4 > STOCK MARKET. Buoyant Tone Due to Large Buying, Espe- cially of Western Railroad Securities. CROP NEWS DOMINANT. Rumors of Change in Man- agement of St, Paul Denied —Rock Island Advanced 4 Points in the Afternoon. Buoyant tndifference to impending gold exports and a strong tendency to rely implicitly upon the statements of railroad presidents as.to crop con- ditions characterized the market most. of to-day. ‘The opening was inspiriting and the activity was in striking contrast to the sluggishness of the last ten days. Using St. Paul, Rock Island, Union Pacific, Chicago Northwestern and Mix- sourl Pacific as market leaders, the mill element forced prices steadily toward n higher figure. Speculation till continued to run atrongly toward the high-priced diyi @end-paying stocks and tho heavy pur- chasing was in a large percentage for investment. A notable feature of the trading w the fact that all the houses with strong western connections had heavy buying orders. This led to the bellof that the Gates-Ried-Lambert-Elwood group was dominating bothe the grain and stock markets. Bulls in Fall Control, Every adverse influeuce was over- thrown or discounted by the bulls and the confident tone of the market grew more and more pronounced, This was convincingly shown jn the froadening volume of the business. | Blocks of stock such as have not been handled in weeks were quickly disposed of when offered in the Granger tvsues. | ‘The report that London was short of St. Paul stock Jed to Mvely buying in Yhat Issue by epeculators here who gave Uittle credence to the story originating; in Chicago that Edwand H.
