BETTER FEELING IN
THE STOCK MARKET
A Variety Of Causes Combine to
Produce the Days Inn
provenent.
GROWING EASE OF MONEY
straitened Condition Of the Mar
ket Has Apparently Been
Passed Now.
GROWING EASE OF MONEY

NEW YORK. September 19.--The
sources from which sprang the better
speculative feeling prevalent in the
stock market to-day would be ditiicult
10 define accurately. The market was
largely professional and the influences
to which most attention was paid were
such az arc usually favorites with the
professional class of operators on the
floor. The personality of the brokers
DR. firms which were executing the.
large orders In stocks, their supposed
affiliations and rumors OF possipie
financial projects that might lie back
of the operations made up the stock
in trade of those who claimed TO ex-
plain the market. The incident of an
extended uncovered short interest III
the market which was made uneasy
by the aggressive appearance OF the
advance. undoubtedly constituted an
iinportant item in the explanation OF
the market. Special movements in IN
dividual stocks from time to time have
given rise to suggestions of develop
ments favoring these properties. Sucn
was the recent movement in the Hill
stocks. which was accompanied ny sur.
misses OF reimbursement of control or
the Burlington which would be fol-
lowed by an extra dividend distribu-
ton of profits.
To-day Union Pacific held the place
in the market that was previously heid
condition OF the money market for a
long time past has been bar to ven
lures involving resort to credit but
,he growing ease of money With tne
satisfaction of the special needs of the
large syndicate transactions of last
week removes this bar. There was
some early unsettlement in the mar
ket due to the influence of the renewed
depression in the metal stocks. The
statement OF the intended policy on
the part of the large copper producers
given out yesterday. while not sur
prise, was disappointment in not Of
fering any encouragement for the more
hopeful feeling over the outlook for .
resumption of sA.nand for the metal
But the resistance offered by the. gem
the decline in the metal stocks was
made a subject of favorable inter-
probation over the condition OF the
market
The continued rise in the New York
city bonds and the advance in the
Union uni Pacific convertible bonds gave
tone to the bond market, and was a
helpful influence on the whole market.
