S. S corporation has been tho fenturo of tho market. Both railroads and Industrials have participated In tho general advance, with short covering very urgent. In tlfo oarly dealing sonio llttlo hesitation was shown, but Strength developed nnd tho market mar-ket thereafter ruled broad and bouyant. All things considered, tho market nets as though It has had Its break and tho closing tonight holds out nipro pronilso tliun for some time." llutton. Now York, snys. "Tho buying today to-day was oC tho best kind Important railway deals nro under consummation and during tho next six months announcements will bo forthcoming forth-coming wblch will create materially higher vnlucs to ' our Important railroad securities. This fcamq factor applies to tho usual situation situa-tion where, greater commissions of capital aro reiKirlcd. . Ah regnrds tho money situation, thcro Is nothing unfavorable to nntlclpalo in this direction, nnd from tho fact that wo aro preparing, to undorwrlto $75,000,000 of new Japanese bonds, that would Indlcnto In Itself that money was quite plentiful. This mnrket will Ih) higher tomorrow and good securities ari safe I to buy on recessions." Dick Bros. New York, say: 'Tho market showed fs.trcngth throughout today, advances bolng peered nil through the list ns tho ro-sult ro-sult of .heavy, and ut times, urgent buying for both accounts. Leading railroads wore Htrong in thoi early dealings, but Inter leadership passed, to tho Industrials. Luto In the day tho loc.il traction stocks became very strong ami Just fit tho closo a scramble of short can led Union Pacific rapidly up to 13114. Thoro was no iibUh of Importance. Indications as to tho bank ;slntcmenl unreliable."' Mclntyro, New York, wiyu. "The sharp upturn up-turn In th6 slock market today was due to goncral rcbuylng of stocks told for both long nnd short accounts carllor In tho wook on thn belief that tho reactionary movement cul-mlnptrd cul-mlnptrd yesterday. From the action of tho gcndml mnrket It wnu very plain that tho Inrgcst nnd most Influential market Interests having accumulated most of thn stock thrown over' In tho slump, were In fuvor of a rally, and this vlow was stronglhcncd later by syn-dlcato syn-dlcato brokers keeping call money rules down by offers of lnrgo amounts. The action of tho inarkct tomorrow nnd next week will depend Mltlrnly on thn ,-ittltudn of tho Standard Oil and other largo market Interests nnd tho money nltuatlon ns likely to be disclosed by tho bunk uUilumcnl. ' Mnrshnll, Spiulir Co., New York, say: VThi curly trading wus a development of yos-ierdny'o yos-ierdny'o closing and during tho first hour tho inarkct readily absorbed offerings nnd rc-tnliied rc-tnliied both tone nnd strength. Later on good uyliig. tho general list showed further Mtrength and sensational advances wero recorded re-corded In several of tho Issue.
