ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, May 4.-Several factors
combined to give strong tone to the mar
ket for stocks today, and the upward
course of prices was practically without
interruption in nearly all of the standard
shares. The day closed with burst of
animation and buoyancy of values whick
has not been equaled on the exchange for
many weeks. TheSbears were fairly driven
into panic and rushed pell nell to cover,
prices jumping with each succeeding sale.
Large blocks of the principal stocks also
changed hands in quick succession for the
Long account. The volume of trading in the
last hour was very large, especially in
Sugar. though the trading extended gener-
ally all through the active list. The sales
OF Sugar aggregated over one-fourth of the
total sales, which were 10000 shares, a fig
ure In excess of any days sales for several
weeks. The immediate cause Of the
buoyancy was the reporting Of the tariff
bill to the senate. The properties imme-
diately benefited by the provisions Of the
amended bill led in the advance. but the re-
porting of the bill today was unexpected
in Wall street, and the forwardness of the
work toward Its enactment, where delay
was counted upon in the committee, gave
an impetus to business. But the strength
of the market was not all due to the re-
porting Of the tariff bill. The weakness
or the sterling exchange market indicated
that further shipments Of gold on Satur-
day were less probable than was thought.
Demand sterling was weak at 4S7N, and
transactions occurred at 4S7 flat. Bankers
have not, however, definitely concluded not
to ship. The market received encourage
ment at the opening for the good prices
for Americans in London, though London
sold some thousands of shares of stocks
mere during the day, which were, however,
very well absorbed There were slight re-
cessions from the top in some stocks at the
