upwards. absorbing some blocks of
moderate dimensions on the way The
action Of this stock in face OF the
worst that had been foretold cleared
the situation and there were some sharp
advances in the closing dealings. The
steel and wire news did not come out
!! until within half an hour of the close

then reasserted itself. There was
/ period of practical stagnation and

: was decided. The great Improvement
in the sentiment on foreign stock mar
kets was reflected at the opening here,
| notably in the Baltimore and Ohio
stocks and there was good demand
later for the Vanderbilt group of rail-
| roads, the grangers, the Pacifics, Con-

er specialties. Sugar, Tennessee Coal
and Iron, American Smelling and the
Distilling group were centres of weak

! Another unfavorable bank statement is
expected tomorrow as the banks have
been losing both to the interior and to

also figure in the return, though none
of the $4,000,000 announced to-day will
be included. The changes in loans
cannot be foretold. though events in
the stock market would indicate con-
traction. But this was true last week
also when the events showed an expan-
sion of s15,000,0O0.
The bond market was only moder-
ately active and changes were mixed.
