that some of the dny's recovery ln prlces

AMAPGAMATEP COPPER:
A. C. P. aold off a llttlo on the lllneas
of Mr. Rogers, but dld not act wonk, and
the buylng on tho doclino looked better
than tho selling. Boston anpenrs to be
rather hullish, and the hlghor tendency
of copper stock abroad ls regarded as cn
couraglng.
THE GOUPP BROKERS:
Tlio Gould brokers wero fnlrly actlve
and wero credlted wlth t.ho buylng In
Wabash prefcrrod nnd debenture "B's"
and Tcxaa and Paciflc. There wns no con
flrmatlo.i of the rumor of an advance In
tho Missouri PaolflC dlvldend. but some
wcll-lnformcd people thought It would be
Justifled on tho carnlngs.
AFTERNOON TRAPING:
The market waa flrm wlth nn advanclng
tendency up to tho early afternoon. Tho
Gould brokers seemed to bo the most nc
tlve of the ropresontntlves of the larger
Inlorests. but thoro was n gencrnl good
iiMturori dcslre to advance prlces choer
fully before thc closc, nnd thc room trnd
ors'wero gcnerally hclplrig tho lmprove

CANAPIAN TACIFIC:
The strnngth ln Canndlan Paciflc nnd
tho sympathetic advance in the "Soo"
Issiies wero a plaln rcfloctlon of tho bull
ls.li sentlment ln Montreal. Peoplo who
represent the pool here. sav that there ls
very llttlo stock floating In-the street. and
thlnk thnt the pricn could bo advanced
wlthout ninch dlfflculty.
GOUPPS THE FACTOR:
Thc afternoon tradlng was not speelnl
ly actlve. but tho tone wns very flrm wlth
an advanclng tendency. Gc/ild brokers
contlnued the princlpal factor. But the
prosence of a number of strangers ln town
probably nccounted for a very falr
nmount. of outsldo business.
SOX1THKRN RAIPWAY:
Tho bull tip on Southern Rallwny wns
current and apparently traceable to b
WesteVr. houso known to havo been lnter

SOUTHERN PACTFIC:
The tnlk of Southern Pnclflc wns hull?
ish, as lt was thought that tho market
gave evldehoe that all tho pool holdlngs
had been absorbed In ono wny or thn
