GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
Nsw York, April pa good half days bust
ness makes Wall street and especially brokers
iubilant. Commission houses report much
greater interest in speculations, and much more
numerous orders from outsiders, which would
indicate q continuance of the steady confidence
IN an improved marker which had been growing
of late. The increase in bank reserve improves
the monetary situation, and the bulls de-
cidedly in the ascendant to-day. The Changers
frOTninRut in the inward
m ent, and in St. Paul stock in particular, and
dealings in them reached high figures.
There is talk of a resumption Of dividends
upon common stock, but officers of the company
give little encouragement to it. Its upward
movement continued until the close at slight re-
actions from time TO time, but the close was &C
tive and strong at about best prices reached.
With few exceptions the entire active list is
higher tonight.
Railroad bonds kept pace with shares in both
its activity and strength. Some material ad-
vances in the list show the prevailing tempera-
ture of speculation in its true light.
Government bonds, dull and steady.
State bonds, dull and featureIess.
