better tone to tho IJroad Street Curb, nnd

many quarters, and tho supply, at around
recently provnlllng prices, was quickly ex
hausted. llatns ranging from 1 to C points wcro
noted during tho forenoon and additional
advances wcro noted when tho brisk up
turn camo In the railroad stocks In the
afternoon on tho Stock Exchange. The
motor Issues were nmong tho most active
features, with Chevrolet moving up 5 points
to 200, but most Importancu was attached
to tho trading In Strombcrg Carburetor,
which rose to 43, with buying coming to
great extent from disappointed blddcrB for
syndlcnto participation.
