STOCK MARKET
HAS FIRM TONE
Volume of Trading Small
Call Money Is Lower
Gains at Close.

Better sentiment in London, IN
fuenced largely by the excellent tone of
the monetary market abroad, TO a de-
gree was responsible for the firm open
ing on the New York Stock Exchange
yesterday. Had it not been for con
tinued uncertainty in the Mexican STU
alton a buoyant stock market might
have been witnessed in view OF the
suspicious beginning, which recorded
gains for Union Pacific. Reading
Amalgamated Copper and other leaders
in their initial transactions. The APP
parently strong technical position OF
stocks offered every inducement 10 the
bull operators TO put prices higher, as
on even moderate buying sood re-
Spouse was made, due TO the DISPOSE
ton of the shorts TO cover.
In the early trading New York, New
Haven & Hartford was a strong feat
ure and exhibited good buying, which
advanced the price of that stock, but
in the market on the whole during the
forenoon the tone was duh, while the
trend was toward firmness. Rumors
were current regarding early dividend
action on marlborough metropolitan
preferred and good earnings in all the
local transactions, which stimulated in
terest in these securities, and they
shared in the Improvement enjoyed by
the active leading issues. An eXcep-
ton to this favorable side of the situa-
ton was q heaviness in Peoples Gas,
Pittsburgh Coal and few specials, but
they were not very active and failed TO
affect the other issues on the list.
In the early afternoon there was an
absence Of interest in trading and
business reached a state Of stagnation
that WI even worse than was shown
on Monday, and brokers were offered
no opportunity TO secure profits
through price fluctuations. In the clos
ing hour there was q development of
strength and some activity that caused
a scrambling of the shorts TO cover, and
left the final quotations with an array
Of gains in practically all the leading
issues, both standards and specials.
Measured by the Importance Of the
days business from n standpoint Of
volume. yesterday was of minor con-
sideration than on Monday. The
money market offered inducement for
trading, as call loans were renewed a a
lower rate. and after opening at per
cent closed at 2la per cent. Time
money appeared to have a softer tens
dency, while in the mercantile paper
market there was a slightly freer
movement. The resignation Of W. c.
Brown from the presidency of the New
York Central had no appreciate eff
feet on the market. but was a subject
Of general discussion throughout the
financial district. Mexico was not lost
sight Of in the talk of the day and cur
rency legislation came in for some at
| tention, especially in view of a possible
adjournment Of Congress this coming
Saturday.
