New York, May 4.-Several factors COM
bined 10 give a strong tone to the market
for stocks to-day and the upward course
Of prices was practically without Interrupt
ton of any reactionary tendency all day in
nearly all of the standard shares. The
day closed with burst of ANNA ton and
buoyancy of values, which has not been
equalled on the exchange for many weeks.
The bears were fairly driven Unto a panic
and rushed pell MEL to cover, prices jump
ing with each succeeding sale. Large
blocks of the principal stocks also changed
hands in quick succession for the long &C
count. The volume of trading in the last
hour was very large, especially in Sugar,
though the trading extended pretty gener-
ally all through the active list The sales
OF sugar shares aggregated for the day
over one-fourth of the total sales, which
were 100000 shares, a figure in excess of any
days sales for several weeks. There was
notable activity also in Chicago Gas, the
Changers and Western Union, and the An
thraclte coal group was strong, though
not quite so conspicuous in the dealings.
The immediate cause of the buoyancy in
the market was the reporting of the tariff
bill to the Senate. The properties which
are Immediately benefited by the provis-
ions of the amended bill led in the advance,
but the reporting of the bill to-day was
unexpected in Wall street and the for
wardness of work toward its enactment,
where delay was counted upon in the COM
mittee, gave an impetus to business in all
securities on the list. Sugar naturally
derived the greatest benefit from the pub
lished provisions of the bill and Tobacco
and Leather did not participate in the
gains which resulted in other stocks. But,
the strength of the market was not all
due to the reporting of the tariff bill. The
weakness of the sterling exchange market
indicated that further shipments of gold
on Saturday were less probably than was
thought. Demand was weak at $4S7A,
and transactions occurred at 4.S fiat.
Bankers have not however, definitely con-
cluded not to ship The markets also re
ceiVed encouragement at the opening from
though London sold some thousands of
shares of stocks here during the day.
which were, however very well absorbed,
The Gould stocks were made the center
of the bears efforts to work a reaction in
the market and were depressed The to
tai sales Of stocks amounted to 1872 5
shares, including American Tobacco, S,700;
American Sugar $4,000; Burlington, 13. 400:
Chicago Gas, 1880; Delaware and Hudson
$500; Manhattan $780, Missouri Pacific
1900; Omaha, 800; Reading, 1880; st.
Paul. 1920; Western Union Telegraph
Company 10400.
Railway bonds also moved up on large
dealings Business was ia rly well distrb-
