Good buying and better London prices
acted as a lever 10 the stock market this
morning and before noon there had been
advances in nearly all stocks of from Il
fraction TO a point or more. There was
every indication of strength and return
OF the upward movement, and the bulls
were again happy and confident. The in
trinsic bull arguments in the general sit
uaton have apparently overcome the tech
nical matters, which for a time threatened
a large reaction. Some of the bears are
frightened. and others may be before the
end of the week. Everything is possible
in the stock market, and the boom may
prove to be as transitory as the decline
was But conservative people are most
