PRICES ADVANCE
IN ALL DIRECTIONS
Vigorous Buying of Stocks
and Bonds Continues.
Sentiment Optimistic

New York, January 22.-vigorous
buying of stocks and bonds continued
today. Prices rose in all directions
Taking in connection with yesterdays
advance, it was more like a genuine
bull market than any which the street
has seen in many months. Sentiment
was decidedly optimistic. for it was
felt that the movement in securities
had as a basis a definite improvement
in fundamental conditions.
Investment buying continued on a
large scale. The high grade investment
stocks. in fact, led the advance. Anon g
the speculative favorites there were
signs of profit taking at times and
their rise was less rapid than yester-
day. In the bond market also deal
ings We're unusually active, transac-
tions being the largest of any day in
almost two years. In some cases the
advance in bonds amounted to l to 2
points.
There were further evidence today
of improvement in the general situation.
The syndicate which yesterday pur-
chased New York states s51,000,000 is
sue of IA per cent bonds announced
that they had all been sold within less
than two hours. 1t was understood
that the price was 1914. During the
day the bonds were quoted in the open
flarket as high as 10SH. There ap-
peared sale of an issue of this kind at
a figuhe considerable in excess of what
was expected a short time ago. gave
some indication of the improvement in
the investment market.
Reduction of the English and Ger
man bank rates gave evidence that the
change for the better in monetary con-
ditios was world wide. London bought
Steel Amalgamated and Southern Pa
cific here. while selling some Reading
and Union Pacific. Southern Pacific
strong showing recently was attrib-
uted in part to renewed interest in
that stock on the part of European
banking interests.
Better reports came from the copper
trade and it was said some business
was being done at 145sc. Boston was
buyer of coppers here.
Sales, par value, $7,300,000. United

New York. January 22.-(Special) }
Europe expects a bearish ginners' re-
port tomorrow, and was longer than ex-
pected in face of good deNand for
prompt delivery. The same condition
exists here. the market opened dull. 8 ia
5 points lower. and closed at about
these prices.
Spots continue to be in good demand.
while the market as a whole was an
exceedingly dull one. The trade Is un-
decided, they would be bearish on the
ginners were it not for the continued
demand from all sources for cotton
They think, however. that unless specu-
lation enters the market on the pros
pect of better trade. that the spinnors
dc emands viii be supplied without caus-
Ing an advance.
