NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-Specula-
tive purchases for the rise on a
large scale, and speculative or
profit-taking sales that Mt times
were on an equally large scale made
the stock market an extremely
lively one today. so far as transac.
tons during the FIVE hours OF bust
ness were concerned.
But In the play OF their conflict
ing influences they also made the
market 80 extremely confused that
frequently II was difflcult to denote
any definite trend to the price move
ment at all.
Opening with series of advances
over last week. stocks showed an
initial strength that was at once
accepted as an invitation to profit
taking sales. These appeared forth
with. and In such volume that rapid
succession OF buying orders was
necessary to keep the list from
moving of in a fashion not 10 the
liking OF those who would always
have a week begin well on the stock
exchange.
As 1t was, a number Of sharp de-
clines occurred before the influence
OF buying orders became dominant
again.
United States Steel declined 1.2
points and, although II improved
with other active shares In the re-
covery which followed the early de-
cline. 1t failed to make up all the
early loss.
Railway shares were fnr more
steady and consequently relatively
more strong than tho industrials.

Opening Of Communications
With Capital.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Consu-
ular renorts today to the state de-
partment said Villa appeared to have
gained the advantage over Carranza's
forces in the first days fighting near
Celaya. where 1t is estimated forty
five thousand men are engaged.
One report said Obregcn and two
OF his commanders were surrounded
and their retreat cut off from all di-
rections. The final outcome of the
battle is still in doubt.
A victory for Villa will mean the
resumption of communications be-
tween Mexico City and the American
border. Many quarters behave here
that the outcome will indicate which
of the two major factions Is to domi-
nate.
