NEW YORK F'h—l.:"flll‘rdn}'l level of activity in stocks was pretty well maintained | to-day and there was evidence of considerable strength in the market. The operations seemed to be confined still to professional .hands, hm! the leadership was aggressive and better ur- manized than for some time past and there was | evidence of the control of large resources by | those operations. It was the theory of the | boardroom operators that the action of the market was largely due to the foregathering | 7 & number of well-known stock operators at » Southern resort, abundantly supplied with #pecial wire service.

Nothing defiite could be learned of the scope of the agreement, but the report wae accepted with on as » substantial step in a community of interest which avolds future damaging competition. The publication of this report was probably the cause of revived rumors that the proposed merger of the Gould rallroad properties was almost ready for announcement. The stocks of various companies affected by these rumors were not among the speculative leaders of the day.

Of course, if the weather | should turn very rainy again the scarcityswould | be prolonged just so much longer, but with the present sunny skies stocks are bound to in- | crease, as a lot of delayed Butter will come in. | Eggs continue to shade off, and the great ! bulk of the business vesterday was at 23@26c, | anything over the latter figure being excep- | tonal. - Most dealers reported larger supplies and receipts again increased, as will be seen. | A car of Western came in.
