ant exceptions of strength were found
in the anthracite coalers, particularly

recorded a gain. In the afternoon a
much better sentiment developed. The
improvement was due partly to a feel
ing of relief at the success of meas

sence of further purchases of gold for

money at the Stock Exchange also con-
tributed to induce covering of shorts,
