Great Day on Wall Street,

1t was a great day in Wall Street yes
tterday. The opening was firm. In the
second hour great strength developed.
Up to noon 1890 shares were traded in,
about six times the two-hour average for
the last month.
And stocks rose sharply. with the move

by Union Pacific, Reading, Copper, and
Smelling, with steady gains well main
tained, although not to the highest.
Mexican and California Petroleum were
also active, but they were both weak and
under pressure.
London buying was a decided help to
the strength in the list. Through London
and Paris orders at least $1,000 shares of
stock were purchased. Just before the
close Of our market London put in re-
newed orders in Steel and Union Pacific.
Brokers were busy cndeavoring to ac-
count for the sharp squirt of activity. and

That 1t was useless to discuss the rea-

That 1t had to be met. and the only
way It could be met, having proper con-
sideration OF the property. was by his
resignation: that he felt that everything
that he had done was and would In
time be justified. The resignation was
accepted by the board.
The rumor that the government u
about to abandon suit against Steel
seems to us to be highly improbable. II
would certainly be poor politics. and
there is no special reason why It should
be abandoned. Something has induced
heavy buying Of Steel both for the long
and short accounts, and IL seems prob
able this buying Is predicted on the

At that, there may be some actual
foundation for this rise.
But one may be sure that II Is not

culated during the last ten days, and

one is denied.

When II Develops.

It looks as If there would be nothing
to do but wait for the developments upon
which this movement is based, if there
are any. II not. then the source of the
actual buying would be interesting any
way.
The confident promise of $40 and Sis

ton, il which case it will furnish ex-
element in the jaded heated term. At
present II is a problem not easily
solved, but the next few weeks or months
ought to tell the story.
And on Monday there will be just as
big a gallery on change as there was
