It Is evident that bear expectation that 1t would culminate and these afford fresh sustaining force for the market as the rise compels their covering. various railroad and industrial stocks today touched the highest prices of the year.
 The transcontinentai grouz offered con. spieuous examples. The market reyolved The report during the day that . meeting of the Union Pacific directors was called for tomorrow pointed to the immediate prospect Of the bond issue authorized oy the stockholders May 5.
 It is very common assumption that sx- tensive measures are being used to foster the strength in the stock market in prep aration for this bond Issue. Advancing prices for stock whet the appetite for new sOs s S osk or S bonds on 3 h per cent. interest basis. com pared with per cent. for the ftrst DOT conditions for new capital issues. Pubiica- tion of estimates of the quick profits realiz- ed by the syndicate which underwrote the Interborough notes was calculated to giNe zest to a demand for a new bond issue. The process of raaiizing profits In the new issues was accompanied by some irregular, ty of price movements in the regular bona department.
 There was nothing in the money market to account for this irresulsrity in the pond list or to seek to threaten the success of the Union Pacific bond issue for iacE of abundance of money supplies.
 Discount rates were inclined to Neiu. both in London and Paris and rise in the sterling exchange rate at Paris was meas ure of the relaxation of the demand from that center on London for gold Thr strength of the stock market was by no means uniform nor did it spread thronsh the list until after a period of irreguiarlty CTS were heavy spots in the early dealings. The postponement of the intended increase in freight rates was an influence Tn thls instance The LehtEh Valleys poor net earnings for March was accepted as mean ing that the anthracite carriers are making less effective economics than some or the other railroad groups.
 Copper rose fn London and the Amert- can smeiting Company advanced the price based on the expectation that the govern ment report on crops to be given out Fri day wiIl prove very favorable. Determined support was extended to the market up 10 the end Of the day.
