New York May 19.-No greater success
| attended any effort to awaken active spec
ulative interests In stocks to-day. There
| was, in fact, no very vigorous effort to 10
| So the powerful influences in the market
being apparently content to rest on their
oars and wait for more definite informa
ton of the operations of the opposing
| fleets in West Indian waters. The meas
ures taken by the government to shut off
! all informa ton on this subject have APP
parently proved entirely successful, and
Wall street was completely in the dark
There were a number of conspicuous
advances during the day, but they were
by no means uniform nor were they stimuli
taneous. A feature of the trading was the
way in which stocks which have lain dor
mant for some time were awakened into
| movement, and in most all cases this
| movement was sharply upward
There was also a considerable demand
for small lots of dividend paying and
! higher priced Investment stocks, such as
is always concurrent with a release of
large sums of money and an extension OF
| credits.
! Bonds showed a notable awakening into
activity evidently a result of the more
| abundant supply of money. The Missouri
| Pacific issues were all in demand, and were
advanced from III to S1a per cent. There
were very heavy dealings also in Union
! Pacific As at a slight concession from last
! nlghts price. Total sales amounted 10
$2,375000. United States new As, registered.

pons, Is in the bid price. There was no
other change.
