joye1 n period of strength this morning, but
the carly gains were practically all wiped out
before the day ended, except in the few sge-
cial stocks which had sLstained the list all
day. Even some OF those closed at prices
as low or lower than last nights closing, Rock
Island, in which the predominant financial in
terest is the same as in Peoples Gas, was the
most conspicuous figure In the railroad list
aud was advanced almost points in the
early trading, but saved only a little over Il
point OF its net gain. The grangers as a
group shared in this early strength and
thcre was good buying also In the Wander
bilts.
London was buyer of the international
stocks In this market, and there were con-
spicuous gains in the cases of several isolated
stocks. The sentiment Of the exchange Is by
no means satisfied with the lethargy in the
money market. the absence OF funds arguing

LIVERPOOL LACKING IN INTEREST.
Office OF The Post.

Houston. Friday, May 2s.
With Liverpool closing for the whitsuntide
holidays and New York observing Decoration
day. there was naturally apathy in specua-
ton. as traders are always chary on holidays.
Locally there was nothing doing aud the
trend Of spots was dull. There is. however,
some little inclination to deal In futures, and
this lends strength to dropping market.
Advices from New York are as follows:
There was nothing exciting In todaya market.
Liverpool having suspended operations until
Tuesday. on account OF Whtsuntidc holiday.
and New York closing on Monday left little
Involvement to operate. The crowd WAS rather
disposed to the bull side. Now Orleans did
little here and Liverpool sold the now crop

efforts to bull August were made on claims
