new YORK STOCK MARKET
Many Securities Carried to High
Levels by Bulls.
OPERATIONS SHOW REAL DEMAND
Advance Assia Noteworthy for
Strength shown by Minor spe-
cisIties, bat Lenders Are
ALSO In Good Demand.

NEW YORK, March 5.-There was an
other outburst of bullish enthusiasm In
the local stock market today which car
RED many securities 10 new high level
stration In the first hour was unusually
impressive by reason Of the extraordinary
activity, something like 10000 shares
changing hands. Operations embraced
far more than the usual number of is
sues and reflected greater breadth and
more genuine demand
Extensive profit taking followed the
rise. with another period Of comparative
dizziness, but offerings must have been
we'll taken, judging from the slight i'm
preston on quoted values.
The advance was again noteworthy for
the strength shown by some of the minor
specialties, but leading stocks also held
consistently strong, especially the coppers.
IN the railway group there was a further
demand for the Fries, which sent the
common stock up TO within fraction OF
last years high figure.
The activity Of these issues was at
tended by rtinors of purchase for control
by the Hill interests. These rumors
have served on previous occasions and
were no more confirrnabie today than
before.
Gould stocks also made a good show
Ing, the rise being based on the generally
accepted idea that the lines OF that sys-
TEN are again becoming factors In the
western and southwestern fields Other
low priced railway shares were In fair
request. but the lmpeiling motive OF some
was obviously OF pool origin. Among
the standard railway stocks, Illinois Gem
trial was conspicuous for extreme weak
ness, which created little surprise In
view OF the recent unfayorable statements
Of earnings.
Final dealings reflected mixture of
short selling and further profit taking.
Dealings were light, with alternate frac-
tlonal gains and losses. but net results
favored the bull account In the main.
even though gains In some OF the leaders
was completely wiped out.
Total dealings aggregating T32 900 shares
were the largest with few exceptions. In
some weeks Americans were among the
strong features of the London market,
with very decided rise IN Canadian
Pacific. which was followed here. Some
concern Is being expressed in London.
In shares OF the tin and other metal
companies
In fact tin shares slumped abruptly
In that market later In the day, when
rumors Of financial embarrassment to
some traders were current.
Local banks are threatened with an
other loss OF cash this week, albeit the
drain promises TO be small. A further
loan expansion Is not improbable to-
gether with another decrease OF reserves.
Bonds were flrmer. with especially
large dealings In the Erie issues Total
sales, par value. amounted 10 1851. 900.
United states 70, coupon, advanced Y per
