NEW YORK SECURITIES BUOYANT
WITH PRICES MOVING TO NEW
HIGHER LEVELS.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2S.-The Wall
Street market is on the move today and
though huctuatIng considerably the
trend is upward with confidence in the
ranks of the bulls and the situation
pointing TO higher prices.
With the exception Of Erie common,
which started down p opening prices
showed general gains. Consolidated
Gas led of with an advance of ~.
SHELTERS opened up IA St. Paul rose 1
point Union Pacific opened a higher
Erie first preferred gained - Northern
Pacific opened up y and Great North
ern preferred started 3 better. Colo
RADIO Fuel and American Locomotive
advanced "a. and Brooklyn Rapid Trans
81 and Southern Pacific gained s. After
the early dealings the market made
further improvement and was strong
Southern Pacific established itself at
the highest price in its history, While
Union Pacific made new high record
for this year Reading Consolidated
Gas. and Amalgamated and SHELTERS
were others very active and strong.
Trading On Moderate Scale.
Trading was not on a very heavy scale,
but the business seemed to originate
with houses identified with the City
Bank and Union Pacific railroad COM
pany. Word has been Dassed rOund
Wall Street by the Standard Oil people
that they Will break any house that at
tempts to run a bear campaign. They
have frightened the professional trader
away from the short side of the mar
ket and have prices absolutely in their
control
The Morgan people are quietly watch
ing the performance and are not inter
fering because they are pledged 10 do
nothing to interfere with The drtiilcldl
prosperity until after election.
Failure of a small brokerage concern
on the Consolidated Exchange was an
rOunced. The London market was strong
but the American department was not
active.
on the curb market. AIelTose. Nipis-
sing. Goldfeld Consolidated and Bay
State Gas continued to be the leading
figures. Cotton was steady this morning
with August nearly 81 a bale higher.
Bull Talk in Wall Street.
The feeling Of doubt and hesitancy
which has pervsded Wall Street for ten
DAYS, practically passed away today,
and there is little else now but bull
talk. The temper of spectators seems
to be about what it was before the re-
cent slump began. while prices were
grandly soaring in the early weeks OF
the month of August. There were plenty
of predictions today that the market
IS now TO resume It's upward swing and
pass beyond the points reached two
weeks ago.
BY midday the market had shaken out
the selling for profit-taking, under
fair volume of business prices were
creeping slowly upward. All the leaders
were better than the opening prices and
most of the active stocks on the list
showed good gains The market is
buoyant and in good hands. Manlpula-
ton is less apparent and the situation
for the moment looks as If there would
be a period of Improvement similar 10
that attending the August rise in stocks.
on a fair volume of trading the mar
ket remained steady and strong through
the afternoon, closing at or near the
high prices of yesterday Toward the
close there was some selling for profits,
but the market prices were not seem
ingly affected.
