Bears Seemto Have Lost Control of Market-Pces Tend
ing to Higher Level-Remarkabe Jump in
Delaware and Hudson.

Consolidated Gas and Air Brake sold
higher. Sugar lost its early gain. Anal
gamated Copper was rather dull at near
last nights figures. Metropolitan Street
Railway was inclined to strength.
Toward the end of the first hour the
market showed a fresh tendency to i'm
provement, with renewed strength in
Delaware and Hudson and especial ad-
vances in Louisville and Nashville,
Frisco, Metropolitan Street Railway,
and Copper. The speculation. while mar
row, continues to maintain bullish
temper.
Government bonds unchanged: rail-
road bonds somewhat frmer.
The London houses have been nominal
buyers even on the advance. The to-
tai amounts to about 1000 shares. The
foreign buying was mostly scattered.
The market has been strong, and senti-
ment is decidedly cheerful. but everyone
on the floor is forced to admit that the
dealings are extremely professional.
Representative commission houses re-
port that they are doing no business
for the public, except scattering hun

The crowd at Ocean City Thursday

so many people at the resort on one day
as were there Thursday. Seventeen
car loads of eXcursionists arrived from
points on the Baltimore, Chesapeake &
Atlantic Railway, IA car loads from
points on the Delaware Railroad. and
IL car loads from the Delaware, Mary.
land & Virginia Railroad. On these
three trains were 1900 excursionists.
In addition to all this crowd Thurs
day was Farmers Day" at Ocean City,
and for miles and miles around the
farmers and their wives and children
went to the seashore to spend the day.
More than 800 carriages. wagons and
vehicles of all kinds were seen on the
beach and mainland, and when lunch
hour came the big baskets filled with
good things were opened and the lunch
partaken of.
For several hours the beach and
board walk were fairly jammed with
people. and the bath houses. hotels.
restaurants and saloons did big bust
ness. 1t is estimated that the crowd at
Ocean City Thursday numbered be-
tween six and seven thousand.-NeWs.
