Those who had lcn active on thn marlitt on rmWtant tou ,wer called on to face a Inullng situation where lowprlocd tocks, eflrally characterized by audi title rui "painted pups" and ''cat nnd dofea,"' " brought Into greater prominence than the ntnndard Industrials and railroad. Many of thes Issues were marked up from 2 to 6 polnts-wltnout special reason excepfthat some of the less scrupulous traders found nn opportunity to toe them aa gamblers' chips, which may bo of oblnfnabio value while this nctlvo trading I In progreni, but are worthless when the pool nctlvltles cease.

A prominent trader representing Important uptown In terests was a persistent buyer, with Wall strost and some spot house purchasers while the supply came from commission houses, Liverpool and, room traders. Tno selling was not large In any option, and was easily absorbed by the demand. , There was some reactionary sentiment In evidence at the start, but after a few mo ments of uncertslnty the market advanced sharply on covering and continued bull support. Fears that the tropical storm might work Into the Qulf States contributed to the ad vance, but the stimulating Influence appear cd to bs the failure of the high prices reach ad yesterday to bring In a more Important volume or neago soiling. New high records were established on all deliveries, with active months selling about It Xo 19 points net higher and with March contracts working through the 18 cent level. There was naturally heavy realising and prices showed reactions of 6 or 7 points from the best during middle of the second hour. The act that the sales were so readily absorbed appeared to stimulate buying around midday and prices made new high recQrds again early In the noon hour. Jan uary selling at Ho and March at 18.09a or about 20 to 22 points not higher on the general list. There was some selling of December by pot houses, accompanied by rumors that cotton was beginning to head In this direc tion, but December held a premium of about I 'points over January and trade Interests were buyers pf, later deliveries. After a dip to 17.87 for January In the early, afternoon due to realising by Wall street Interests, the market turned very strong again and toward 2 o'clock sold back to 18.04 for January, a new high level.

Oct. 17 The most proml nent and Important feature nf the trad Ing on the llroad Street Curb today was the persistent buying of Standard Oil stocks, which carr ed those Issues to a still higher level Ohio Oil. which only a week ago sold st !01. was In brisk demand, with transac tion nn n large scale from 176 to Hi. Htamlnrd Oil of New Jersey advanced! irom a to nz. rrnlr e 1'ipe i.ina trom 29S to 29D, tandanl Oil of California from 1J7 to 360 and Standard Oil nf N'tw York from 2)1 to 215. At todayS prices the aluntlon of old Standard OH certificates hss advanced to S20SO a share. In the genera list most Interest was at tached to the low-priced stocks, partly due to lbs activity of cats and dogs on tho New York Stock Kxchnnge. Many ot the low priced mining stocks and Industrials were bought up by newly formed pools and quickly attracted general attention. Some of these blocks, however, reflected accumulation, with American Writing Paper reflecting the strength shown In the pre ferred stock on the exchange nnd advancing from B to '. Dundee Arlsona also reflected persistent buying, baiwd on Information In regard to detelopmerits at the mines with sales at ltt t 2 The Independent oil stocks responded slightly to tha strength shown by Standard Oil.
