BUOYANT IN TONE

NEW YORK, Aug. 3o.-The clearing up
of the atmosphere of gloomy apprehension
regarding the condition of E. H. Hartman
was manifest in financial circles we'll in
advance of the opening of the stock market
today.
The fright which seized the stock mar
ket community Friday night would have
been dissipated before the market closed
Saturday had the session extended to the
afternoon hour usual on week days As II
was, the afternoon period on Saturday and
the Sunday interval saw a steady growth
of confidence that the danger of Harri-
mans condition had been exaggerated.
The frankness of friends and members
of the family of the Anancler. in contrast
with the mystery which had been wrapped
about the subject since his return from
Europe and disappearance from public
view. took the ground from under the feet
of the alzrmists and rumor mongers. The
overextended short interest was rather se-
rious, as the first prices quoted at the stock
exchange this morning showed an instan-
tanecus cancellation of a great part of the
heavy losses suffered in the sharp decline
Of Saturday. The shorts themselves con-

to obtain stocks, warned by the tenor of
the news from Arden, and the preliminary
advances established in the London market
before trading had been resumed in New
York.
The Hartman. stocks were naturally most
affected, but the buoyant tone was common
to the whole list Opening gains of 1 to
more than 8 points over the closing prices
Saturday were general throughout. 1t was
asserted that many of the orders executed
at the opening were for small accounts of
would be investors who had been watching
for sharp decline to come into the
market.
The sales OF the first 1900 shares of
Union Pacific were at 200 to 200N
The Union Pacific was a dominant inhu-
ence on the market throughout the day.
Its occasional reactions on profit taking
brought pause in the general movement,
and when its advance was renewed aggres-
sively the whole list responded, although
in lesser degree. Union Pacific touched
2o2ss and closed only Il below that
Convertible and speculative bonds were
steady. Total sales (par value $3.50. 900.
United States bonds were unchanged on
