about 4-64 above the close of yester-
day, the second cable was off an
other. New York opened from two
to six points below the close of yes
terday, and on some good indica-
tions of heavy receipts for this week
there was some selling during the
early part of the session, forcing the
market down some ten or twelve
points which was recovered and the
advance continued almost without
any perceptible resistance on the
part of the bears which have hereto
fore been such strong factor in
the market. The close In New
York was strong at net advance of
from ten to fourteen points for the
