20. Stocks rallied fairly after the mid. day break, but without the volume which would suggest confidence on the part of leading interests. If prices can be bid up to a new high level it would do more to stimulate public interest. We see nothing particular in sight to change the trend but look for a good trading market around this level, with a range of say two to three points, The market is waiting on the Mexican situation.

If this assumes a more peaceful outlook stocks might be carried a bit higher. Currency matters hang fire. Nobody is in a position to state with certainty that the bill will go over until regular session. President Wilson is confident of its passage next month. Congressmen who have pedo, here do not share this and view.

They for' an adjournment believe it will" be the middle of January before the currency measure can be made a law. QUOTATIONS High. Low. Close. Amal Cop Amer Beet 29 22 Amer Amer Car and 43 42 43 Amer Cotton American Ice.

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. Hopes that rise in stocks late last week was the prelude to a sustained guished upward today. For movement a time were after extinopening prices rose slightly. This was largely under the spur of buying by London, which took about 000 shares balance.

A few stocks, including Denver and Rio Grande, Erie first Preferred, Rock Island Preferred and American Can rose a point or more. But it was soon a apthat no broad demand had developed, The list was well under Saturday's close most of the" day, although a late rally reduced losses and in some cases cancelled them. The railroad list was heaviest, and such stocks as Lehigh Valley, Reading, Pennsylvania, New Central and Union Pacific were off one to two points at the low figures of the day. New Haven, which dropped to 83, reached a new low record. Pennsylvanta's heaviness was associated with further reports that the company was planning al billion dollar mortgage, although there was no official in-! formation.

The coppers were bene- fitted. temporarily by an advance in the in London. Total sales, 278,100 shares. Bonds were irregular, with further pressure on Rock Island issues. Total sales, par value, $1,150,000.

U. S. twos advanced -quarter on call. STOCK ADVANCE HALTED BY SELLING PRESSURE (By Brooks Company.) NEW YORK, Oct. 20, The market started out this morning with quite a show of strength led by copper, steel and Union Pacific.

An attempt to stop the advance was made by selling New Haven and vania, and after an hour of resistance the list yielded the weakness of these two stocks and copper and steel each reacted 1 1-4 points, and Reading and Union Pacific two points from the high prices of the early morning. All indications point to a very large short interest. On every show of recovery in prices some special stock is picked out to in order to overcome the rising tendency. On Friday, it was Rock Island; on Saturday, the Can stocks and today it Haven and Pennsylvania. Around noon the market be- came very dull with slight variations In prices.

About two p. m. the market began to recover from the recession and while not particularly active, the close was strong with many stocks showing a net gain for the day in spite of, the attempts to depress prices of the list. Total sales, $280,800. NEW YORK PROVISION NEW YORK, Oct.
