NEW YORK, April 1.-The stock market to-
day was, as far as its tone goes. repetition of
that of yesterday, but there was decidedly more
activity, and the strong tone was much more
pronounced. There was more disposition
shown to buy for the long account than for a
month past, and the bulls were much encour-
aged by the evident buying of the Reading
pool, which was accompanied by material
rise in the stock and some others. The brokers
who are supposed to represent the pool were
large buyers at the opening, and the price of
the stock was run up from 4O1s to 4214, though
it took two spurts to accomplish this result
The other anthracite shares were correspond
ingly strong, and 'Lackawanna especially was
largely traded In at advancing prices and to-
night it had recovered N per cent of its divi-
dend.
The most significant movement of the day,
however, was in the Big Four, which, with the
other Vanderbilts. moved up rapidly on large
business for that stock on the report that the
natl, Wabash and Michigan road which wouId
be operated by the Big -Four. and that traffic
agreement had been formed with the Mackey
system which would be of benefit to both mar.
ties concerned. The upward movement made
good though slow progress through the whole
list and almost everything traded in shows a
gain at the close.
The money market worked easy. though the
rates on call we're again run up to per cent
but there was no squeeze and funds were
offered at per cent at the Close Missouri Pa
cIfic was the only weak spot at the opening. but
it is only Il per cent lower this evening than
last night. AS usual, there were some specially
wide movements among specialties, and Ten

and Terre Haute and others made material
gains
There was some disposition among the
traders to sell the market after the mornings
rise on the theory that the coming holiday
will interfere with business but the impression
made by such sales was hardly appreciable and

spare. The market closed dull but firm to

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices.
The first asparagus of the season was re-
ceived at Liberty street commission house
from the South to-day. Quality is everything
that could be desired, but price is steep.
Supply of eggs is sufficient for demand, but
prices continue firm. Strictly fresh nearby
stock finds ready sale at quotations. Potatoes
are coming in much more freely than for some
weeks past, but old prices are well maintained
for good stock. Honey is weak and lower. The
season for the old crop is drawing near the
close and holders aim to clear up to make a
place for the new crop.

HOME SECURITIES.
Pleasant Valley Comes Higher-Philndel.
min Gas steady and Badly Wanted,

Stock trading was not very heavy yesterday,
but several interesting features were developed
and the feeling was rather buoyant, indicating
hopes of a good time coming. Sales were $50
shares.
Pleasant Valley was again the center Of in
terest. closely followed by Philadelphia Gas
The first sale of the former was at 271S ad-
vanced an Is and then dropped to a. 1t closed
at 265s bid These fluctuations had very little
influence upon sellers. There was good de-
mand for Philadelphia Gas at S21s. but only 50
shares were marketed at that figure. Pipeage
sold at Ian advance. fractions were steady
and unchanged. Wheeling Gas improved a
fraction. The rest of the list was featureless.
Brokers are SAID to hold orders for nearly all
the specialties, but hesitate to place them for
fear of exciting the market. They are bears
for business, but not from principle.

ground. and are much pleased over the fact
that several shops have conceded the wages
demanded, viz, So rs per day. The strike
