STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Stocks Showed Strength and
Prices Advanced at Close.

Stocks showed some inclinations tow
ard a recovery at the opening yesterday
morning. There was a great deal OF
scattered selling, due to accounts being
liquidated by commission houses where
the call for extra margins had not been
responded to by customers. There was
considerable bearishness In evidence
and the attempted uplift in prices en-
countered few difficult obstacles in ad-
verse sentiment. Amalgamated Copper
was one of the few stocks that opened
below Fridays closing; most of the open
ings showed fractional gains.
The buying that absorbed large blocks
OF stock, particularly in United States
Steel, seemed to make an impression on
traders as the morning went along.
They were puzzled to trace the source
Of tho buying which did not seem 10
come from the big interests, but was di-
versifed and apparently came from sew
eral minor sources.
The market retained its strength dur
ing the whole session, but there was
considerable stock supplied, and 1t
seemed evident that the confidence In
continued bull movement was not shared
by many who had been On the buying
side previously. Profit taking was
shown and there were also indications
of reduced holdings to relieve commits
sion house customers Of impaired mar
gins. The market in review presents
study from a technical point.
The last rise eliminated practically
at the end of April. and since that time
the declines have been sufficient to cause
the tape reader to change his position
for the present, as the range Of declines
shows from the high run g points in
United States Steel to 1885 points IN
Reading. Opinions as to the character
Of the peculiar atmosphere Cverhanging
the market differ among the best of
market judges. Among some it is con-
tended that politics plays the important
part. while others adhere to the idea
that the movement toward higher levels
has been too pronounced among the spe-
Gals and that a reaction was necessary
to bring about new basis for renewed
activity Of a bullish order. With the
market as with all other troubles, the
one idea theorist always is found. No
one cause can be assigned as re-
sponsible for the action Of the market.
Politics, overstimulation, temperamental
changes in the minds of traders, fire.
quently due to impressions gained from
some seemingly occult source the lack
of confidence Of the public in the near
return Of this country to a period of re-
newed prosperity and various other in
dlvidual reflections are contributing u
cast a damper on the sparkle of a bull
movement. And every one is asking,
What Will the market do?'

NEW YORK CURB.

Little or no interest was manifested IN
the market for curb securities. Trading
throughout the list was light, and confined
principally to one or two of the industrial
issues United Cigar Stores, after a sligh'
reaction, recovered. Marconi Of America

about a point. Brltish-American Tobacco
