show of strength at any point In the list It cannot be said that news In the ordinary ordin-ary sense had anything to do with the extraordinary buoyancy of the market although rumors were plenty and

decisively Influenced by the movement of these Two slocks nland out conspicuous even In this list the price movement which was astonishing throughout These are Delaware Hudson and Rock Island The

the opening and was forced launder la-under last night It was not until late In thd day that It assumed the leadership leader-ship of tile market when It was rushed up by rapid stages on the purchase of blocks of thousands of shares to 151 at which point It closed at an extreme ilso from the lowest of 13i points The buying of time grangers seemed to bo based largely on general considerations
