Leaders in Rise.
Bv RROADAN WALL

New York, Dec. 1.-THE stock mar
ket having discounted everything but
victorious Kaiser marching up
Broadway, had q sharp recovery to-
day. After d weak opening the mar
ket improved quietly at first but
finally became bouyant and closed in
the midst Of q sharp advance and at
the highest figures of the day. In
the morning about 20 active stocks
either made new low records or
touched the low ones made the pre-
vlous day. The close was from to
points net higher with steel, Union
Pacific and Reading the leaders.
Trading was well distributed. The
principal feature of the day was the
cancellation of selling orders. Many
customers made their appearance in
the street In response to calls sent
out the night before for additional
margin. The rally gave everybody
an opportunity to find more money
and, therefore, further failures are
not feared.
Money went to per cent which is
recognized as the highest price II can
reach without a Congressional investi-
cation.
Conferences are being held regard
ing prices OF copper and steel to be
furnished to the government are not
expected to result in any basic
changes.
Announcement of another suit
against the Bethlehem Steel to de-
clare $50, ,oO0, 600 of its stock issue il
legal had no effect on the market be-
cause so many suits are brought by
friendly persons who settle disputed
points.
AS result of the rally in the mar
ket many selling orders were can
eelled and a much better sentiment
prevailed.
