NY, MARKET STRONG;
Marine IS FEATURE
Sold Up More Than Ten Points.
Tomorrow's Outlook.

New York. Oct. 37.-Ths stock
market was strong today under
Leadership Of United States Steel and
Marine preferred. Sugar and the
munItion issues also showed great
Irecuperative power. Some stocks
gained almost a. much today a. they
had lost all week.
Three influences were responsible
for the remarkable change in sem
timent. They were the great sue
cess indicated for the Seconi Lib
erty Loan, the spreading belief that
the Steel Corporation at its meet
ing next week will not lower its
dividend allowance and the hope
that the Mercantile Marine will pro-
ceed to distribute assets and that
its example would be followed by
other corporations which have bulg-
ing treasures.
The feature OF the day was the
advance in Marine perferred. 1t
low of the previous day. For the
between high and low.
The belief was prevalent that the
sharp advance was the. prelude Of
the movement to pay back pre-
ferred dividends but some incredu-
lous devotees Of the street pointed
out that similar movements based
on the same hypothesis had been
taken place before without any dis
tribution of assets materializing.
While much Of today's streng 9Th
came from buying by shorts there
was general satisfaction among con-
structive trades that II required lit
tie to boost prices and that appar-
emily better things were in store for
the market.
If the liberty loan figures to be
announced tomorrow show subscrip-
tions totals anywhere near s5.o00,-
100000 there will probably be a
strong market on Monday.
Foreign exchange was featured by
increased strength in francs which
were over 5 points higher.
The bond market was quiet and
generally steady.
