Edent wave OF new buying.

the end OF the first first half
hour in one Of the most impress
Eive ""buIlish demonstrations Of the
week.
The failure Of any great volume
Of liquidation to reach the market
in the last two days and the vir-
ttal drying up of the source Of
supply of speculative stocks on 4

rs an evidence Of the surprising
strength Of the market at this
time.
The weekend business reviews
