The Rise Continuel.

A striking feature Of the rise in the
market yesterday and indeed for several
days back has been the deliberate char
acter Of the buying. Prices have worked
up quietly without excitement Total
transactions for two days last week
reached million shares all told. but &.
can hardly be said that the volume of
trading has been commensurate with the
extent of the advance or With the fact
that prices have been working into new
high levels. Particularly no scramble for
stocks has been witnessed. such AS would
suggest q covering OF shorts, and because
OF this some people are ready TO infer
that the short interest has been sub
stantially eliminated. And yet the mar
ket latterly has been OF . sort TO en-
courage the substitution Of . new
short account for an old ona The big
advance must have furnished q constant
temptation to epeculAtors beartshiy IN
olined To sell stocks last Friday and Sat-
urday. On tho other hand. such SALES
may b discouraged by the fact that tlle
averages are really low. The cautious
spsoulator b inclined to think twice of
attempting to night the tendency when
prices are only a little way from the
bottom. II Il b admitted that the miin
trend Of prices ie really upward yester-
days spectacle Of the continuance of las,
