An Improvement la tho London market for American socurltlos over tho double holiday hero Influenced a strong nnd animated opening. Tho stocks most In request were Northern Pa cific, Heading, nnd Bouthoru Hallway issues nnd SI. l'aul. The first and last named proved to bo prominent features of tho inarkoU A number of other stocks were dealt In ostcn slvcly and sovcral of them, notably O., II. and Qulncy and Susrar Itellnlni;, tnado ma terial prourcss toward a higher level. Tho most oxtcnslvo transactions wero In Northern Paclllc proferrcd, which closed nciirly 1 points higher than on Saturday. Tho Northern Poeillo common also received more nttcntlon than for soiiio tlmo past at a not advance of ncarl U points. Thero was aggressive buying of both Btoeksthat notonlj caused a local short interest to cover, hut compelled foreign sellers In this markit to rcvorso their position. Tno move ment in Heading securities was less pronounced than that in the Northern I'aclllc Issues; still, it had a decided effect upon tho remainder of tho market, Loulsvlllo nnd Nashvlllo and the Bouthern Hallway Blocks were unfavorably lnlluonrod after tho early dealings by ndv lees from tho South of the appearance of jellow fever at various ports. Tho professional ele ment endeavored to mako a good deil of capital out of this occurrence, and ap parently succeeded in Influencing somo speculative holders of various Southern rallwaj securities, who overlooked a number of Important fncts, namely, that the epidemic mentioned has novcr mado serious progress In the United States when it has appeared as late In U10 season ns n has this time, nud that tho sinltnry provisions for mooting and controlling the disease havo for many years past been ef fective In preventing It from making extensive ravages. Ttiojcllow fever scaro is worked periodically In tho market for tho Southern securities, but of late joara with indifferent success. Tho Bpcciilatlonln thoGi uigcrstoeks was Influenced by tho furthir advance In tho pruoof cereals, tho unprecedented rei clpts of .rraln In Chicago, and the heavy exports of brcodstulTs. Tho possibility of an Increase in tho dividend to bo declared upon Sugar Heflniiu to-morrow was responsible for a noteworth net ndvance In tno price of that stock to dny. Among the less ac tive shares Consolidated Gas was most conspicu ous at a net ndvance of 34 points. Otherstocks in that category thatmade noteworth advances wero Sugar KcllnlnaT preferred, Hocking Valley preferred. Detroit Gis, Ilio Grindc Western preferred, and Susquehanna und Western pre ferred. Iho bond market was fully ns strong and nctlvo as that for stqeks. with Ilronkljn Hapld 1 ranslt 5s. Krlo 3 general Hens, Fort Worth and Denver City llrsts, and Northern I'aclllc gonornl Hen bonds especially Blrong. Tho news consisted utmost en tirely of railway trafllo returns, whiih nro printed further on In this column. It is to ho noted that London was an unusually hcivy bii or of seciiiltics, nnd that spcculnlho hold ers took profits upon an extensive scale. 'Iho bujing. however, was moro clTectlvo than tho selling, as is Bhovvnb the fact that the major ity of tho llBt closed higher thnn on Saturday.
