New York, Jan. 23.-Speculation In
stocks to-day passed previous high record
marks, both in volume and in price at
tanned. Transactions in stocks figured for
l620,O0O shares and the sales of bonds
reached s9,04G,OOO Trading was furious at
the opening, and the highest prices were
reached In most stocks on the initial bulge
with advances of to 10 points In some
cases. There were subsequent violent
breaks on enormous realizing of profits.
The market then became quieter until an
other exhibition of strength in the after
noon trading, when the coalers and Gould
stocks got to the best.
The bank statement, which seemed to
assure easy money, was the handspring
in the markets strength London opened
firm, but declined on operators taking
profits and then steadied on curb transact
tons. The extent of the public's interest
in the market was reflected congestion OF
business on the Stock Exchange and in
the commission houses. For instance, II
was announced TO a brokers' customers
to-day that all orders would be taken SUBJ
ject TO delay. as their representatives on
the floor was unable to attend to all OF
their business, and that floor brokers
would refuse orders as they had more on
their hands than they could execute. II
was the usual thing 10 refuse 20 accept
stop loss orders, as the trading was too
violent to guarantee their execution. An
incident conveying an impression of the
extent of the early advance was that OF
customer who had given an order to sell
block Of an active issue. and who re-
ceived $4,000 more than the order called
for owing to the violent rise while the
order was being executed. Large operat-
ors were believed 10 have realized heavily
in the early dealings but there was said
to be considerable taking back of stocks
in the afternoon that had been sold ear
Ier, and round amounts OF stock were
covered by the traders.
