METAL AND LOW
PRICED STOCKS IN
GOOD DEMAND
Consolidated Gas Also Advances
and Market Shows Good
Strength.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-There was
some irregularity at the outset of bust
ness in the stock market, but the more
important speculative favorites all
opened higher. Consolidated Gas i'm

a large scale In a number of the lead
ers, but the demand was SUFFICIENT to
prevent any serious inroads on prices,
aside from Missouri Pacific, which sold
IL below yesterdays closing. The mar
ket afterwards moved up in a resoiute
name all around, and there was a de-
cided inquiry for some of the low-priced
stocks. Consolidated Gas was a con-
spicuous feature and advanced 3 points.
The metal stocks were also extensively
bought, particularly ~Amalgamated Cop

off all around, and some stocks yielded

midday the market again weakened
slightly and became duh. Bonds were

l p. m~.-Reading was bought on a
liberal scale for a while, and advanced
1&, to 1905. While the general list
hardened sympathetically, the traders
o O began to sell stocks under cover
of the demonstration in Reading, and
the list became reactionary. Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific n American
Smelling yielded a point from the
highest prices, and Reading afterwards
became affected and gave way as
much. American Sugar was unusually
active, and gained a point. and there
was a rise also Of 8 in Brooklyn Union
Gas.
2 p. m.-The prices dropped steadily
during the late afternoon, and the
days gains were largely cancelled. The
Hartman and Hill stocks, as well as
of equal prominence, sold frac-
tionally below yesterdays closing.
Consolidated Gas, however, displayed
exceptional strength and extended its
advance TO Az. New York Central also
made a momentary show of strength
and rose les without effect on the gem
oral market.
