They show no colors, hail on ship, take
no prizes and sail into no port. Yet
they are there, a long procession of

1t is indeed singular that so many re-

should come from the same quarter
and be made by men who ought to
know what they are talking about,
without a vestge of foundation for

The Features Of the Days Dealings in All

ket was active aud strong. but the ac-
tiyity and strength were not by any means
uniformly distributed. The Changers ex-
.rcised a powerful sustaining influence
and Rock Island was the feature Of the
group, st. Paul closed the day with a
net gain Of over two points. The newly
published statement Of liurlIngton's Aprll
earnings with a similarly large proper
ton absorbed in operating expenses was
a drag on that stock early in the day.
but it's tone improved later and there was
a net rise Of IL. The buoyancy in Rock
Island was accompanied by notable
show OF strength in others of the Flower
group. Brooklyn Transit was also up
nearly two points at one time.
The recent rise in the Iron stocks con-
tinued today. Minnesota Iron and Illinois
Steel rising respectively q. points Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois rose 6is points.
ana Northern Pacific pfd.. Union Pacific
pfd and Sugar also developed strength.
A ris" Of SAs In Delaware & Hudson should
also be mentioned.
The buoyancy of so large number of
important stocks was sufficient to carry
the whole market upwards, but the
strength was much less notable ut other
points In the list. London bought stocks
in this market and a beneficial effect gem
orally was felt from the definite location
OF Admiral CerVcras fleet in Santiago
harbor. But the benefit from this factor
Was due principally to its giving froer
