Stock Opinions.

Finley, Barrel e. Co. - We believe
that the advance in the market is more
than mere rally and would suggest
that stocks be purchased on every re
action of a point or more and that
profits be taken on the sharp rallies,
The strong banking interests are ad-
vising purchases for investment &C

Logan & Bryan.-The safest move
may be to buy on the weak spots but
i'm so doing would put stop loss orders

Farson. Son & Cove believe that
on any reaction stocks of substantial
merit win prove profitable purchases.

of the market is strong considering

the cable b tween the Magdalen

forty letters sealed in cans was
picked up on the Cape Briton coast
yesterday by persons living near
the shore. The letters were re-
ceived by the postof1ce authorities
today and duly sent to their re-
spective addresses. Tides had car
ried the barrel sixty miles across
the Gulf of St. Lawrence in ten
days.
