in Stocks Better.

LONDON. May 1.-THE tone Of the stock
exchange has greatly improved and the re-
vival Of business is extending into all the
markets. The rise is largely due to the
more pacific aspect Of affairs in South Africa,
while the apparent end of the Eastern war
has brought host of buyers who are anxious
to get in at the present low prices, though
the resumption OF hostiiities caused slight
setback.
There is an active demand in gold for the
continent, but large shipments are on the
way from Australia and Africa, and money
rates continue low. All foreign stocks show
better figures. Greeks are rising on the gem
eral belief that Greek finances will be placed
under European control.
Argentines, Brazlians and Peruvians all
show a considerable RISE. and Americans
Joined in the activity in the early part Of
last week, though they fell off again some
what on news Of the revival Of the tension
with Spain over Cuba. There have been large
purchases in Norfolk & Western, which
continues to advance The remainder Of the
American list has shown little change, but
when there has been any it has been for the
better. There has been an active demand
for London dock shares on the strength Of
increased business.
