Reading made up Its loss of 1 point In n fow minute* and showed a gain of morn than a point over last night's close Union Pacific also rose above last night'* closing. The whole list began to ndranr* sharply. The rittsburg bank failure had been an nounced before the opening, aud. like that of the Kan*a* City bank yesterday, It seemed to have been discounted. Stock* were offered, however, more freely than yesterday and short* were permltt*.! to recover. The result wa* a sharp decline at the end of the first half hour that aver aged more than l point. There was no weakness, however. In any department, re action l*elng purely normal. Announcement that soldiers had actually started for Goldfield caused strength In the mining shares, for It I* felt that bloodshed will be prevented by their presence and the mine* will be permitted to open.

Wheat was slightly lower. After midday the market waa atlll strong, but with a smaller volume of business. Fluctuations were narrow and stocks were well in hand. Traders did not find much encouragement to sell shorts.
