Southern Pacific, re- gently one of the weakest of the trans-continental group, made an in itial advance of 1 X and Union Paci- 1c, Reading and U. $. Steel moved forward substantially. Bethlehem Steel, however, was the feature of the industrial division, rising over point.

 concerned, we may look for increaS- ing activity and sharp nucCuAuon6. T While conditions favor higher prices in the long run, sharp setbacks are to

 to either side would have very de-
 cisive effects upon market values.
 Thus far there has been TO extens-

 immediate prospect of such con- l tingency Disaster abroad might
 however, induce a, very considerable
 return of our stocks. which we might
 readily take if offered at bargain l prices. A very striking illustration o1 improved conditions here was the
