TIE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

was without especial feature. Total sales
amounted TO only 210.263 shares, and Of this
number seven stocks supplied two-thirds Cur
rent dealings furnish no clew as 10 the future
Of the market, but bear traders are willing to
encourage the idea that duness must end in
liquidation There was no gloomy news yester-
day Foreign conditions were considered better,
and local developments were in favor of market
activity and higher quotations. The railroad
shares were firm, but there was no response
from outside buyers TO favorable railway earn

II is probable that they were carefully and cheer

pronounced weakness in Sugar Refining and

clining values.
The disturbance Of confidence and the lower
ing of values which bear organs have been
talking about for the last two months have
not developed. According TO bear theory poll
tics ought TO unsettIe values and confidence,
and the fact that it has not is explained on the
ground that the two political parties have not

that political conditions the world over will soon
begin to undermine the financial and industrial
stability Of all nations. Some people are taking
q morbid view Of the outlook. Politics may af-
feet money and business and stocks may work
lower but the strength Of securities in the last
few weeks reflects a healthful and confident
sentiment among the people who are the prin-

in the market but based on actual conditions
