day recalled boom times. The degree of
enthusiasm shown could not have been
exceeded in recent months. Sales came
near reaching the 10000 .--iares mark.

tone, and, any reaction it is declared,
will be temporary.
Many important gains were scored.
Trading in bonds exceeded S.000,o0o.
Heavy profit taking failed to check the
bEllish sentiment. Blocks OF steel COM
mon from 5000 to 10,oI0 shares each were
quickly absorbed by anxious buyers, and
the price rose from 647s and closed at
6J5s- Union Pacific advanced two points,
closing at 161 1-a. and Southern Pacific
made the new high figure, closing at
81 1-a: Atchison, st. Paul; Louisville and
Nashville and Southern Railway pre-
ferred were in good demand
Copper stocks Were actively higher,

Steel Car and Railway Steel Springs were
in demand at rising prices. Pittsburgh
Coal issues developed activity and
strength; the preferred gaining more
than two points.
Corn Products Refining that had been
slowly creeping up for several days made
further gain on the rumor that pend
ing litigation would be amicably settled.
Advances in prices during the past
week in many cases have been sharp.
Steel has gained 1-2 points, Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific almost as
much.

shares including Ontario, Erie, Southern

Rappard, minister from the Neither

here that a way probably would be

AS to how this might be accom-
plished, the minister did not attempt
70 say. He added, however, that tho

Dutch territory unawares recently
were still intorned.
The Dutch army. said Chevalier var
Rappard, will defend Hollands neu
