ACTIVE AND STRONG.
Everything ON the List Materially
Higher.

NEW YoRK Apr. %. The stock market was
again very active and strong today and the
result of the operations Is to leave almost
everything on the list materially higher than
last evening. The disposition to look for a re.
action was more marked this morning than at
any previous time this week, and the traders
were free sellers at the opening and much
long stock came upon the market which made
some Impression upon values. Later on the
grangors became the prime favortes upon the
advices from Chicago that the meeting IN pro.
gress at that point would probably develop
harmony among the lines represented.
The opening, Notwithstanding the selling,
was firm under the influence of the London
quotations, but prices were irregular and
iGyersh with a dropping tendency, ana de
llshed. The Gould stocks early displayed
marked strength, however as well as North
ern Pacific preferred, and the general soon
followed, though the stocks mentioned main
tanned the lead throughout the forenoon
There was less activity after that time but
the strong tone Of the dealings was retained
and the grangers assumed the lead and more
animation was shown AS ;he day wore along
Reading came to the front toward the above
hour, but the advance was checked under the
heavy, realizations indulged IN, and prices
sagged of. the close being rather heavy at
small concessions from the best figures Al
most everything on the active list Is higher
tonight, though few fractional declines are
shown.
