The Volume of Share Business the Smallest

ton Statement Preoipitates
GeDeral Sailing Mova,nant


NEW YORK. April 29.-The stock market to-
day showed no material change. The volume
of business was smaller than on any day for a
week, but the explanation of this fact is the
withdrawal of the bear forces and the diminu-
ton of short sales consequent upon the stub
been resisted, and the lll-success OF such at
Temps. The way in which the market has re-
sp6nded to bad news of late. however, gives the
bulls confidence that no decline of Importance
would be permitted.
The weak opening this morning was caused
principally by the calling orders from London,
but the offerings. even! when swelled by the
were absorbed readily, aud the conservative
bulllsh temper of the street Was reflected in
the quiet business and steady upward move
ment of prices. The issue of the Burlington
statement of earnings for March precipitated
selling movement. which had the effect of
knocking Burlington off per cent. The list
followed IN the wake and prices were Drought
down to something below the level of the open
ing figures all along the line. The market
finally closed steady. the efforts in the last few
minutes to recover stock put out on the de-
cline, making a slight rally. The close was
quiet and steady at fractional losses.
Railroad bonds were quiet ard without inter-
est, the movements on sales of 81, ,06l, 900 being
slight in all cases.

for Electrical Probable Explana-
,tion-Tractions Still Climbing.
The local stock market yesterday was full Of
good points. Everything was strong. Adj
yances extended to nearly all the leaders. This.
in the face of weaker outside markets, denotes
that the support was mainly or wholly local,
perhaps the only exception being Electric.
Total sales were Ais shares furnished by Wheel
ing Gas, Electric and Luster.
Electric was again the feature. The first sale
was at IA and the last at l4s4. II closed at l41s
bid and Is asked. There were sales at Boston
at 154. 1t closed there at Is bid and 15l4 asked.
There was good demand for the stock at the
Hub, and this stiffened the market at both
ends of the line. No one seemed TO know any
cause for this advance, save such as buying
always furnishes. 1t was suspected by some
that the Fast had been given some favorable
tips. but if so they failed to reach Pittsburg.
The following from the Boston Traveller
may afford an explanation: "The strength of
Westinghouse has been due chiefly to the cur
rent report that now comes from authoritative
sources that reorganization OF the company
and a complete adjustment OF all its financial
difficulties is just ready for announcements A
gentleman who is very close to Mr.. Westing-
house told the Traveller Monday morning that
developments might come now at ans, time
The buying of the stock has come largely from
strong people-and under it the stock has sold
up to 14z.n .rl&
group was another good feature of the market
Manchester Traction was wanted at 3411. but
was held at 40 The reason why it is not listed
is that considerable of the old stock has not
been turned in. Central Traction advanced to
~ bid, Citizens to 645s and Pittsburg to 34
These figures failed to lhhnence sellers Well
posted people predict still better prices for
these securities, for the reason that they repre-
sent substantial interests whose income.pro-
ducing capacity is capable Of almost indefinite
development.
Philadelphia Gas closed a fraction better
than he opening on light offerings Manufact-
urers' Gas moved up to % bid and "a asked.
Luster improved almost a point. Mononga-
hela Water Company finished with a
gain. Switch and Signal preferred was
weaker; the common was neglected.

canoe Of the auction sale. Transactions follow:
