GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BoNDsS
NEW YORK, May 9.-The stock market was
very active to-day, although business was not
so evenly distributed as some days ago. but the
tone of the market was good during most of the
day and material advances were scored all over
the list. The conspiouously strong stocks of the
day were Missouri Pacific, Wabash, Wheeling
Lake Erie, Reading, Manhattan. Lackawanna.
The general outlook OF the Western situation rs
considered somewhat improved, and late in the
day the report of an agreement OF the senate
caucus upon the silver bill helped to impart
considerable strength to active stocks. The
close was active and strong, generally at best
prices of the day, and the most prominent gains
were Missouri Pacific 25s and Mexican Central
rs.
Railroad bonds were extremely active. and
while in the main strong there were a few weak
spots, which showed material losses at the end
Of the day. The Texas Pacific 2's, ST. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas trust receipts and Interna-
tionRl issues were the most conspicuous for
strength, and all made marked advances.
Government bonds were dull and steady.
State bonds were duh and featureless.
