that all temples came to be known

MEX YORK. May 15.-Today
stock market showed rather distinct
ly the growth Of that strain which
must accompany a prolonged move
ment OF prices in one direction
whether the movement has simply
reached an adequate level to repre-
sent truly the new tasis of value or
has overrun It.
The market gave evidence early
today that the task OF sustaining
prices was growing burdensome in
the face of the increased volume Of
offerings that had to be absorbed for
that purpose. The protection of the
market, however, was not abandoned
There was a vigorous rally towards
the last.
Forecasts of the bank statement in
dictated a possibility of some decline
in the strength Of position Of the
banks. The takings of cash from the
market on account of the withdrawal
Of government deposits and of gold
exports apparently have outweished
the inflow of cash from interior points
Consideration must be given also IN
the money market outlook TO the pros
