NEW YORK, April 3).—There is no' prece- dent by which to be guided in the formation of a judgment regarding the present stock market. Each day of trading leaves some former record behind and not infrequently all previous records go by the board as a result of a day's business. The aggregate =ales of all stocks to-day went ahead of . - cerday's hitherto unprecedented total, rising to 3,202,100 shares. Last Wednesday's record sales of a single stock were 662,000 shares for Union Pa- cific, compared with to-day’'s sales of 459,100 shares of United States Steel. The aggregate sales of both the common and preferred stock of United States Steel amounted to-day to 648,000 shares. Another record was clipped to- day for a single hour’s business, sales for the first hour amounting to over a million shares, against the previous maximum of less than 800,000 shares. 1t Is the usual rule that a large portion of a day’s business on the exchange is done during the first hour, but had the ac- ivity of the market for the rest of the day continued in normal proportion to the first Tour's business the total for the day would have reached probably 4,000,000 shares, which members for ‘the day’s business of a million doliars. Such statistics as these convey the truest idea of the dimensions and scope of the present market. | would resolve itself largely into an accumula- i tion of superlatives. There were long strings active stocks to-day, in which none of the | sales reported were of less than 100 shares and running from that up to 10,000 shares. If any ordinary considerations could be the rule in such a market the fact that the stocks were notably strong yesterday were to-day sold had great influence. The sharp break at many points In the closing dealings would have been another factor making for hesitation, but these usual symptoms of a coming reaction have been so often without the slightest effcct in the recent extraordinary market as the cngagements of gold for export and oceasfonal hardening of e ‘money nu’}kn. The presence in great force of a widespread public interest in the market must explain this ignoring of usual technical indication. The great accumulations of wealth which have come to the hands of the Americen people for weveral years past and which bave lain in de- posit_banks waiting for bpportunity for out- lay seemed to be pouring into Wall street, atiracted by the sudden great fortunes which ' | April were 662 flasks valued at $29,859, making | date last season, and rainfall in the last twen- | . | St Louis & Southwestern.

The belief in wholesale consolidation of iC. &O. | Hocking Coal . THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1901, are being made from day to day In the price movement of different stocks. The large inflow of money from the interior of New York seems to be due to this fendency and is keeping the money market easy in spl of the demand from other sources. There 19 very little in the way of specific news accom- panying the movement of prices. - The an- nouncement this morning of the absorption of the Leyland Steamship line by J. P. Morgan had a tendency to give a renewed stimulus to- the speculation, as indicating the continued activity of the most influential indlvidual®in the recent t movements toward consalida- ‘great rallroad systems, even at the enormous expense {nwolved in the buying of control in the open market, is the potent factor in the general speculation. The enthusiastic bellevers | in an indefinite rise in prices argue that a | market - turn-over within a few days ‘of as | many shares of a corporation as the whole cutstanding eapital necessarily indleates a movement to buy control, but it is certainly obvious that a turn-over of that amount of stock where the actual control does not pass is proof positive of an enormous amount of purely speculative buying, It may be due to buying and selling and then rebuying many times over of speculative holdings, or it may be @ue to persistent short-selliug on every advance and then buying to cover as the fur- ther advance jmperils the position of the bears. That such purely speculative transactions formed a large factor in the day's market is probably not seriously doubted. An anaiysis in detall of to-day’s market would be fuille, so great Is its extent and variety. and in &he later dealings its irregularity. Northern Pa- cific was under pressure of profit-taking all day and Union Pacific and the Grangers gen- erally showed its influence as the day pro- Eressed. 'The Atchisons were the new strong feature on talk of an increase in the dividend. An advance in New York brought speculative attention back to the Fastern railroads, but thelr gains did mot hold well. The United States Steel stocks were comparatively well maintained, closing with net gains of 2% for the common and 2 for the preferred at reac- tions of 1% and 1% respectively from the best prices. The Reavy profit-taking at the last made the closing irregular. Business was not as large relatively in bonds and the price movement was irregular.

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables. The Potato market shows signs of a boom. Stocks are very light and prices have advanced sharply again, as will be seen. The lightness of stocks is due to the heavy drafts upon Ore- gon by Washington, where frosts cut down the yield, and where there is a shipping demand for the north, Texas, too, has been drawing on this market instead of the East, and these two demands are cleaning up the California and Oregon markets. New Potatoes are also higher, as the storm has lessened the receipts.

The feeling is firm, especially for fine cream- erfes, which bring the quotations without diffi- cutly. Some dealers are placing their surplus Butter in cold storage. Cheese is steady and in fair demand, though there s no scarcity. - | Receipts of Eggs continue liberal and ‘the market is weak. Most dealers have more on their floors than they care to have.

Dried Fruits, Nuts and Raisins. Seeded Raisins are selling freely at the ad- vance noted below, but other descriptions are dull. 3 All anxiety about the coming Prune season has disappeared. Reports from all districts point to such a reduced yield this year that even buyers admit that even if considerable of last year's crop be carried over there will be a g00d market, as every Prune will be needed. One authority writes up from San Jose that the Santa Clara crop will not exceed 20 per cent of last year's yield. Apricots, Apples and Peaches continue in good demand, and Moorpark Apricots are said to be cleaned up. Peaches are also cleaning up, and Apples " are actually scarce. The market for dried fruits is in altogether dif- ferent shape than it was a couple of months ago. Pears alone are neglected. They have not moved at all this year.
