BUOYANT AT THE CLOSE PRICES OF STOCKS MAKE GREAT
 RECOVERY. Despite the Marked Improvement, Rumors of Failures Yet to Come Are rndustriously Cir
 culated--Bonds Make
 Gains.


 New York, Aug. e.--Foiiowing a weak. almost panicky opening. today's stock market suddenly reversed its course, sub- stantiai gains being registered by practi- caliy all the better class securities. The average of net advances were about per cent In some instances, gains were much greater. New York Central led the active list with net gain of 3 3-s.
 The change of front, which occurred in the early afternoon, was doubtless due to several reasons, the most potent of which was the good" buying which seemed to emanate from high quarters. There is little room for doubt that stocks were purchased freely today by insiders-by banks, banking houses. financial institu- tions generally and wealthy individuals, because they seemed cheap. No justifica- ton could be found for the report rather industriously circulated, that the Wander bilts, Rockefellers and Harrimans. with their hosts of followers, had entered upon plan to lift prices. As a matter of fact. no little part of today's improvement was undoubtedly due to extensive covering, many on the short side regarding the market being very much over-soid.
 Despite the marked improvement, fur- ther talk of trouble and probable failures was heard on every side, almost to the close, Wnicn was really DOuyant.
 Reports current in trustworthy circles suggest that several firms and indfvaduals whose affairs were found to be in bad shape have been permitted to make pri- vate settlements, thus saving themselves such sacrifices as could inevitably have been made had their holdings been thrown upon the market.
 The days business was slightly less than 10000 shares. Stocks that made the most extensive net gains included Sugar. American Tobacco preferred. St. Paul, Colorado Fuel, Delaware and Hud- son, Denver and Rio Grande. General Electric, Hooking Valley preferred. H. linois Central, International Power, Louisville and Nashville. and Metropoli- tan Subscriptions: New York. Chicago and St. Louis preferred North American, Rub- Der Goods preferred. Southern Pacific, Virginia Carolina Chemical common and preferred. Wabash preferred, westing4 house Electric, Wheeling and Lake Erie second preferred. and St. Louis and San Francisco, Eastern Illinois Certificates. the latter advancing ten points.
