GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE stock market,
though to-day was a half holiday, managed to
do large volume of business. and while move
ments of prices were somewhat irregular, there
was a strong undertone, which before the close,
swept everything before it, and further ad-
vances resulted, while many stocks reached
the highest prices for the week. The
market started off with slight advances, but
there was some selling off in Reading and
Changers apparently for foreign account, and
Chicago gas and sugar were weak and retarded
further improvement until the strength in Read
ing had been fully developed. The Viii
lards sfterward joined in the upward move
ment, and the latter advancing, the tendency
extended to all portions of the list. and even
-stFanE in most cases at sst prices of the day.
