properties were advanced smartly to-
day and retained about half the rise

was connected with it's purchases of the
Kings county elevated system. There
were no new developments to account
for the rise in Manhattan and Metro

islation was unlikely helped CONSOLE
dated Gas and Brooklyn Union Gas.
Among other specialties that were
strong were Sugar and Pressed Street
Car. The activity and strength of the
specialties caused the carly weakness In
London to be ignored and the Standard
railways were neglected until the after
noon, when renewed activity was at the
expense of values. Some considered
tEo Samoan incident as bear argu-
ment, but crop damage reports caused
the Changers to be sold freely. I'm
portant bull interests seemed to bid up
their properties in the forenoon, but
were not heavy buyers, judging by APP
pearances. The reactionaTy movement
in the railways cut down some of the
advances in special issues, including
the Tobacco stocks. The selling move
ment was in progress at the end, leav-
ing the market weak. Call money in
the late dealings ran up to the legal fig
ure, but later eased off to 4 per cent.
The public was induced by the early ad-
vance in the specialties to take an in
creased interest in the market which
was reflected in the volume OF commits
sion house business. the mere urgent
demand of this character was satisfied
before the final hour, when there was
considerable professional realizing.
The comparative ease of the mon
etary situation influenced return of
investment orders in the BOND market
which caused an active demand and
higher prices for the gilt-edge issues.
