NEW | further —¥ * YORK, Mey 2l.—There was a still Jecline in activity In the stock miar- ket tc-day, the aggregate sales falling to a | figure that has not been touched before in |many montks Even the diminished voiume of business was largely centered in o few stocks, notably Union Pacific. That stock scemed to pave a dominant infiuence on the | whole market and the evidence that it was | supported turned the market from the early | | weakness, in continuance of yesterday's down- ‘\\ahl movement, and lifted prices to a much higher plane, except for a stock here and there, which did not move in the late trading. | The dealings were almost purely professional | jand even that class of operators showed less | interest than yesterday. There is not much difficulty experienced by them in moving prices, declines being easily effected on light offerings and advances are as easily achieved by a smart bidding up procegs. The lxgh(! | ehare of the public in the market, however, | offers no medium to take profits and the pro. | fessionals find more and more that in cover- ing short sales or In selling to realize oa pur- chases prices are brought back to about | where they started from. The nature of the business is indicated by | the example of several stocks to-day. Union Pacific was sold yesterday on reports of an additional issue of convertible bonds to finance the Northern Pacific stock purchase. To- -day | the fact was confirmed that the company had applied to the stock exchange to list the ad- ditional bonds, vet Union Pacific rose at one time 434 over last night. -Missouri Pacific was | | weak yesterday on the statement that the ex- | | pected dividend - would not be declared at | once; to-day the directars met without acting | | on the dividend, vet the stock rose four points ‘o\er the early low point. bears of yesterday were covering their con- tracts to-day. The buying by railroads and | capitalists to effect changes rious railroad systems whic make up the bulk of the buving in the boom | market, when dealings ran betveen 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 shares a day, is also Inconsricu- ous, although rumors of such dealings con- tinue to play some part, especially in Union Pacific, which :& credited by the newest ru- mors with #ecuring an interest in St. Paul. “ke stiength of the Toledo, St. Louis and Western stocks is accompanied by intimations about the exchange tnat the buying is Vanderbilt account with a view to elimina. tion of competition. The other story of a cunsolidation of Southwestern roads was re- with the rally-in The continuation of the in- in control of va- | vived to-day in connection Miseouri Pocific. junction agsinst Amalgamated Copper's mer- Eer projects accounted for the early weakness | of that stock. American Linseed and National ‘were strong, rather strangely, since the absorption of the Linseed company by the Union Lead and Oil Company is supposed to | | indicate increased competition for the National Lead mpany. The greater ease of money to-day had some influence in the recovery in prices. Banks which were below their legal reserve by Saturday's statement apparently completed their recuperation yesterday. The payments of an installment of !ub-crlpllnl;s on the Union Pacific bond issue and on the pur- chase of the Rio Grande Western by ths Den- ver and Rio Grande which were made yester- dav resulted in some influence on the mar- ket to-day. No gold was engaged to-day, but mome gold is expected to go out before the end of the week.

That is to say, Paris money | lent in London is called home to meet the exigency of the Russian loan unless the Lon- don rate is kept high enough to make a lcan there more attractive. | The bond market was dull and inclined to | weakness early, but showed some recoveries later in sympathy with etocks.

WHBAT-—The foreign markets showed no change worthy of note. The feeling in Chicago was firmer and the market advanced lc. In fact, firmness was the feature of all American markets, and a bullish sentiment is gradually growing. This is dus to Consular reports of the unfavorable condi- tion of the German crops, to complaints of dry weather In the Northwest, light receipts and a large decrease in stocks of contract wheat. The shorts are covering, and bears are not as plen- tiful as they have been. Most commission houees had small bugln‘ orders. The Southwest also bought freely, but little wheat came out. The dry_ weather in the Northwest is begin: actor, an ng a deal of talk.
