The course OF the stock market yester-
day from the opening to the close must be
regarded as in every way satisfactory 10
that part of the speculative public which
has believed in a higher level Of prices and
in the improbability that any reaction at
this time can be serious. After sensa-
tional Monday and a decline on Tuesday
that had many symptoms OF break, with
prices off from two to ten points from the
high, there has been an entire recovery.
For two days the course of prices has been
upward. instead of downward as was eX-
pected by many. During the last hour yes
terday there was some realizing of profits
and prices shaded on from the highest
This, however, was TO be expected, and is
not considered by anybody to have any
significance. On the whole, as today is
Friday, it is. perhaps, not to be expected
that prices Will advance greatly, but con
sentative people do not look for any de-
cline The opening may be at a shade
lower than yesterdays close. And always
there is the possibility, as has been shown
in this market before several times, that
the buying may get entire control and
force prices VI all day.
The factors which had the greatest in
huence on the course of the market yes
terday, aside from the general bullishness
of the public, were the continued belief
that there is a foundation for the story OF
the New York Central deal and the fine
statement of the December net earnings
of St Paul. Late in the day there was
another denial of the New York Central
story, which helped in pushing prices down
somewhat from the top. Londons specu-
lation IN Americans was on both sides OF
the market, but the balance for the day
showed confidence in the Yankees.
The ST. Paul statement for the month of
December may be regarded as the most
important piece of news of the day, al
though there had been a general eXpecta-
ton that ii would be post favorable. The
net increase for the month was 1896. 600
or at the rate OF something better than
81 O00, 000 by the year This magnificent
showing had the effect of sending all the
grangers up ana Strengthening the entire
market. St. Paul, however, profited most
by IL, scoring a new high record, 1870 Is
and advancing more than two points net
over the closing price of Wednesday. 1t
would seem that if the advancing contin-
ues st. Paul from this time should take a
most prominent place in IL.
Rock Island also acted very well though
! still exhibiting Discrimination to keep
| pace with the others of the granger group.
The close was at an advance of a point
| from the opening. The theory most In
favor with the public is that Mr.. Flower,
for some reason best known to himself

| its advance comes 1t will be rapid one
