NEW YORK. May i2-Today's market
Tor stocks was almost a repetition OF
yesterdays. whatever strength there was
seheraIiy manifested not outiasting long
Tie close or the London exchange and the
strength reflected from there, which was,
however. less marked than yesterday.
London also WAS again a purchaser OF Sc
eurities IN this market. though not in so
large a volume as yesterday. Some pur-
chases We're also said TO be for Holland
account. some sales for foreign account
were also made. The duliness of trading
was In part due TO the expected announce
ment OF d further gold shipment, but this
was not forthcoming beyond an increase
or only $4,000 by house which had al
ready announced 10000 by tomorrow's
steamer.
Whatever shipments may be made by
saturdays steamer are now expected to
be small There is in fact a very light de-
mand fer exchange. and no encourage
ment To offer bills against gold. III Is evil
dent that a very small quantity OF these
would break the exchange market below
the. profitable point for gold shipments.
The considerable purchases of our securi-
ties by London yesterday and today has q
tendency TO weaken exchange.
An increase in the exports from the port
of New York for the week of l,54o. 266
somewhat offset the enormous imports of
last week and the government receipts
from the customs from day 10 day show
that this weeks imports will hardly
reach anything like last weeks figures.
On the other hand New York exchange on
Paris shows a tendency 10 harden, and
the Paris rate on London declined slight
ly again today. AS a result of the up
ward movement OF stocks today and the
subsequent reaction, net changes are for
the most part very narrow.
The restricted character of the market
is shown by the fact that Sugar and Chi
cage Gas absorbed over one-third of the
total dealings, and as these two stocks
were notably depressed they constitute an
effective drag OH the market. The foreign
purchases of stocks were estimated at
from t2,0o0 TO l5oo9 shares. The decline in
Sugar reaened i IL VII. VI 1mpa paly o. the

action in the market carried the list gem
orally TO a fraction below last night
