GENERAL TREND OF
STOCK LIST UPWARD

James A Pollock & Co.. investment
brokers, at lS9 South Main street, furnish
the following received over their prlvat &c
wires yesterday:
From Logan G Bryan, New York.
Trading was marked by a continuance OF
aggressive operations for the rise, though
at the outset some irregularity was wit
messed as a consequence of the unsettled
state OF American issues in London.
Which was engendered by conflicting re-
ports relative to the Mexican situation
AS the session progressed the nervous
ness OF shorts became more acute and
despite the fact tlat quite a little realiz-
ing by longs was in progress. the list
presented firm tone and closed at about
best prices.
Washington advlces were suggestive Of
desire that the administration conduct
Will not tend to undermine general bust
ness. The financial community has be-
come reconciled to the new currency and
banking measure and It seems likely that
the latter will be signed by the president
very shortly.
Lines OF securities held by commission
houses are relatively small. which, per-
haps. accounts for the ease vita which
security prices advance at this period.
and at the same time it is to be consid-
cred an element of strength for it rather
is OF good proportions and is likely to
assert Itself later on.
We dislike advising purchases on sharp
upturns. but the general trend OF the list
still strikes us as being upward
From Paine, Webber g. Co.. Boston,
There is no mistake about this being a
real market. There has been a radical
change in sentiment the past few days
and the attitude OF Washington toward
big business is very reassuring all along
tle line. The passage of the currency
bill viii remove the last element OF un-
certainty. The reaction In business has
been discounted by the drop in the mar
ket for the past year and the big men
are now buying stocks on the theory that
practically the worst has been seen and
the currency bill and the tariff bill have
been fully discounted
The feature Of the market today was
the strength and good buying In the stan
dard issues and bonds. This is usually
a sure indication OF a. decided turn In
the trend OF the market and we believe
that the present rally will be sharp and
Will extend at least five points higher
