Financial Market Prices Lorillard Leads Tobacco Advance with Points Jump. By BKOVDAWALL. yew York, July professionals who raided the market Monday fled In wild panic today leaving behind thera net gains averaging about two points hut running in some stocks high as Ave and in one Instance seventeen points. The end of the world which they had predicted on Monday did not come hut instead there came a realisation on pait of the the market moved by "fundamental, elemental powers beyond the ability of any group of bankers to check. The stocks that moved most were not necessarily the best ones.

The whole list advanced and the sharpest movements were in those that had teen attacked most severely. The short interest was increased by tho raid of Monday. The bears found nobody willing to sell and they put tha market up on themselves. One of the most important influences of the day was the report that President Wilson had approved a plan proposed by H. P.

Davison for financing of American goods to Europe. This report was not officially confirmed but the information came, from an authoritative source and is believed to be true. The matter is probably not In proper shape for official announcement. Judge Gary's optimistic statement continued to be a market influence. was particularly because numerous steel men testified to the unwillingness of their old employes to strike for such an indefinite thing as recognition of the union.

Lorillard led the tohaccoes with an advance of points to a high record. Rumors of a consolidation with another company were persistent. United Cigar Stores rose 7 points and on the curb United Retail Stores touched 100. Low priced railroad scares were In active demand. Prominent among: those that moved Chicago and Eastern Illinois.
