A Number Of Influences Combine to Maintain
a Bull Market.

A Number Of Influences Combine to Maintain
a Bull Market.
Special to John N. Oakley & COL
NEW YORK. May 1.-THE stock market con-
tinues on its bullish course, and it meets with
no objections. 1t promises to have the usual
irregularities Of movement to shifting of
speculative interests. but its direction is obvi-
ously in bull line. The prices of many stocks
look pretty high to a contemplative mind, but
impulse is back Of this market, and that is not
conservative or reflective.
The idea that we shall have silver legislation
and that an increase In the currency will in
crease prices, has taken firm hold on the pub
lie mind. The higher prices for farm products
put the producers in q better temper, and the
prospects Of settlement Of the tariff question
will enable manufacturers to count on fixed
conditions as to the extent of protection.
Money has been in good demand at firm
rates, but the summer season generally wit
nesses the flow of money from the interior to
this center, so that the smallness of the bank
reserves does not excite apprehension as TO
prolonged stringency.
The bank Statement to-day was favorable for
it showed a gain Of $500 600 in reserves. and a
reduction of Sl5O0,0OO In loans. The market
closed firm. and with every promise of better
prices next week.
