of Issues sold at the biclicst prices over recorded
for them. Evidence of nlccilitnato demand for
securities was not confined to tho bond market,
but extended to tho stock list, as is sUown not
only by tho larger transactions and higher
prlcos, but also by the wldo distribution
of tho dealings. London evinced considerable
interest in American securities, both in its own
market and here, in spito of tho comparatively
low condition of tho Hank of Kncland's resorvo
and slightly hither rates of discount nt that
centre. It begins to look as if the rank and fllo
of llrlti.h operators and investors might brook
away from tbo influence that tho leading Lon
don banking houses have exerted for somo time
past. As ls well known, the leaders In financial
circles on the other sido have spared no efforts
for months past to avert or defer tho
payment of European indebtedneis to tho
United States on ordinary trado balanco
by advising sales and discouraging purchases
of American securities. Tho steady incroaso in
the earnings of American railways, tbo facility
with which tho reorganization of insolvent
transportation companies has been and Is being
accomplished, and the steadily growing strength
and Importance of tho United States In the
markets of tho world are beginning to be appro,
elated by European investors and speculators,
notwithstanding the persistent efforts of foreign
bankers to blind them to tbo facts.
Tho largest dealings wero In Sugar Refining,
Drsoklyn Itnpid Transit, Manhattan Railway,
Chicago, Ilurlington and Qulncy, St, Paul, North

The announcement, Just toforo the close, that
tho control of tho New York, Susquehanna and
Western Railroad Company has boon purchased
In tho Interest, of tho Krlo Railroad Company
stimulated trading In the iharcs of All of the
anthracite coal companies at advancing prices.
Tho transaction referred to minimizes the
chances of an unsettling of the nnthraclto coal
market. Tho transfer of $8,500,000 from tho
Union Paclflo Reorganization Committee to the
United States Treasury was completed to-day
without causing a ripple in tho money marker.
That markot was, In fact, a little easier thanir
Jus been for tbo Vft ten days. The manner la
which tho enormous payments on Account of
the Union l'actflo purchase have been made
wltbont disturbing tho money market redounds
to tho credit of tho Union Paclno Roo'rganlia.
