The b'tock market swung forward with a great deal of strength today under deal ings on the largest scale of the year. The steel and allied shares were most prominent in the rise, although it was difficult Jo' tell at times whether their vigor exceeded the buoyancy of automobile and some of the oil stocks. Beinir a highly professional affair, that it, limited mainly to the Wall street commission houses and their reg ular clientale in outside branches, dealings were evidently stimulate by the amount and relatively low cost of call money. Tha eon loha rata slatted off at 7 per cent and eased to per cent early In th afternoon. Rc-cause of the atrlngemy of temporary credit and the high ratea of tha fdfftpart of the year 7 per cant money looks cheap to tha trader. After a sharp upturn of the more versatile lnaues, which ended until after tho noon hour, a con siderable flow of realizing sales came In.

That no genuine alarm was felt over conflicts reported in several uerman oitie waa evidenced in tne foreign exchange market. Sterling moved lorwara gradually Bntil a quotation of $3.7414 was established and maintained when buslnes ended. Thls-rate was 2, cents higher than the day before. Marks stood firmly at 1.28 to 1.30o, which was their approximate position today before. Franca eased slightly end lira aomewhat further, but there waa no real weakness in any or the allledanuntations. Neutral country rates were slightly firmer than on- Wednesday. Tha comment in banking quarters disclosed a feeling as on other days of the week that the gpartaolde en deavor would ultimately break before the oommon sense of the Herman- people. As far.aa sentiment In regard to other Euro pen countries were concerned, it Healt chiefly with the Impression derived from economic develonmenta of tha lnat two months that Industrial activity I tntreas- mK ana nnouia improve as winter weather passea out. ' - Better Reserve Showing. The street noted with satisfaction that the Bank of England's reserve la the weekly report was more than 1 per cent higher than last week, while $11,. 400,000- more gold was rocorded In the bullion holdings, Tha bank has now gained more than ll80.000.ono In gold 'this year and the deduction might be made, from tha retention of a 4 per cent dis count rata that tha position of credit in ragiana ,u not giving causa tor worny. Word has not comepf results of gold sales on the London market thla week and it may be that none has been offered. The expectation is voiced In aome local quarters that Argentina will appear short ly as an- importer of substantial amounts of gold from London, which would not be a new development, but might have eirect in lessened imports from the United States. That Is auppoalng, of course. tht part of our recent gold shipments has been for British account. 31 IS 17 0 n..,.. 10..... 18 m u 10..,., 12 42..;.. ...... .. .. 7.. 42.. 7..
