GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, May 2.-The stock market
was quiet to-day: but there was a firm tone
throughout, which advanced prices slowly
but steadily without material change i'll
prices at close. The street is again in u
waiting attitude. There was no life in the
market at any time, and while there was
considerable animation at times in St. Paul
and Burlington, the general list presented
no feature whatever. St. Paul was the
only really active stock, and it succeeded in
scoring larger gain than others; but the
movement was without life. Final changes
are all cases for small fractions only with a
large majority of advances.
Railroad bonds, quiet.
Government bonds, dull and steady.
State bonds, neglected.
