From Wall Street Today.

New YORK, May 2.-The stock market this
morning, having the stimulus of the London
market to help, opened extremely active and
with most of the list small fractions higher
than last evening. There was some irregu arity
in the market, but the same strong tone was
soon apparent and prices appreciated slowly
on very large business, in which st. Paul,
Union Pacific, Atchison, Missouri Pacific, Chi
cago gas and lead were most conspicuous
Chicago gas led the movement in the regular
list, and at 5l1l it was up per cent but among
the specialties there were some sharp movements
and Oregon Short Line spurted up 3. per cent
to 5234 while San Francisco preferred lead
and sugar rose fractional amounts. Louisville
and Nashville was the one weak point in the
list and it declined % to 81, but it had few imi-
tators and the great bulk of the stocks traded
in advanced small fractions in the early deal
ings. The market reacted slightly toward IL
O'Clock, but afterward rallied again and at the
end of the hour it was active and strong, gen.
orally at slight advances over the opening
prices.

ing took place and there were present Senators

part of the committee report

bill which authorizes and establishes a free
public bathing beach on the Potomac beside
the Washington Monument grounds.
THE BENNINas BRIDGE BILL, ETC.
Consideration was also given the Senate bill
to authorize the construction of bridge across
the Eastern Branch at Bennings road, and as
the House had favorable report on a similar
measure Senator Ingalls, was authorized to re-
port with q recommendation that the bill do
pass.
Senator Dawes bill providing for the ap-
polntment of a superintendent Of charities was
ordered to be adversely reported by Senator

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Then the committee talked about railroads
and after going over the matter informally,
but at considerable length. came to the con-
clusion that something must be done and done
soon.
Senator Mcmillan had intended making a
favorable report on the Mcpherson bill grant
ing the Baltimore and Potomac Company all
the facilities it wants, but the absence of SEN
ator Vance prevented such action
Senator Mcmillan said to a STAR reporter
this afternoon that he and his colleagues on
the subcommittee would give good deal of
time next week to the railroad problem
They were going to give a hearing to the
railroad committee of the Board of Trade; Just
