The stock market has maintained a | considerable degree of activity and v. | riety this week. Occasional reactions and constant irregularity have not de- | tracted from the appearance of ' strength. The action of the market |in face of the heavy realizing sales has been an incentive to a more cheerful speculative sentiment rather than an obstacle. The profit-taking has been achieved at small exvense of values and has rot interfered with the pro- gress of the market by the succession to the new noints of strength. Much of the dealings were supposed to be on behalf of professional operators of a large class and the occasional large selling by the same interests argues a considerable distribution of securi- | ties. The feature of the market would | naturally denend on the extent to, | which ‘the - distribution represents a | { real digestion of securities. Where | the secondary stage of a spec- | ulative advance represents a pass- ing from hands of strong oper- ators to those of small speculators of emall resources and timid methods, the | advance is soon followed by reaction | and letting go of holdings. | The belief that there has been an im- | portant absorption of stocks this week by inside interests in various proper- ties and of an investment character has been a strong influence in main- | taining the firm undertone of the mar- ket. The improvement in the specu- lative tone of the market was due in the first place to the small effect pro- uced by various incidents that seemed to be unfavorable to values. The suc- cessive advances following these devel- | opments caused a belief that the bad !news had been already discounted, leaving no prospect. of further declines and pointing to the long side of the market as the one of advantage for professional operations.

The steamer ar- rived at Plymouth at 3:08 a. m. to-day, and her post bags reached London at 9:17 o'clock this morning, while the Cunard line steamer Etruria, frcm New York April 2, only arrived at Queens- town at 4:24 a. m. The old-time rivalry between the Great Western and the London and Southwestern railroads, which has been revived since the Amer- ican line began calling at Plymouth, is greatly to the advantage of both | passengers and mails. The Great West- ern this morning, in a record, covered 45% miles in 4 hours 18 minutes, with wo steps, and arrived with the malls so far ahead of time that the postal vans had pot arrived at the.station. The London and Southwestern landed its passengers in London at 9:35 a. m., and the mails were distributed before {1 o'clock. | S i 2 s enforce the return to them of the Northern Pacific holdings which they had placed in the Northern Securities merger. The first impression suggest- ed by this action was a reopening of the whole conflict for control of North- | tern Pacific with the threat of hostile movements between the two most pow-, erful groups of capitalists in the coun- | try. But prices proceeded on their up- | ward course. This, with the amicable | confergnces reported between many of the cavitalists connected with the two | sides of the controversy, lulled the apA; prehension of the public and even aroused the suspicion that undisclosed | plans and policies might lie behind the ; apparent hostilities.
