NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York Oct 2l.-Stocks rose buoy
antly. today. Not for weeks had the
street seen such an outpnrst of strength
Leading shares gained from one to Tour
points, with advances of as much as
eight points in exceptional cases and the
amount of business in the first hour s
trading was nearly as great as The total
for yesterdays session.
1t was II bad day for the bears. The
advance was achieved largely at their
expense, tor short covering was respon-
sible for the heaviest buying. In Eteel
and Union Pacific especially large
amounts were bid in by the bears. There
was some increase in activity OF opera
tons for the day but it did not appear
that the bulls had as yet large follow
ing.
The sharp rise in American stocks in
London gave the market its f1rst I'M
pulse upward and created alarm among
the shorts. The upward movement was
helped by news from Washington that
the Interstate Commerce Commission had
apr owed an increase i'll certain freight
rates in the Missouri river district Trad
ers made of this decision market fac
tor of first importance and 10 it, more
than TO any other influence WAS the sns-
tanned strength of the list attributed.
Although the decision affected only a
comparatively small amount of the rai,-
roads business. tine Interpretation of the
street was that more liberal policy OH
the part of the commission was indicat-
ed Further reports from Washington
s that important amendments would be
made in the currency bill, affecting pro-
visions which have met with hardest
opposition. also helped 10 stimulate the
market Increased speculation was ia
eilitated by conditions in the money
market. Although there was no further
essential change in time rates, the tone
reflected the improved position of the
banks as shown in the last statement
and offerings of money for foreign lend
ers during the last few DAYS. Bonds
showed general strength. with good
inquiry for some low priced issues. To-
