Wall Street Review.
by Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
New York Fob. 2O.-The active spe-
cialties generally made large advances
today, while the railways gained from
| to points A strong tone prevailed
practically all day, with the strength
radiating from one group Of stocks to
another The movement started in the
grangers and standard stocks and next
the Pacifics advanced. Interest then
switched into the Flower group and
the Southwestorns successfully and
then into the industrials, with Sugar
and Tobacco leading the rise. Many
conflicting rumors, all lacking confir-
nation, were disseminated concerning
the continued rise in tobacco. There
are some in the street who appear to
believe there is a movement against
the short interests, part of which was
formed on the breaking up of the pool
in the stock some time ago and another
short interest more recently formed in
expectation of a violent trade war to
follow the organization of the Union
Tobacco company. Sugar became act
i've again and rose 6H points to 1401a,
the top price recorded for the day. In
the final hour realizations appeared in
many stocks which caused some de-
clines of note, but the general market
displayed a rallying tendency at the
end. Tho dealings, which were 1,15S,i00
shares, were the largest that have
taken place in some weeks, with COM
mission houses reporting a good vol
ume of out of town buying.
The bond market shared in a general
show of strength today, but the rises
were generally of the merest fraction.
Considerable activity was noted with
the inquiry as of late in the semi
speculative grades. Total sales were
$5, SOC, 900.
Government bonds were unchanged
in bid quotations.
