THE STOCK MARKET STIONG AND PRICES ADVANCING," Boeetat Dispatch to Tha Chicago Tribune, New Yonx, May. 26.—The stock market wns strong today at advancing figures, though: the specialtles were the favorits. Much strength was noticed among the divi- dend payers on both foreign and domestic orders, and tha conseyuence was no higher range of prices, ‘The order in regard to the extension of the $s and 63‘ by the Secretary of the Treasury having been generally closed, tho Investment orders for this class of securl- tles continued large. It was estimated that over $10,000,000 of the registered 53 were received. for continuance beyond - the amount fixed by the call. There were occa- sional reactions from realizations, but tho tentency of the. market was upward by reason of numerous and: confident buyers, A leading broker sald to-day: “It looked last night as’ though prices would be lower to-day, but t, ? r + THE MARKET OPENED HIGHER, and has shown very Ittle weakness, ‘The St. ‘Paul pool has put the price up to 128%, A story was circulated this morning to tho effect that Mr. Keene had become a bull in St Pau, and that the price was to go up ‘to 160, Mr. Keene says ho is not. a -bull on’ St. Paul, and talks yery plainly-about the lack of earnings of the-road, Northwestern has been rather quict.. Unton Paciile took a smart jump this noon.
