all that were dealt in advanced brisk
~ to a level substantially above that
OF last night. The immediate motive
OF the buying movement was the pre-
urinary estimates of the gains in cash
Tor the week by the associated banks.
Inc money market during the week
has shown with sufficient clearness
that cash reserves were being largely
replenished, but it is reported a tradi-
ton with stock operators to defer ac-
ton to discount the bank statement
until Friday afternoon. There has
been a very large waiting contingent
IN Wall street watching for some posi-
tive development in the market before
committing themselves to action. All
the larger commission houses have
been advising their customers to re-
frain from action and await the mar
ket. Apparently a large proportion OF
these were impressed by the earlier
events of the day in the market and

stock over 10 points. The amount u
stocks brought out on the decline did
not prove very encouraging and the
rest Of the market was not acutely A.
fected. A number OF positive points Of
strength also developed, notably in Mis-
souri, Pacific, in which there was evil
dence Of operations by q pool. The
whole of the southwestern group wa
affected by sympathy, notwithstanding
the deterioration in earnings on ac-
count OF a small cotton movement. The
metal group was also strong, led by
steel and wire, which was bought in
anticipation of dividend action. Sugar
was a prominent figure in the advance
on heavy dealings, in which the de-
mand from the shorts was a large fac
tor. These special points of strength
were the vantage points from which
the late general advance in prices was
inaugurated. There were rumors all
day of the relief of Ladysmith, but as
London sold more stocks than she
without much effect. It is expected
that the associated banks had gained
up to Thursday night nearly $4,000, 0C0
in cash, the estimate being based on
figures furnished by the principal
banks of the direct express movement.
OF this total, operations with the sub
treasury have furnished $4,196,000.
There has been no evidence of any
large loan expansion in the stock mar
ket, but the time money market and
that of mercantile paper has been quite
active. A notable increase in surplus
reserve is, however, considered assured.
The market for railroad bonds con-
tinued broad and active all day and
strength was general throughout the
list. Total sales par value $~3,220.000.
