STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Active Trading and Higher
PriCeS-StoCkS Average More.

Liberal trading with decidedly bull
opening Of the stock market YESTERDAY
The range OF trading broadened as the
market advanced. but the leaders OF
other days were left in the shadow of
passing movements, while new Rich
monds pursued an upward course
toward higher levels. Such stocks as
Pittsburgh Coal preferred, Southern
Railway, Atchison, United States Steel,
American Smelling and Refining and
the equipment issues led the process
sion, which was inspired by bull senti-
ment. Northern Pacific and Great
Northern both gave a better record
than on Tuesday Amalgamated cop
per showed gain OK on its opening
price above Tuesdays close, and r,i-
mors of higher metal prices and larger
sales were accredited as the reason for
the strength In this stock. The market
retained its strength as whole and
there was little but optimism in its ac-
ton during the first hour Of the session.
A disposition 10 rest and slight re-
cesson from high figures were shown
after the somewhat vigorous period or
an hour had passed. but the undertone
preserved strong appearance, and
such offerings as were made suggested
no inclination on the part Of the bears
10 attempt 10 weaken the market. The
market relapsed into quiet period OF
restfulness. but with an evidence Of
strength which seemed ready to re-
spond to any action requiring special
attention, Little spurts of bullish ac-
tivity were shown in Corn Products.
from these activities there was little TO
indicate a tendency 10 push the mar
ket higher during early afternoon trad
ing. As the session drew near its clos
ing period the steel and iron stocks be-
came features and reached higher lev
els. In addition to United States Steel,
Bethlehem Steel Republic Iron and
Steel, Sloss- Sheffield and Great North
tIu NJib were SNiOlS Oli w lOil
sdvices that the steel tariff revision
bill would be vetoed by the President.
Pittsburgh Coal common showed an
inclination TO advance on rumors Of
possible dividend Trading following
the special advance in the steel and
iron issues became irregular, and profit
taking caused a change IN the price
Levels Of most Of the active stocks. but
at the close the list showed advances
in most stocks for the day News from
home sources was of no consequence:
the most important in influencing the
markets action came through foreign
channels. American stocks in London
closed strong. and the news of better
public interest there stimulated trading
here. AS a whole the market belonged
to the bulls. and the absolute law Of
supply and demand, SO far as the offer
! ings OF the day were concerned, was the
cause OF the advance.
