a chance to catch UP in their business
The New York stock spectators how
ever. did not need any London higher
prices incentive to open the local market
strong and higher than yesterdays close
The buoyancy of yesterday was impetus
enough and while there were no iuflu-
ences to affect the situation. there. never
theless, was a distinct improvement I'm tho
speculative temper.
Continued urgent buying OF Atchson COM
mon stock was again feature. and that
issue scored an advance Of over 2 per cent.
Erie issues were all strong and higher,
and 1t is expected that these stocks Will
again come to the front after the return
of Mr.. Morgan from Europe. Il was stated
today that his acquisition of the LeyIand
Steamship Line would particularly benefit
the Erie read. but Just how was not stated
The local traction stocks were again
strong and scored advances OF from > to
2lh per cent on covering by the shorts. =
Most OF this group. however, have had
good rallies from the low point. and buyers
should be cautious about getting IN Oh top

st. Paul was another feature OF strength,
although no effort was mace TO advance
the price, but some bears wisely covered, as
it was limited around that the short interest
In this stock was becoming unwieldy and
a sharp covering movement might be forced
at any time.
Consolidated Gas as was the case yester-
day, showed inside buying. and the price
advanced to 224ia a gain of over points
from yesterdays closing figures.
In the Industrial group Sugar stock WAS
the most active-it rose a point on rumnrs
that the stock was cornered, but the corner
did not seem to last long and the stock
quickly lost the gain, though ii afterwari
rallied some and held the gain. There were
few other notable features In the market,
and after the first hour Of speculation the
inclination was toward moderation al
around.
The bank statement did not show the
gain In cash that had been expected. ou
the contrary, 1t showed a loss of 81 2l3 GOO
In other respects the statement is very
favorable. particularly the decrease in
loans of over S24,0o0000. The decrease I'm
deposits is very nearly Consistent with
the two funda amental changes and the
net result is a bookkeeping Increase In the
reserve. which brings that item UP to Sl3.-

hold until the close, and probably open
strong on Monday, when it may seem de-
sirable TO take profits that have accrued
recently and look for reaction OF d point

Pure Beer CamDaiHn,

In The Star today is a page on the sub
ject of beer. The Christian Heurich Brew
ing Company has begun a campaign that
bids fair to agitate this question thorough
ly The Heurich company sets forth that
its beer is the best in the world, that it
is pure beer made by the most approved
scientific methods; that 1t has attained a
very large sale through it's popularity, and
that this popularity of the Heurich beer
has led some dealers to attempt selling
other beer in place of 1t.
The Heurich company has decided to
permit no dealer that sells the Maerzen
beer to deal In any other dark beer, cutting
off dealers who violate this rule from their
supply Of the Heurich beverage.

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to Is a bona-f1de one.
It Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers. by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable, and which are, in fact, re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement Of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however,
Judge by results, and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
