Stocks-The changes in stock quo
atoms for the day were unlmportant.
The market showed strength most OF
the day and repeated efforts on the
part of the bears to depress prices al
though assisted by sales of some $1,000
shares of stock for London account,
were of little avail and prices worked
upward generally until the last hour,
when previous gains of the day were
practically wiped out. The highest
prices of the day were made about
noon, the standard shares showing
some gains. Although there had been
such a large volume of sales for Lon
don, internationals at this time were
above last nights close. At the open
ing the market was under pressure but
the variations were fractional. Com
mission houses had many selling Or
ders. but after a few minutes the de-
mand more than equalled the supply.
Traders sold early, then bought n
in the final dealings reversed their po-
sition by again selling. Several OF the
largest houses were openly large buy
ers in the second hour. When prices
eased off in the late dealings, commits
sion house business diminished. Inc
Readings were strong on a story that
leading interests in the coal trade pro-
posed bringing about a workable DuSl-
ness arrangement between the different
coal companies that would conduct to
harmony in the trade. Peoples Gas
and Tobacco were conspicuous LOT
strength, as were also some OF the low
priced railway shares and some Oh the
minor specialties. New YORK AR
Brake to-day took a violent plunge OF
some 1872 points, of which 1t recovered
only 3A. The selling was on that the
Westinghouse suit had been compro-
missed. The volume of trading was
about a below the one million shares
