual Declines which
have averaged for the active stocks , per
cent or more there was yesterday a pro-
nOunced change of sentiment resulting in
good buying and considerably higher
prices. There was no squirt, as there could
not be with the chill on the market but
gradually all day after the first few min
utes prices crept up in very reassuring
manner. The close averaged somewhat
better than a half point advance on the
active stocks. 1t is difficult to anaIyze
the change of sentiment. Many prominent
interests considered the decline sufficient
to make buying likely to be profitable, and
as soon as the advance began there was
buying by the public. 1t seems probable
that yesterday will prove to have been the
turning point and that the good showing of
the day will induce large orders for this
morning. The ending Of January is likely
to have been also the end of The little de-
cline. Once started upward the market
will be much better for the reaction which
has undoubtedly shaken out many weak
holders.

of the money market il is said an ade-

doubtedly some part of this money has

a transient effect upon the local market
