NET GAIN IN COALERS

New York, October 25.-The movement of
prices was irregularly upward for the rail-
road stocks, while many industrial stocks,
especially of the more recently organized
companies, showed symptoms of weakness
The movement of the market was by pulsa-
tons, first one and then another group of
stocks taking up the advance. There was
no time during the day when the general
level of prices kept company at the top, the
rise in one group giving way to reaction be-
fore the advance was taken up by another
Many stocks were sluggish throughout the
day. Prices generally gave way after
o'clock under the pressure of realizing in
the leather stocks, which had been the CEN
ter of the speculation all day. The earlier
gains were wiped out in numerous instances
in this reaction. The aggressive advance of
the coalers checked the decline and rallied
the market but not to the top level. The
market closed with brilliant advance in the
coaIers still in force, but with the tendency
irregular elsewhere in the list The net
gains in tho coalers went all the way from
a point in the minor members of the group
to AZ In New Jersey Central. Other points
of individual strength were sugar the
southern group of railroads, the southwest
ern group, Iowa Central preferred, Ann Ar
Dor preferred Great Northern preferred,
Anaconda and American Car both common
and preferred. ,
The continued stiffness of the money rate,
which ruled at 6 per cent or above, was a
encouragement to the bulls. The sudden
drop to per cent late in the day, though
not of much significance as an index of ac-
tual conditions, helped on the late rally in
stocks. The recovery in sterling exchange
in view of the hardness of money here and
the drop in the discount rates in London is
difficult to explain, especially in view of the
free buying of stocks by London in this
market
There was a good demand for bonds at
generally higher prices. Total sales at par
value, $2,110,OO0. United States new As, reg
