| NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
| NEW YORK. Oct. 1S.-There was q
considerable growth Of confidence on
the part Of the bull party in stocks to-
day, and the market cannot be properly
characterized otherwise than as strong.
The strength was decidedly spotty, es-
Lecially during the early part of the
day. But the tone steadily improved
and the demand for stocks in the late
dealings became rather urgent. a
striking evidence Of underlying strength
was the indisposition Of the bears to
contest the advance. This was notably
true in the group of Industrial stocks
which was made the target for attack
yesterday. Thus. it will be seen that the
glucnro stocks, the members Of the iron
and :t'rs' group. Peoples Gas and the
loca !. ,9tivn stocks which have of late
been Isi1e persistently pressed by the
bear :-iction. all show rather striking
gains. Another feature of the market
was the fact that the stocks which
| were picked out to be manipulated for
| q rise did not hold their gains well,
although the advance seemed to effect
the desired purpose of inducing sympa-
| thctic strength at other points in the
list.
