gift to his people on record New Years
Day The weight limit on parcel post
packages to be carried In the first two
zones-that is, to any point within $50
miles of their starting point-win be in
creased from 20 to so pounds. At the
same time the limit of weight on pack
ages in the third. fourth fifth sixth,
seventh and eight zones, or to all points
in the United States beyond the 15O-mile
limit, will be increased from Il to 20
pounds. Beginning next month for the
first time books are to be admitted to the
parcel post at the present third class
rate This increase in weight of pack
ages will, in the estimation of some au-
thorities, absorb twe-thirds Of the traffic
hitherto carried by express companies.

favorable weather map than had been
posted for several days. Offerings, how
ever. were well absorbed by buyers who
were encouraged by the growth Of bullish
sentiment yesterday and by reports of
buying by spot interests. Reports from
the belt indicated that little rain fell over
night and that temperatures were more
seasonable At the end of the first hour
of business prices were to points
under yesterdays close.
Toward the middle of the morning the
market strengthened in a decided man
ner on buying. which was said to have
started among prominent spot interests.
Shorts covered and more general buying
for long account was in evidence than for
long time past. Commission houses
handled a fair volume Of outside pur-
chases. Some of the buying was based
on the forecast of cloudy and unsettled
weather for large partof the belt but
much of it seemed to result from the be-
lief that prices would work higher on bull
lish sentiment and the theory that a re-
action was due. At the highest, prices
were to 10points over yesterdays last
quotations. The close was steady at a net
rise of 3 to Z points

were quickly pulled up. Lehigh Valley
was strongest. opening at an advance OF
a point Canadian Pacific lost a point
Some restraint was placed on the buy
ing of Steel by the losses incurred
through the shutting down of various
plants in the flooded district. Reading,
Canadian Pacific and Amalgamated
spurted upward in vigorous fashion with
the whole market showing evidence or the
resumption OF energetic. operation for the
rise
The market closed strong. Indications
that much of the buying of the week was
of an accumula tive character impressed
the bears TO-DAY and there was eagerness
to cover.
Diminishing fears regarding the flood
catastrophe and belief that the property
loss would be smaller than at first sup
posed added confidence.
