FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STRONG,
Over 200 Separate and Distinct Issues
Were Traded In.

New York April 15.-Although the
volume of business was slightly under
that of last Friday. today's stock
market surpassed all records for con-
siderably over a year in the strength
and scope Of it's upward sweep. Over
200 separate and distinct issues were
traded in, among these being num-
Der Of stocks whose long period of
inactivity had all but caused them to
be forgotten
One of the reassuring features of
the session was the comparative quiz
escence of Bethlehem Steeel which
remained in retirement after its early
advanc and closed with a. one point
loss The entire list, with a few I'M
important exceptions, rose under the
irresistible influence Of an avalanche
of new buying orders. From time to
time this was partially neutra1ized
by renewal of selling for profits on
an enormous scale. In the final hour
recessions of a point or two resulted
but net gains of two to five points
were recorded in various stocks, while
among inconspicuous speCialties even
greater advances were made.
Union Pacific, United States Steel
and other speculative favorites repeat
ed their high prices Of a day or two
ago and many other stocks of high
and low degree rose to levels unequal
led in several years. Almost the only
stocks to reflect backwardness were

even these losses were normal in COM
parisen with their gains of the past
few weeks.
Engagement of $1,000, 900 gold from
| Canada and limitations of additional
! imports from the Orient were among
the more interesting developments
| bearing upon the general financial
situation. Exchange on Germany was
| a trifle ffrmer and rernittances to
London showed no material change in
that quarter
Americans were Irregular in Lon
don. Canadian issues being lower, with
a better demand for transcontinentals
The Bank Of England reported a de-
cided gain in its gold holdings, the
| first in several weeks. together with a
slight Strengthening of it's reserve liza
| bilities.
Total sales of stocks amounted to
1,250,000 shares.
