TO become party TO the scheme.

Yesterdays stock market had nothing
lew to add to the record of dullness and
inherent strength, its important charac-
teristics for the past two weeks or more.
The triiing downward swing Of prices wit
messed on Tuesday was recovered in large
part. and the list generally closed with
fractional net gains for the day, but 1t
cannot be said that this advance was due
TO anything more than professional opera
tons of most unimportant character.
London WAS a buyer of American securi-

the professionals bid prices up at the

kei badly afflicted with the disease. The
people who would buy cannot and those
who could will not. Even this somewhat
dscouraging condition is very much better
than a weak market however. None Of
the important interests are disposed TO
sell and fillip in the shape Of good news
from South Africa might very quickly
cause buoyant and broad speculation. 1t
may be said with truth, as II has been
for many days past. that the general BUSH
ness situation all over the country, and
IN New York In particular. is growing
better every day. Easy money, and the
certainty that rates Will continue to be

OF very positive character TO the stock
