New York, April 13.-Local transporta-

smartly to-day, and retained about half
the rise to the end. Brooklyn Transits
strength was connected with its pur-
chases of the Kings County Elevated Sys-
tenn. There were no new Developments
to account for the rise in Manhattan ann
Metropolitan. Assurances that adverse

Among other specialtes that were strong
were Sugar and Pressed Steel Car. The
activity and strength OF the specialtes
caused the early weakness In London to

ment orders in the bond market, which
caused an active demand and higher prices
for the gilt-edge issues Semi-speculative
mortgages were taken for turn and the
market was decidedly strong in many
spots.
A feature Of the trading was the in
creased inquiry for outside town centers.
