Y., April 20.—Business at the T scale to-day and on w tributed business prices for the leading 1ssues scored material gains. Commission houses with foreign connections received more orders thar for some time and local bull operators were 180 disposed to extend the lines. especislly in the grangers. The stesdy rise in British consols, pri- Vate cables reporting transactions as high as 114 and the advance in United States fours of 1925 to 11854, explain why investors and others are ¢ pelled to seek other avenues for the employment of their capita! London, according to good authority, bought fully 10000 shares of St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville and ibe low priced Southwesterns as vell as round amounts of morigages. Local opera- tors paid more altention to the grangers than of late, and the bears also covered extensively rizit through the list. The withdrawal of $i00.000 £old from the sub-treasury had no effect whatever as the sterling exchange market is inclined to droon. Tt was understood a a late hour that only $200.000 of gold will be forwarded to-morrow. 1 he disposition of tne balance was not positively known, some assering that it will be forwarded later in the week. and others that it will be turned into & local city bank. The matter at best excited only a languid inter- est. The advance in stock prices at one time was equal 10 1,@3% per cent, Consolidated Gas lead- ing with sales up 1o 164. _Subsequently there was a reaction 10 160@162. Other stocks conspicuous in the rise were the Grangers, Union Pacific, Mis- souri Pacific and Louisville and Nashvilie. In the industrials sugar rose to 12634 the best price yet reached. Cotton oil preferred advanzed 13/ to 577 and tobacco 2 to 73. Specuiation closed strong with prices anywhere from 14 to 2 per cent bigher on the day.
