T bl EASTERN MARKETS. N YORK STOCK MARKE NEW YORK, May 10.—The stock market ved up sharply to-day, although at times Iderable irregularity appeared. Large in- terests were open purchasers of their special- ties and the absorption of some 70,000 shares by Lond ic market lenders in push- favort of the advance induced the covering In the afternoon, the t lines, and commission houses agaln active purchasers. There was no urry in_ the money market, the ruling rate for call loans being 4 per cent. Sterling exe ased off on the large purchases of stock for foreign account. An element in shap- ing_ sentiment Was a rumor that the Govern- ment crop report to be issued to-day would show an improvement of several points over Jast month's. St. Paul's favorable weekly statement of earninge was a source of strength to the grangers. The lower range of prices brought about by yesterday's decline proved attractive to many would-be purcl s, and ¢ was no important news In develop- timent was completely reversed t which were the center of k- notably the Flower specfalties, » strongest features t it rising and Federal sas_about 4 each. Among the some very pronounced rican Tobacce, 12; 5, teel Hoop and Third nue, 5 each; American Steel and Wire, 3% Tennessee Coal and Iron and Continental To. bacco, 2% each, and and Manhat- tan, 3 each. ‘ The raflwaye advanced from 1 to 3% points for active issues, Burlington scoring the ex- r treme rise. Metropolitan, which lost a point, . was the most pronounced exception to € gen- Anaconda The tempera- | eral strength. In the forenocon there was considerable commission ligquidation which in- duced certain professionals to make a drive at the market, but large operators absorbed the offerings, two houses taking together about 100,000 shares, and this turned the tide, and a steady improvement followed. A report that the industrial commission hearing in Wash- ington had been postponed for thirty days led to purchases of the stocks of some of the com- panies to be investigated. It was reported that a brominent commission house, after consult- tion with the financial institutions carrying its was forced to sell a large line of stocks ¢ after the opening, and that it was on sales from this quarter that the markei was temporarily depressed in the forenoon. Prac- tically everything joined in the late advance and the market closed buoyant at the best. | " The railroad bonds participated in the im- | proved speculative temper, but advances were | { not material, except in a few instances.

BOSTON ~The American Wool and morrow: The wool This activity, h rter will say to- m and active. was noted last week, is confined mostly to purchases of territory and pulled wools by a local speculator and sales from Australian wool in bond for export. Beyond this very I tle business has been done, purchases for con- sumers’ account having been very small. About 1,000,000 pounds of Australian wool in bond has been bought for export during the past week, and it is quite possible that all the wool re- maining here in bond will be taken by for- elgners. The large purchases of territory wools refer to, in conjunction with the strong and advancing markets abroad, have naturally resulted in some advance in prices. It 15 difficult to quote with exactness, but, roundly speaking, we should say that there had been an advance of between 2 and 3 cents per scoured pound on territory wools and an of about 1 cent per pound on the reasy In_the past month, The sales of the week in Boston amounted to 4,778,000 pounds domestic and 2,715,000 foreign, making a total of 7,593,000, against a total of 6,790,000 for the previous week and a total of 1, corresponding ‘week last year.
