The Rock Island party is understood
to be more active in the market than
at any previous time for nearly year.
but there is still much uncertainty as to
whether IL contemplates a sustained
speculative campaign in the common
stock. The market is too narrow to

The semi professional interest in the
market. which differs from the public
interest, begins to show a pronounced
bullish tendency. Houses whose ac-
counts reflect the operations of this
class find that they are carrying about
twice as many long stocks as they were
three months ago. The miscellaneous
short interest has declined proportion
ately. This increase Of the long in

worked late last night. and left a few
minutes before the fire was discovered.
At that time there was no Indication of

as 1920 clock Engineer George Aspen
wahl was in the engine room. where
the fire started, at which time he bank
ed the fires. IL is now thought that the
fire was due To an overheated flue, close
