Notwithstanding the fact that at the opening London was a seller and that local traders were real izing profit.s. the market was well held by and gradually gained strength, the for e alters changing front and becoming good buyers, in the last hour the speculation was very buoyant in tone and closed strong with prices generally at the best of the day and of the week. The Gran gers are %'u 1% higher. The past week lias been a notable one in Wall street by reason of the great activity of the stock market and the wide distribution of the business, the natural advances recorded and the large buying for the foreign ac count. The buoyancy of the dealings can he attested by the fact that some !HJ shares touched figures higher than have been made at any time since January 1. The more important advances are: Pan-Han dle preferred 5. do common 3%. Louisville and Nashville and Chesapeake and Ohio 4%. The only declines of importance were Hay State Gas ::% per cent and Pullman 1% per cent. The sales of tile week aggre gated 2,459.000 shares, and 155 shares were traded in.
