EXCHANGE REVIEW.

NEW YORK. May 13.-The stock market
opened irregular today, but prices were soon on
the upward tack, and buoyancy marked the
dealings late in May. most important in1u-
ence in creating buoyant tone in the market
was the persistent buying of industrial stocks,
and sugar was bought heavily, scoring rise of
over per cent. at its best figure. In the last
hour buying became general, and rush to
cover shorts sent everything on the list up rap
idly, close being active and strong at about the
best figures of the day in most cases.
Governments steady.
Petroleum opened irregular. Spot was
strong at S619; June at S3. Spot advanced to
961a, reacted, and closed steady at S61S. June
declined to S534, advanced, and closed steady at

In the House.

Tomorrow will be district dav" in the
House and the greater part of the session
will probably be devoted to further con-
sideration OF the bill to establish national
park on Rock Creek, which is the unfinished
business.
Naval matters are likely to be discussed
Tuesday. The committee on naval affairs
has several measures of interest on the
calendar, prominent among which are the
McAdoo bill to prohibit the enlistment of
aliens in the navy and the mates retirement
bill.
The naval appropriation bill is also in a
position favorable to speedy consideration.
About the middle of the week the elec-
tions committee will take the floor, call up
three contested election cases in order,
namely: Posey VS.. Parrett. from Indiana
Bowen VS.. Buchanan. from Virginia, and
Waddell vs. Wise, from Virginia. Over
the first two cases, as the COM
mittee has reported in favor of
the sitting democratic members, there
is likely to be little discussion, save that
Mr.. -Cheadle kis expected to champion Mr..
Posty's claims. But in the case of Waddell
VS.. Wise there will be a triangular fight.
The majority of the committee will contend
for MIR. Waddell, the democratic minority
for new election and Mr.. Wise for his
own seat.
