VICTORIES LIFT
MARKET LEVEL
Stocks Close at Top Prices
with Active Demand
from All Points.

New York, Sept. 27.-Oficial an
of the capture of Strum-
nitza by the British electrified the
stock market today at time when
II was already, bouyant as the result of
allied victories on the West front.
Bulgaria's plea for an armistice had
excited the street in the morning. The
result was that stocks closed at top
prices with gains ranging from to
9 points and with an active demand
from all parts of the country.
The market was a perfectly natural
one. IL broke all restraints of the
bankers money pool and stocks were
bought without regard to the money
market. The fact OF its being Friday
helped the speculative situation, for
purchases made today do not have TO
be taken care of until Monday.
1t is believed that any stocks Of
fered for liquidation from now on will
be quickly absorbed because peace
seems to be within the very near
future. Subscriptions for the liberty
loan will probably be far in excess
OF what the government wants. The
enthusiasm with which the loan will
be subscribed is illustrated by the
$40, 600 subscription announced for
the U. S. Steel Corporation.
steel the Leader.
United States Steel was the nat
ural leader today. and although 1t
advanced only ala points. its ad-
vance was impressive because of the
huge total of money involved. The
stock that attract ed most attention
aside from Steel was Mexican Pc
troleum. which made a gain of 6%
points. Texas was up 10Y points.
Hide and Leather preferred 4. Cigar
Stores 2. International Paper more
than 2. and numerous others a point
more.
The prices touched by Mexican
Petroleum. Rumeley preferred and
Steel foundTies were high records
for the year. Even local fractions
were stronger. Interborough Con-
solidated preferred being up a point
and q half.
NirH inia-West Virginia bonds had
a further advance of more than fouI
points. The war news is helping
these. too, for the war Is making
the public sensitive to honor among
States. There are many purchasers
of bonds Of States in this country
who wonder whether. now that
governments are clearing their con-
sciences. there will not be a clean
ing up OF rCpudiated issues.

and the market turned weak.
Local receipts Wednesday were es-
timated at 10000. being lighter than
many traders expected. nearly 5000 less
than a week ago and less than half as
large as a year ago. First half OF the
week offerings totaled $4,000. nearly
1000 more than the same period last
week, which included holiday, and
around 10000 less than the correspond
ing three days a year ago.
SIX outside western markets had A.
900 Wednesday. Adding the Chicago
run. seven markets were credited with
$4,000. or 1000 more than a week ago
and 1000 more than the corresponding
Wednesday a year ago, when receipts
beyond Chicago were comparatively
moderate. Three days receipts total
ed 1874, 900, or $1,000 more than the same
period last week and 5000 less than
the correspond ding time year ago.
Sheep.
The sheep division also was bur-
dened by heavy run, due to the ar
rival OF belated trains.
