Evening Post
NEW YORK, March 23.-The sud-
den and vigorous advance on the
stock exchange today with perhaps
the largest business that has been
done since the reopening in Decem-
Der, may have had several causes. It
was primarily, no doubt, speculative
movement.
How far the movement may be
ascribed to inference that the war
may be shortened by the fall OF Aus
tria's Galicia stronghold and the ex-
pected entry of Italy into the cam
paign, it may be difficult to say. This
is perhaps more matter of senti-
ment than of expert circulation. Euro
pean stock exchanges certainly gave
faint response; at London, .:onsols
actually declined today.
AS rule, exchange on all other
European markets was weak, though
sterling bore the brunt of the move
ment.
