GOOD BUYING. BETTER PRICES
Strong undertons in Market Saturday
 and Many Gains Recorded.

New York. Oct, 2O.--The closing ses- sion of the stock market for the week gave a pleasant final exhibition of strong undert0ne and left @ range Of gains which encouraged the bulls. The market opened with show of strength and trading assumed an activity which brought some irregularity, but prices in general held firm. The movement broadened the trading list, and towards the end of the first hour there was an increase of bullishness that sent the shorts to cover and forced prices to higher levels. The specials showed especially good tone and advanced easily. The standards in the main were purchased and in Union Pacific and United States Steel there was an impressive strength that carried senti- ment to the buying side. There was some question as to the kind of buying behind the market, but traders were favorably disposed to better prices, and there was little interest exhibited in the bear side, except in few certain issues.
 Near the close the market had a re- lapse and prices sold off from their high points. Bear selling aided some profit taking in lowering prices, but there appeared to be ample buying strength to absorb all offerings and keep quotations on a range of im- provement over Fridays final prices. There were a sufficient number of strong features to give the market individuality. although the volume of trading yesterday represented only fair activity, the total number of shares being 261,T00.

Strenuous Game at West Point Results in Single Touchdown.

West Point. N. Y. Oct. 20.-Yale's football team had its baptism of fire here Saturday on the plains in the an
 nual battle with the Army eleven, and when it was all over there were not very many still believing the terrible state of affairs in the Elm city. Twice in as many years the blue had raced out on this field that nestles beneath the Hudson highlands firm in the con- viction that it's team was the better one, only to find the soldiers batter ing their way to victory by superior strategy if not power. It was 9 diff ferent tale today, however. Pdssibly the Ellis themselves were confident of turning the tG<les after those two defeats of 1910 an5 1911. but the brig
 ade of ten thousand enthusiasts who made the trip to the reservation were in a mood to be shown, and the bulldog did show enough good football to score the only touchdown that was made in the game. This came in the first minute the second period, and the to 1t represented was all that there was to the game in the way of counting,
