NEW YORK, April 5.
The market turned to-day on the covering OF
shorts which was started by the manifestation
of renewed bull aggression in special stocks.
The bears attempted to make further impress
sion on values to offset the favorable influence
of the vote in the House at Washington which
sustains the Presidents veto of the Brand BILL
No stocks came out and the speculation in the
afternoon showed a recovery of the hopeful
sentiment. Yesterdays vote in Congress con-
firms the security of the currency against new
silver experiments, and there is little doubt That
In the next House of Representatives the friends
of honest money will be largely reinformed if
not absolutely in control. The confidence which
is slowly growing in the safety of national finan
ces will in time lead to a freer investment OF
capital, and considering the present level of
values the effect ought to be important. Con
tinued strength in the foreign exchanges rem
ders 1t possible that gold may be exported ere
long in moderate amounts, but such movement
at this season would not.he regarded as unnat-
ural. Should there be renewal of European
purchases of American securities even this
factor might be eliminated from the situation.
While the financial outlook certainly looks more
healthy and promising it is to be expected that
arevlyal of general business will be retared by
the delay in settling the tariff question in Con-
gress, and hence the recovery i'll railway earn
ings must be slow. The market, however, has
been absorbing realizatiops with gratifying ease
and bear attacks fail to force out important
holdings. The tendency of speculation and
sentiment is becoming more encouraging. and
in our judgment is safe to buy good stocks on
