The tone was quiet after very moderate
recessions but good strength shown
throughout.
Commission houses reported small
but improving public interest. Insiders
are very bullsh on Delaware and Hud-
son and say that as one of the results OF
the demand for coal this road
will show considerably better than
10 per cent earned. and already
the possibility of an advance in divi-
dend rate is being discussed. It. was
said that the Pennsylyania-Gould ar
raneements in regard to the Wabash
was in the basis OF Pennsylvania get
ting all the Wabash east-bound freight
and q pledge from the Goulds rot to
extend east of l ittsburg or Buffalo. In
siders are very confident on the sr@-ttion
of Monongahela and talk freely of )
per cent dividend on the common
stock There was good buying in c. &
A. Reports were current in well in
formed quarters OF large increased earn

to be seen and Metropolitan shares

There is a good foreign demand for
our securities. Higher prices from
London; better crop news generally;
lower prices for corn and wheat; strike
news wi.aout influence. Railway earn
ings exceedingly favorable. Australian
gold arrivals: no stocks pressing for
sale; confidence gradually increasing.
Greater activity, with higher prices.
This gives the story of to-days mar
ket, sand is only repetition or what
we have pointed out for over week.
Judging from the surface appearance OF
the market, as we'll as from momentary
conditions. still higher prices in the
course Of this week may be looked for,
although the market will experience
some reactions from the bulges, from
time to time. But 1t seems almost evil
dent that the trend of values for the
present is to higher level BACHE.
