ADVANCE IN STOCKS GOES STEADILY ON Bull Side Is Still Buying for
 Higher Prices TIME IS COMING To UNLOAD Market Is Not Yet High Enough to Suit the Big Financers Who Bought
 Stocks When They Were
 Higher Than Now
TIME IS COMING To UNLOAD
BY THOMAS c. sHorwELL.

New York, May 16,-(Special. 1.-The stock market rushed on upward today with new high records in many of the leaders. The promise Is for a wildly excited mar ket next week. A stubborn short in terest refuses to cover and some of the great financiers of the United States are plunging on the bull side in the hope of advancing stocks to levels at which they themselves can liquidate without se- were losses,
 It is Hartman market from begin ming to end, but great as the advance has been not a dollar of profit is shown yet for the aggressive party because they bought their stocks last year far above the present level and took such se- we're losses during the panic that 1t will te impossible for them to liaudate yet at a profit, On the other hand the Nor gan party is doing nothing except sell- ing few thousand shares now and then Of the stocks purchased at the bottom of the panic. No opposition is being made to the Hartman campaign, but losses are being scrutinized with extreme care for a disposition is growing on the part of those in charge of the market to spread out and accelerate public opinion by wild advances in the hope of being able to unload before the thing which is inevita- ble this summer comes to pass
 Attempt of the bears to make capital out of the export of gold Is of nc avails because there is such an abundance of the metal, The banks are in particularly good shape In regard to gold because they have been enabled to transmute nearly s6O,000,0o0 of bank notes into gold be- cause of the collapse of the clerical force in the bureau of redemption.
 The reasonable action of Congress in deliberately leaving the country at the mercy of panic makers by refusing to provide for a safe currency system is dangerous point of the situation. If Con- eress were anxious to cause a wild panic it could not promote such thing bet ter than by doing exactly what 1t Is doing.
 Cotton advanced further and wheat was fractionally lower.

London Stock Market.

London, May 16.-The stock exchange has been more active than 1t has been for some time and this weeks quota tions in the most departments scored sub stantial gains. The chief influence was cheaper money, which was available at a shade over l per cent and which cre- the assumption that there would be an early reduction in the Bank of England S rate of discount. Under this the premier security rose sharply and registered n ne- gain of 7s on the week. The foreign section of the market was quite buoyant, purchases on continental account caus- ing an especially sharp recovery in De Beers and Rio Tintos securities, which recently have been depressed.
 A slight halt in the activity occurred at the end of the week as cheap money brought out more new issues and profit taking was noticeable in various places, but the markets showed no signs of weakness and the tone continued good.
 American securities were enabled to maintain their recent strength under Il broadening support from Wall street. which created shade more confidence here. The advances were general throughout the list, but more pronounced ly in the coal shares. Chesapeake and Ohio and Ontario and Western benefited ' and points, respectively. on the week. Some irregularity at the end of the week caused recessions from the best points touched but today the list shows gem eral net advances of from 1 to 4 points over last week.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, May 16.-(Special.) )-Infiuence of the blend of the occasional showers and the medium to warm temperature was too much for the wheat market today. Talk of flies, bugs, rust, or anything else being able to beat nature in it's present mood was scoffed at May wheat at the close was ssc lower. There was a similar de- cline in July and September was down 3sc. Corn did different from wheat. It had friend and he was helping it over the rough places. He advanced May 19c and September A@ssc. Oats closed Ac lower for May, lsc lower for July and lac higher for September. Provisions at the end were a little higher.
 Leading futures were as fo1lows.

 Definite announcement of a sale of $17,- OO0,OO0 of notes by Henry H, Rogers Tfdewater railroad was made today. These notes take up the s10,000,00o two-year per cent notes whose issue In 1907 excited a great deal of comment, and was one of the first signs of the great money string ency of those days.
 With the proceeds the final completion of the road will be made. It has al- ready cost s35,0oo,O00 and Is one of the most expensive properties ever planned.
 The notes will be guaranteed by the personal pledge of MT. Rogers and some of his associates.

 Futures opened steady with July option 13 points above the close yesterday and the other active months unchanged to points up. The improvement shown was due to the continued good demand for spots in Liverpool. Added to the bullish factor presented by the English market, was none too favorable weather out look, resulting in a still further advance, at the opening. A period of dullness en- sued before the close and brought about a slight recession in values. At the close which was barely steady the active months were to 10 points above the close yesterday.

Mancl;ester Cloth Market.

Manchester. May 16.-The sharp rise In prices of cotton during the past week ne cessitated an adjustment of quotations on the cloth market to a higher level. This naturally was not liked by the buy CTS, who refrained from placing orders, hoping for a lower level. Consequently an increased turnover to fill immediate requirements resulted, especially well for shirtings to both India and China, while the demand from the near eastern mar kets as well as South American, was slightly increased.
 Yarns advanced farthing on the week with the general demand improving herewith. Egyptian as we'll as American yarns shared in the betterment.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'S Letter.

New York, May 16.-(Special.)- )-Man- chester again surprised the trade by buy ing largely in Liverpool, so largely as to advance that market in face of the de- cline here. This revival of trade in Man chester is the foundation of the advance here during the past two weeks. when the improvement there found the entire trade without cotton. As the Liverpool stock was comparatively small, and little cotton being exported from America, the demand from spinners necessarily caused an advance, which seems likely to con- tinue until they stop buying. Our Amer ican spinners, in our opinion, have small stocks of cotton, and if the improvement in European trade is followed by sim liar change for the better here, there will be competition. It is thought Wall street people are now short, having sold their long interest The advance today came as a surprise to everyone. Our cables state the demand for cotton is likely to continue next week.
