New York, May 26.-The Evening Post S
London financial cablegram says: THE
stock markets here were good, but quiet
to-day, consols and similar stocks leading
the rise on the reduction from 4 to 31a per
cen. in the Bank of England rate of dis
count, and on cheap money Americans
opened dull on President McKinleys call
for additional volunteers, but soon rallied,
being led by New York Central and Cen
trail Pacific. The former was bought by
New York operators and the latter by
Amsterdam. Grand Trunk was strong"
New York, May 26.-The movement of
prices worthy of particular note in the
stock market to-day was confined to a
few specialtieS, as was also a large part
of the activity in the trading. The major
ity of the list was somewhat dull and
neglected. This was in part due to con-
| Trajectory movement of the few stocks
that showed pronounced activity, and also
to some skepticism over the reported pres
ence of the Spanish fleet in the harbor of
Santiago, and its consequent sealing up.
There were, however, positive elements
of strength in the market which served
to lift prices at one time quite materially
above last nights close.
The mainstay of the market was Rock
Island, which rose at one time 21A points.
Late profit taking in this stock had no
small part in the final reaction In the
market Its early rise was supplemented
by buying orders for London account of
the international stocks and by commits
sion house buying of the Changers. There
is a constantly increasing supply of money
offering and the small demand for il in
dicates some haltins in the business ac-
tivty of the country. There was no mark
ed activity in the bond market, but prices
were firmly held. Total sales, 81, lie, OO0.
