The strength de veloped In today's stock market In the degree to which It extended was' a sur pilsc to traders. Last week's consid erable advance In prices ottered Invit ing profits and It was expected that selling on this account would be sufll clent to feed tho new demand. Tho Helling to take profits In the first hour of the trading was in fact on a very large scale, sharp advances at the opening helping along the process. Last week's demand and the large gains In prices were a paradox In Wall street business and the professional traders were very persistent In selling the market on any advances. ThU element was watchful today for any opportunity to swoop on the market and break prices to a point to which they could buy In at a profit. When the profit taking became manifest they made a vigorous attack on Brook lyn Rapid Transit, forcing It down over three points and bringing the business In the general market to a halt. So far the course of the market was about us hard as expected. The money mar ket was firm and the demand Inci dent to the active speculation In stocks pushed the money rate up to 11 per cent, during the day. Thus all things seemed to confirm the expectations of tho reactionists, who, however, failed entirely to properly guage the outside demand for stocks. This absorbed the sales to take profits and then proceed ed to follow u all other offerings available. 'i'ne bear party became alarmed at the proportions of the ad vance and hastened to cover. The money rate ran down late In the dav to 3 per cent, and the tone of stocks became buoyant. The most striking gains and the greatest activity wero shown in the Industrial group, of which sugar was the leader. The Iron and steel stocks, especially the com mon, were 4lso In eager demand at advancing prices, and the strength spread to other Industrials. The same time there was a confident and well distributed demand for the railroad stocks. The grangers showed the largest advances, owing to the re bound from last week's weakness, due to the St. Paul nnd Burlington state ments of earnings and the trunk lines, Including Baltimore and Ohio, Nor folk and Western and the Great Trunk lines, were all notably strong. oo were the central traffic lines, such as Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago nnd St. Louis and the Lake Erie and Western stocks. Chesapeake and Ohio failed to respond. The striking de clines In discount rates abroad t.rouso.t some confidence that the exportation movement of gold will not extend fur ther, though the financing of tho South African war expenditures must be reckoned with and may have been the motive of tho strenuous effort that have been making to bring abouc easier conditions in the London money market. As for the domestic situation, the movement of money has evidently turned In favor of New York. New Yojk exchange at Boston went to a sharp premium today. An accepted authority estimates that tho total dis bursements for January this year, taking Into account securities of banks, assurance companies und such, will foot up $130,000,000. Total sales, 630, 100 shares. There were sufficient points of weak ness In the bond market to give irreg ular appearance, although the general tone was strong. Total sales par value, $1,253,000.
