Stocks-The movement of prices was
regularly upwards for the railroad
stocks, while many industrial stocks,
especially of the more recently organ
lied companies, showed symptoms OF
weakness. The movement of the mar
ket was by pulsations, first one and
then another group of stocks taking up
the advance. There was no time dur
ing 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 an
other. Many stocks were sluggish
throughout the day. Prices generally
gave way after 2 o'clock under the
pressure of realizing in the leather
stocks, which had been the centre of
the speculation all day. The earlier
gains were wiped out in numerous in
stances in this reaction. The aggres-
siye advance of the coalers checked the
decline and rallied the market but not
to the top level The market closed
with the brilliant advance in the coal
ers still in force and with the tendency
irregular elsewhere in the list. The
net gains in the coalers went all the
way from a point in the minor mem
bers of the group to AZ in New Jersey
Central. Dealings in the leather stocks
were again on an enormous scale, the
comman rising at one time to Is and
the preferred to 82B. Other points of
individual strength were Sugar, the
Southern group of railroads and the
Southwestern group; Iowa Central pre-
ferred, Ann Arbor preferred, Great
Northern preferred, Anaconda and
American Car both common and pre-
eferred. The market opened with

don, where the fortnightly settlement
developed quite a large bear account
in Americans so that London bought
here as many stocks as were sold for
\ that account yesterday. Large realiz
ing met the advance, and the local
htraders were inclined to the bear side.
They had some assistance from the
positive weakness of a number of
tocks in the Industrial list. Stocks

higher prices. Total sales par value
