in the late dealings became rather urgent. A
striking evidence of underlying strength was
the ind:spos-ton of the bears to contest the
advance This notably true in the group
OF industrial stocks which was made the tar
get for attack yesterday. Thus II will be seen
that the glucose stocks, the members of the
iron and steel group. People Gas and the local
traction stocks, which have of late been quite
persistently pressed by the bear faction, all
show rather striking gains. Another feature
OF the market was the fact that the few stocks
that were picked out to be manipulated for a
rise did not hold their gains we'll although the
advance seemed 10 effect the desired purpose
Of inducing sympathetic strength at other
points in the list The bidding up OF the Van
derblt group is time-honored maneuYer
among the professionals to signal a bull move
ment. Northwestern. Omaha, New York Cen
tra1 and the minor Vanderbilts all came into
trailed on usual. The coalers were also
employed as a leader. In the railroads the
strength was not widely diffused. although the
general zone was quite hrm. The grangers,
added to those already specified, would about
complete the list. The various tone displayed
by Sugar and Brooklyn Transit had a large
influence owing TO the volume OF the tran
saCtionS in them
The gains in Louisville Southern Pacific and
the Baltimore and Ohio stocks are small and
Pullman and Great Northern preferred show
sharp losses on the day There was no special
development in the days news TO account for
the markets strength There was no renewed
stringenCy in money, but there was no actual
replenishment of New Yorks diminished cash
supplies. Foreign exchange in New York ad-
vanCed sharply. causing some renewal OF talk
OF gold exports The simultaneous advance Of
sterling exchange here and in Paris and Ber-
liz indicated the drawing in by London Of out
standing resources in preparation for war eX-
penditures. The meager supply of cotton bills,
very unusual this period, is also g factor
in the strength of sterling exchange The
scarcity of ship room, owing to the British
Governments demands for transport service
is cited as the cause.
The market for bonds moderately active
and showed numerous points Of strength.
