/ New York, Feb. 1S.--In the stock
| market today continued confidence was
| shown in the improving condition OF
| financial affairs and business every

and that the railroads and traction
companies are going to get square
deal This sentiment was expressed IN
prices for although there was consid-
cradle profit-talsing In the general list
.,>s>,x -~.yT~ ~s'aeiN fina~ss biGbA,E ard
there was real c.bIoyahey In Ie'ss
| issues.
What attracted most attention was
the better market for RAILROAD shares
| This was due to a mysterious report
from Washington that McAdoo's Ave-
year plan would be abandoned and that
the roads would be turned back 10
their owners much sooner than had
been contemplated. Improved senu-
of previous reports of arbitrary and
unfriendly action OF the government
| toward certain railroads.
! Improvement was also seen in the
| traction stocks as result OF intro
duction at Albany of a bill making II
possible to increase fares In New YORK
city.
| United Railways investment pre-
ferred shared In the Improvement OF
| fractions today for II is believed San
| Francisco will also give relief to its
railroad system.
Tobacco Product was very active and
moved to new high record again
| which. counting the 10 per cent stock
dividend recently paid means s7% for
| the original stock. There is also sym
pathetic Improvement In the price OF
United Cigar stores stock. American

Cigar and Loriliard shared in the Inn
provement.
In connection with .the sharp ad'
vance in General Motors II was said

2,teo shares In the stock.
Baldwin stock bought on the recent
advance Is still held as DEVELOPMENTS
