STIMULATED TIE MARKET.
The Effect on Stocks of the Heavy
Purchases of Bonds.

New YoRK, May 1.-THE stock market was
dull again to-day except during the last hour
and portion of the first, and prices moved
up slowly throughout the day, the advance
gaining force toward the close. The action of
the trunk lines was the occasion of the re.
yival of the bearish feeling this morning, and
the shorts put out some fresh lines at the open
ing, which was rather weak at declines from
last evenings figures of from to per cent.
Butlittle progress was made In the downward
direction until after a small advance, when
prices were forced off on a moderate business
to small fractions below first prices.
The dullncss became intense after IL o'clock.
and while there was a firm tone to the deal
ings there was no feature whatever in the
trading until after delivery hour, when II was
announced that the Secretary of the Treasury
had accepted all the bonds offered, which
were the largest since the treasury has been
purchasing bonds. This started a smart coy.
ering movement among the shorts, and the
advance was accelerated, when the amount of
business done showed very marked Increase,
The advance was stopped only with the
close of business, which was active and
strong at about the top figures for the day.
The active list Is almost invariably higher
this evening.

FALSE BOUNTY CLAIM.
One Brother Puts the Guilt on the
Other.


The tlial Of Noah II. Bryant, young col
orcd man who was indicted with his brother,
Pompey Bryant, for fraudulontly endeavor
ing 10 secure bounty claim from the gov.
eminent, was begun in the criminal court
yesterday afternoon, and not finished. Mr.
Lipscomb appeared for the government, and
Mcssrs. Campbell Darlington and Hugh
Nelson for the prisoner. 1t was claimed by
the government land nine witnesses took the
stand to prove it) that in March, 1884, the
two Bryants filed a claim for bounty us the
only heirs Of their brother, Steven James,
who was a soldier in the late war, and died
in New Bcrne, n. c., Of smallpox in 1864.
In their affidavit they stated that their
mother was dead, when in fact she is still
living.
For the defense IL was held that Pompey,
the older brother, got the prisoner to sign
the paper with him, and when the indict-
ment was found that Pompcy skipped out
and left'his brother to face the trial alone.
They do not deny preparing the fraudulent
claim, but say that Pompey is the criminal
and their client the innocent victim, as he
trusted his brother fully, and did not know
he was doing wrong when he signed the
paper
The trial will be resumed thism orning.
