New York, y. Y, Jan 3O-The ap-
pearance OF large purchasing orders
for the leading stocks strengthened
the market decidedly today, and trad
ing was more active, with a broad up
ward movement. Virtually every stock
commonly traded in was in brisk de-
mand, with advances reaching several
points in the most active issues. Sen
timent was influenced faVOrably by
evidence that the manipulation of Can
was losing its force in curbiEg sDecu-
lation. Can forged ahead steadily and
touched 45. despite frequent relapses on
prifit taking.
Bonds were steady.
Weakness in Southern Pacific, which
fell half d point below yesterday s
closing checked the upward movement
Dealings shrank to nominal proper
lions.
Realizing sales came too fast for the
market to digest readily and there was
a reaction amounting to about a point
in Amalgamated, Can and the Harrl-
mans. Near 1 o'clock the Can stock
showed the best prices Of the move
The market closed heavy. A drop
of one and a half points in Norfolk
& Western greeted the announcement
of a new issue Of convertible bonds
Sympathetic weakness was displayed
by the general market, with the down
ward movement gaining more moment
um as prices gave way under the min
gled effects of realizing and bear sell
ing. Can meanwhile advanced another
notch. RecessiOns from the highest
ran to about point in the important
shares

DEMOCRATS NOW HAVE
MAJORITY IN SENATE

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 3O.-With the
election of William salisbury as United
States senator from Delaware, the
Democratic strength in the next senate
swung from the preearious figure of
As, or exactly One-half of the senate,
to the safer total Of AZ, a majority Of
two.
Mr.. aulsbury's election, added to the
victory recently secured in Tennessee,
assures the Democratic party absolute
control of the senate after March +.
The vote of vice president Marshall
would have been the deciding factor in
any event, but the addition of another
vote gives the party leaders what they
believe to be a safe margin for tariff
and legislative action.
Contests stiu exist in New Hamp-
shire, West Virginia and Illinois, with
a total of four senators TO be elected
about whose political affiliations doubt
exists. A victory in any one OF these
states so materially would strengthen
the Democratic party that the senate
would be removed completely from the
element of uncertainty. The attitude
of the Progressives and the Progress
sive-Republicans upon tariff matters is
as yet unknown, but the margin OF
strength promised to the Democrats
count upon any combinations with the
PrOgressiYes-
Of the entire membership Of 96 SEN
atOrs, SO will hold over beyond March
4. OF these 30 are Republicans and 81
Democrats. The terms of 80 senators
expire in March and there is in addition
one vacancy in Illinois. Thus far II
Democratic senators have been elected
and the election of senator Bacon in
Georgia, is certain, making IS Demo-
Gratis to take the oath of office March
1. The opposition forces, including
both Republicans and Progressives
have elected II new senators. The
senate, after March 4, will stand as
follows, If the deadlocks are not broken
in Illinois, New Hampshire and West
Virginia: Democrats 40, Republicans
and Progressives 43, vacancies, four
