varied trading. A quick market was Of
fered for almost any volume OF stocks
and very notable strength continued at
various points in the list, but the bur-
den of the profit taking sales proved
rather heavier than for some time past
and made more general inroads upon
prices. The market fairly turned irenc-

the most effective. Of these when 1t sud-

Prices did stiffen In sympathy, but the

exceedingly scarce. Pretty much the
whole list has been exploited In the
course OF the present speculation. The
character OF the market, otherwise than
in these technical particulars was not

the elimination Of the rise, and they
Sold freely on the short side to-day, as
they have done for several days past,
