Sentiment Improved.
NEW YOIUC, -t)ec. 12. The Uvenliur
Sun, in Its llnniiclal review today, anys:
Finns for rcmlinptlotl of business In WntI
street linit been so well prepared tliat
today no one unfamiliar with tbo facta
would liavu Imagined 111 days Imd In
tervened since July 30, when open pub
lic trading In stocks terminated. The
resumption of dealings In a limited way
In bonds two weeks oro today paved
the way for this morning's performance,
and the market Htartcd off In very much
the fjanlo way that it might after a ordi
nary suspension of a triple holiday. About
the only feature out of tho ordinary was
tho very large attendance of visitors In
tho Stock Kxchunge gallery and the Un
usual number of brokers on the floor
for a half 'session. Naturally a cheer
went up when tho gong sounded, but
otherwiso enthusiasm was less pro
nounced than oiio might have reasonably
expected.
Activity at tho outsot converged large
ly upon Reading, which touched 143Vi
near IJio opening, registering an advance
of about !14 points from yesterday's fln'al
figure- and of 3(J abovo tho closing salo
on July 30.
For tho most part tho early prices woro
nbovo the range nt the close of tho last
preceding session. They wero generally
nbova tho minimum established for tbo
181 shares which have been transferred
from tho Clearing House to dealings on
tho exchange. .Slight Irregularity de
veloped ns tho trading ndvanccd, and
It became apparent that, despite tho fix
ing of a minimum range for dealings, sell
ing, asl well as buying, was In progress;
but tWi Important outstanding feature
was recognized to bo tho fact that deal
ings In listed stocks had been resumed.
This Imparted a spirit of optimism to
tho financial district which nugurs well
for tho future It lends great Interest
to the market on Monday, when 115 ad
ditional Issues will be dealt in on a new
and lower minimum of prices through
the exchange clearing nottsc.
Tho resumption of trading was the all
absorbing feature of tho day, and little
attention was paid to other news. How
ever, sentiment was much encouraged
overnight by consideration of the suc
cessful outcome of tho Chicago and
Northwestern bond offering and tho wide
ly circulated report' of an early and
favorable decision In tho advance rail
way rato matter.

BUSINESS "iMPBOVEMENT SLOW
Conditions Continue to Mend, But
Buying Is Small.
Confidence In the futuro Is encouraglnp
enough and undorlylng bnslc conditions
continue to mend, but Improvement na
reflected In actual orders Is disappoint
ingly slow, Bradstrcet's says. Con
servatism, practiced ns It has been over
a long period, seems to have become a
fixed habit, nnd In consequence buying
Is of the small-lot variety, the disposi
tion belnET to ahop often but sparingly
at any one time, and at this Juncturo
slowness In buying Is accentuated by the
approach of Inventorying. So It may be
said that tho larger lines of distribu
tion, as well ns numerous producing en
terprises, aro -working nt a reduced rate,
and wherever activity is visible It Is di
rectly traceable to rush orders for tho
warring nations.
It Is true, however, that buying of holi
day goods imparts n certain degree of
activity to retail lines, nnd at tho same
time colder weather, with snow, has
helped sales of seasonable wearing ap
parel and benefited the winter wheat
crop, but as a general uile purchases of
seasonal gifts are rather light, and many
centres note a tendency to run to the
lower-priced artlcleB.
Thus, while trado In this respect is
relatively brisk, being especially so with
mail-order houses, lack of Industrial and
other employment Is calculated to re
strict buying in nil but those favored
cereal-producing regions that are enjoying
high pricos, and as n general proposition
retail dealeru anticipate n smaller turn
over than formerly.
