Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. October 15.-Further i'm
provement in today's stock market seemed
to emphasize the growing freedom from
fear Of money market complications,
which began to make itself evident
around the middle Of the week.
There was indeed some talk today OF
the probable character of tomorrow S
reaction which developed in stocks last
week was owing wholly or even sub
stantially to the readjustment Of interest
rates or to some one of those peculiar
causes which occasionally upset stock
market calculations and usually remain
matter of guesswork. the facts seem
to be that the Wall street community has
decided that active money conditions,
which are owing to active industrial con-
ditions, do not necessarily lay an embargo
on advancing prices for securities.
There is sound sense in this view, be-
cause security values are made by gen.
eral conditions, and when general condi-
lions are good and growing better sta
tiOnary or declining security prices would
be anomalous. There is also historical
warrant for this view. but Wall street,
after It's nature and habit. has to redis-
cover familiar truths every little while.
In the Judgment of some Of the best
informed minds In the financial world. the
country is entering on period of record
breaking volumes in business and indus
try, and next year will witness a great
expansion commercially. This being so.
the money market may be expected to
continue active and strong, but what is
there In such prospect to prevent the
quoted values of securities from measur-
ing the actual values made by record

No Lack Of Gold.

Meanwhile there is excellent authority
for the statement that If our money mar
ket needs gold there is no unwillingness
in London. even in the Bank of England,
to supply it. The further statement may
be vouchsafed on the same excellent au-
thority that 1t Is more than doubtful II
there is any such need for increasing by
gold impOrtations in the near future our
reserve basis of credits.
The stock market opened strong all
around this morning and very active. In
the early dealings. despite rather large
volume OF prof1t-taking sales, further ad-
vances were scored and then some irregu-
1arity developed. but around midday prices
hardened. and in the early afternoon the
list showed q tendency toward further i'm
provement.
Short covering unquestionably contrib
uted substantially to the strength Of the
market. particularly In the United States
Steel and Amalgamated Copper, but in
every direction there was a retirement of
commitments for the fall.
In addition there was quite plainly ag-
eressive, even urgent buying of q more
important nature, and speculative senti-
ment was sufficiently encouraged by these
signs to bring about a moderate commits
sion house participation in the days deal
ings. United States Steel was clearly the
market leader, both in respect to activity

Heavy Purchase Of Steel.

In the first hour the transactions in this
stock aggregated about 40 per cent of
the total dealings Of 10000 shares for
the whole market during that period The
stock was bought In very large lots and
the price advanced vigorously. AS for the
influence which United States Steel exerts
upon the rest of the market, 1t is too OBJ
vious TO require proof: nevertheless this
important industrial shared the market
leadership with Union Pacific. which i'm
parted buoyancy to most of the railroad
issues.
New York Central was about the ONLY
conspicuous railroad stock which mani
tested somewhat heavy tone There
were sharp advances in the Rock Island
stocks, an effect no do, ,bt of the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas transaction announced
this week. which also probably accounts
for the strength of Chicago and Alton.
Denver and Rio Grah@e scored a sub-
stantial advance on considerations con-
nected with reports that the Chicago.

Gould Developments.

There is apparently some reason for
believing that interesting developments in
connection with the Gould railroads are
under way. and that some definite stage
has been reached in the negotiations re
lating thereto.
The railroad equipment stocks responded
vigorously to the rapid growth of business
represented by the accommodating orders
for cars and locomotives. In .many d.
rsctions there were sharp advances on
small amounts of business. showing. per-
haps. to what extent the market had been
lately oversold.
There was no quotable change in the
money market. but there was less demand
for time loans, and an easier tone Com
pilations OF the money movements of the
week indicated a cash loss by the banks
of about $7.OOO.0OO. the bulk of which
resulted from transactions with the sub
treasury.
