There was much irregularity in the
stock market yesterday, and some particu-
lars of the day were not entirely satisfac-
tory. but unquestionabiy the total o. the
days business must be regarded as most
gratifying to those who believe a bull
movement has begun. At the opening, as
stated in this column yesterday aft rnoon.
there was some recession all over the list,
and there was evidence that the bears we're

have surprised the Street greatly, as the
previous advance had continued without

strong with good advances in some stocks.
In one or two groups there was weakness
which resulted in small net losses for the

general prediction is that the open ng to =
morrow will be buoyant. and that the week
will close with a boom. Money was tight
