MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK. April Gothic London market this
morning again showed cxtrome strength for Amer
lean stocks. The market failed to fully respond
to this advance but everything was materially
higher at the opening than 1t was last evening,
wble the amount of business done in the rest Of
tho list was hardly as largo as at tho same time
yesterday. Thorc was at the opening however,
the same pressure to sell and prices again moved
of, generally small fractions. Later in the hour
tho pressure WAS removed, tho market then bccom-
ing loss active and ralying slightly. Tho up
ward movement did not assume largo proportions
and at IL o'clock tho market was active and
rather foverish at small fractions below tho opon-
ing figures.
