pr.ni. Court In tha Standard Oil caaa waa a
atrong and insistent dsmand for securities.
such as had not been witnessed sines tn
dissolution of tha Praraoa-Furquhar syndi
cate last July.
Ths decision wag Intsrprsted ss a most
lmportsnt bullish factor and stocks wera
sdvanced with a rush, ths Important issues
gaining from X to 4 points Tb. nays to
tal sales wers 1.002.641 shares. .
Among th Important gains war union
Pacific and General Klsctrtr. 4; Reading.

abov. yesterday's clos-, but losing
thtin 13 points oa ths day.

elo4m .Ith a 5-ooint sain.
Th. demand for atocka waa mora thaa
local. Is began last night In ths many
orders sent from this centur to London and
waa supplemented at ths latter ptac. by
horns and Continental purchases.
Operstlona for th. European scconnta ar
eatiniated at 70.000 shares, ins domestic ae
msnd. sslii. from locsl buying, cams main
ly from Doston. 1'hlladelphla. Pittsburg and
Chicago.
Kelicf that ths uncertainty which baa re
stricted business for so long waa ended
was. perhaps, ss much of a market factor
as the nature of the decision Itself.
Wall street vlswrd ths decision aa un
mistakably faTorabls to corporations thst
fall Into the clsss of ths so-called trust. Tha
ertect of this view la seen In the fact that
many of the larg.-st sdvances wers made by
stoOis of corporations which are or hava
been Involved In proceeduiga Instituted by
ths Ooernm.nt. Cnlon J'aclOc. which Is
Involved In tha H-fcrrlrnan merger suit, now
pending In ths courts, made-the largsst gala
of any of the actlva stocks.
General Electric, which la chiefly con
cerned In ths suit brought by th Govern
ment against various electrical companies,
w-s one of tho strongest stocks, ss was
fnlted States Rteel. AlthouKh a resolu
tion far the appointment of a commute, to
Invcstigats the Steel Corporation was psssed
hv the lower branch of Congress today.
bankers, brokers snd speculators war dis
posed to view tho result ot thla ana eimnsx
is-s with e-iuunlmlty.
tither developments wer subordinated to
consideration of the Standard OH cas and
ba! virtually no sSect on ths market.
Th fortnightly statistics or European
stocks of copper disclosed a moderate de
crease In the supply, which ts now much
b-low that of ths corresponding period of
last year.
The increase In activity in stocks resunea
In heavier demands for funda and ths
