STOCKS STRONG AND BUOYAN’ The stock market, after considerable dulness and irregularity in the morning and during the earlier | portion of the afternoon, gradually grew strong, and toward the close assumed a decidedly buoyant tone, | giving marked indication of a renewal of operations _ on the part of the cliques fora revival of specula- tion for higher prices. Whatever the real reason of the recent prolonged lall—and there are many who theorize that the cliques were endeavoring to test the temper of the strect as a preliminary to embarking upon @ fresh movement to include the summer months—it served to show that tne cliques are jealously watched by the pubilc, who have ‘learned a thing or two” about speculation, and are unwilling to come in when the cliques are willing to go out. The reconnoissance had doubt- Jess two objects—viz., to ascertain the sentiment of i the puolic, and secondly, to torecast the future of the monetary situation. On the first point the cliques were doubtless sausfied that any attempt to unload ‘would precipitate a decline more dangerous to themselves than to the punlic, masmuch as they hold the leading speculative stocks in large blocks, the sudden depreciation of which would be ruinous. On the second point they gained the assurance that with money now offering at six per cent for sixty days to six months, it would not be a difficult matter to procure tie sinews of war with which to prosecute a vigorous summer campaign. The recent period of duincss stimulated, as it always does, the formation of a large short interest sufficient at least to give the market @ good ‘send-off’ on a iresh rise Hence, despite the naturally “bearish” character of the weather to-day, the tone of the Stock Exchange | gradually became cheerful, and the revived interest in the market was such that dealings were prose- outed until a late hour on the sidewalk, in the teem- ing rato, after the Stock Exchange had closed. The success of the “bull” cliques in reinvesting the mar- ket with fresh atiractions, after it has advanced to its present stage of prices, will depend on the bold- ness of their own efforts. The pubilc, however, are still as watchful asever, and the race to unload when the time comes for reversing the current of speculation will find them as vigilant as the cliques, The upward movement was more especially marked im Rock Isiand, Reading Lake Shore, Ohio and Mississippi, Wabasn, Erie and New York Central. The advance in Rock Island seemed based on the exchange for it of North- | western common by the clique, share for share. Reading was very naturally responsive to the anticl- pated settlement of the troubles at the coal mines, Ene, which Js always tow tothe fame of spectla- | tion, ran up to 2355, on the idea that the surrender of the books of the company by Jay Gould means an ond to all “irregularities” i the matter of new | stock, convertible bonds and the like, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES. ‘The following table shows the highest and lowest prices of the principal stocks during the day: Highsst, Lowest.
