Stocks-Stock prices closed strong
with most stocks ruling above yester-
days closing, although for the greater
part of the forenoon session extreme
weakness prevailed in practically the
entire list, partly the result of the i'm
petus of yesterdays decline. London
bought and sold alternately, and on the
balance sold about 10000 shares, the
! carrying rates there indicating a fair
| supply of stock. Practically all the
| local commission houses had realizing
| orders at the opening, a large part Of
which sales were apparently due to
exhausted margins. Many stop loss
orders were caught on the railways and
in some of the specialties from 2 to 5
points below yesterday. There was a
drop Of about points in Great North
ern preferred, Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
| Chicago & ST. Louis, and National Bis
/ cult, while Sugar and American Steel
were down points each. Monetary
coalitions remain easier and there was
no important news except Agwnaldo's
| request for q suspension of hostilities,
to which was attributed some improve
ment in American stocks in the Lon
don market. 1t was said that one
prominent trader had SOLD $4,000 shares

stood was absorbed by brokers who
usually represent very substantial in
terest. Several large bull houses were
buyers on the decline Of stocks with
which they are frequently identified.
These purchases being noticed, caused
some covering by traders, and by noon
the market started to rally and the
movement gained considerable Roadway
as the day progressed and there were
recOveries in practically every stock
that suffered on the decline. Chicago,
Indianapolis & Louisville preferred was
aggressively strong throughout the day
and sold up 312 in expectation Of an
early dividend. To the same influence
was attributed point rise in Reading
first preferred. Lake Erie & Western
preferred was constantly supported and
moved UP points on favorable gossip.
National Biscuit, which had broken
four points early, became buoyant to-
ward the end and jumped 6 points to
80. Other stocks in which very mater
ial rallies occurred late in the day were
Great Northern preferred and Canada
Southern among the railways, the local
traction and gas stocks, Tennessee Coal
and Rubber, Tobacco, Sugar and Amer
lean Steel.

veloped an improved tone under the
leadership of Wisconsin Central firsts
and st. Louis Southwestern seconds.
