COMMENT ON MARKET.

Benjamin Woodruff. Of Post & Flagg
Just after the opening to-day prices
began 20 improve and the market ran
into substantial rally by midday; then
came some reaction, after which. as a
rule. prices improved again toward the
close. The market was irregular dur
ing the day. with an upward tendency.
Trading is professional. and the move
ment in the market represents chiefly
the efforts Of professionals TO secure
profit from swings first in one diTec-
uon and then the other In such a
market as The present 10 looks as If
the improvement might continue for a

Prices again made new low records for the ses-

the Sc mark under further liquidation and alb
sence OF support orders. About 25, 900 May no.
tees were circulated early and this caused some
pressure in the May position, although they
were soon stopped by prominent spot interests
and by the same houses which issued them,
