but they ereabsorbed with considerable
confidence and advanced easily on

Final prices. however were consider
ably below the best and the tone of the
market during the latter part OF thy
day was decidedly unsettled and spot
~. in spite of the sustaining influence
OF notable strength in some stocks.
The opening rise was in sympathy
with London and was attributed to the
effect of the news from China of the re-
lief OF TIen Tslu, Later advices showed
that the periodical settlement In London
had disclosed an Unexpectedly large
hear account in Americans and the
London buying was the covering OF
short contracts. It was especially ef-
fective in some Of the Southern railroad
stocks. The New York market. how
ever showed Itself Indifferent to the
progress OF events in China, as 1t has
consistently done throughout and the
opening advance was largely lost.
The first rally in the market followed
the sharp break in the wheat market
and was most noticeable IN the south
wessern grangers, especially Burling-

Tho weekly statistics Of raiIrond traf-

the grain traffic of western lines for the

reaching the best figures FOR the cor
responding week in i've years, with the
execution of last year. The deliveries
at primary points run up o. per cent
over last year, showing the attraction
OF present prices for the real holders Of
wheat. This demonstration detrneted
somewhat from the nlarmlst reports of
wholesale disaster 10 the crops. and I'D
dIdonal attention was given TO the

however that the buying of railroad
stocks came largely from the short In
