MARKET GAINS GO ON.
Practically No Weak Spot an Stocks
Good Feeling IN the Street.

Stocks made another substantial advance in
Wall Street yesterday, and the sentiment Of
traders continued bullsh. The close was near
tie best prices Of the day, with trading strong
and active. and the talk after business ended
was decidedly optimistic the whole. Undoubt-
eddy a number Of conservative and careful
judges looked for a reaction especially after
the halt given to rising values on Thursday
afternoon. but their expectations were not real
tzed for despite heavy profit taking on every
advance. prices at every recession recovered
promptly. and there was practically no weak
spot in the entire market.
Vigorous drives against the shorts were one
OF the principal features in Thursdays
market. Amalgamated Copper attracted much
attention in the afternoon session by advancing
violently 515 points on transactions of about
100000 shares. Reports to account for the
jump. of course. were Immediately put in cir
culation. One was that the company had OBJ
tanned control of the Greene Consolidated Cop
per Company whose mines are in Mexico, a for
nlidable rival of the Amalgamated. The stock
taken IN large blocks, and the price ran up
10 30 before the close. It said also that
Boston interests were heavily short of the
stock. That city has been a heavy buyer re-
Gently. Outside of Copper the principal activity
was in NewYork Central. which rose per
cent, st. Paul, which adva iced 34, Union Pa
cific Manhattan, Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio. All these issues made substantial
improvements Indeed, there were few stocks on
the list which did not show at least fractional
gain Thursday nights closing.
Reading. which was the feature Of the pre-
vious days market. was among the more active
stocks. but while il held fairly strong, il closed
at a small recession. The preferred shares made
a fractional gain. The drive against the bears
continued with undminshed activity until the
market closed. According to estimates short
contracts amounting to 100000 shares were COW
cred yesterday, and total losses of professional
sellers for the decline since the end of last week
were said 10 amount to about S3OOOOOo
II explanation of the decline of activity in
Reading, il said that there was no deal in
the stock and as the Baltimore and Ohio and
Lake Shore companies owned a majority of the
stock. no outside interest could get control
A bull point that had some effect on the early
dealings was the buoyancy Of American issues
in the London market. The advance there, how
ever. could not keep pace with the rise here. and
arbitrage houses, after buying, sellers
balance, but in moderate amount.
