NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features OF the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, May professional ope
rators all turned bulls, today, soon af-
ter the opening, forced into this posi-
ton ~ the unmistakable temper of the
outside public to come into the market
and buy stocks in large blocks at the
market price The professionals We're
made somewhat wary by the failure Of
the London market to show any indie
pendent interest in American securi-
ties, yesterday, While Wall street was
taking d holiday. They We're also
rather suspicious of the advance in
London before the opening here, this
morning. and disposed to attribute It
TO manipulation from this side.
Prices here failed to respond at the
opening TO the London advance ana
ruled below the London parity for
considerable time. The market WAS
fun Of outside buying orders and bus
mess was on a large scale, but profit
taking sales soon wiped out the small
opening gains. The buying here for
arbItfage account was on a very large
scale in all the International stocks.
The market presented all the charau-
tcristics Of the rampant bull spirit from
time to time the general strength was
taken advantage of for heavy profit
taking in special Stocks. Individual
stocks We're pushed vigorously upward

eral market Traders Were busy seeking
out obscure stocks which had not yet
felt the renewed impetus to business 40

also a conspicuous feature Of the trad

quiet market locally in nearly dry goods.
There is little store trading and the ex-
pansion OF business as carried on oy road
statesmen IS by 10 means up to expecta-
tons IN staple cottons there are few
phenomena which point towards a gen
eral Improvement. The buyers who are
operating in the local market assert that
the conditions are good with them But
they refuse, al the same time. to expand
the scope OF their purchases. BIeached
and brown goods are fairly active Coarse
cottons, colored. are quiet and unchanged
In any trade. Blankets and hannels show
good general results Print cloths are
the most satisfactory goods now in the
market. Extras are still quoted al
cents. Ordered goods are in a steady de-
mand and are firm. Printed cotton goods
are without feature.
