S2,575,000 and an estimated gain on the
interior express movement Of nearly 4S3.-
0000OO more. The failure Of the money
market to harden was the occasion Of
the strong rally from the opening break,
in which Peoples Gas, Brooklyn Transit
and Sugar were forced down from ~ 10
g points. The striking feature OF the
buoyant market which prevailed during
the middle portion Of the session was
the Inconsistency of the strength and d.
mand for special stocks. A rapid price
movement In an individual stock would
be followed by a sharp reaction. willis
the speculative demand would shift hur-
riedly to other quarters A few minutes
consultation between traders on the
floor would result in the formation Of
a pool to take all offerings in some in
conspicuous stock. After these were alb
sorbed the price would be rapidly bid up
I or points. Such a naneuver never
failed to attract a horde of speculative
followers, buying orders coming from
both within and without the exchange.
Closing prices Of stocks were as follows:
