MORE VITALITY
IN STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. Sept 15-The speculation
in stocks today gave greater evidence of
vitality and of naturalness than. for long
time past. Operations were not confined
so entirely to handful of stocks or even'
as has been the case often, to three stocks,
Union Pacific. Reading and United States
Steel. Those three stocks were by no
means obscure in the days tradings, but
they did not absorb so per cent OF tho
aggregate dealings, as they have done on
more than one occasion recently.
News to account for these movements
was mot forthcoming always. or even gen.
erally. and conjecture was obliged to fall
on some general explanation. which would
apply either to business prospects or to
oppcrtunity for speculation, or both. Of
the former class was the Interpretation
placed on President Taft's speech in Bos-
ton. The chief executives Endorsement OF
the plan for a central bank of issue as a
means of solving the car problem had
good effect on sentiment in the financial
districts. So had the cheerful belief ex-
pressed that we are ION the eve of another
great business expansion and era of pros
perity."
A good augrry of the effects of the
coming trip was drawn from the texture
of the preliminary address. Considerable
speculative activity seemed to have been
prompted by this consideration.
Of material influence the days mar
ket was the report from Pittsburg of the
visit TO the steel works there of French
banker. who. it was assumed, was secur-
ing information TO pave the way to list
the stock of the United States steel corpo-
ration upon the bourse of Paris. The
grounds for this assumption were the
discreet refusal of the French banker to
say anything on the subject. 1t was the
most influential factor in carrying United
States steel to its new record level. Read
ing also touched new record price on
the belief that some plan for segregation
of its coal company was maturing. The
further Tightening of the money market
had not the slightest effect in checking
the speculation. Most of the days call
leans were made at 8 per cent, but the
rate did not rise above that.
Bonds were firm. Total sales (par value),
s4.o5o, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on
call.
