STOCK MARKET IRREGULAR
London Furnished Higher Prices

New York, May 26.-sToday's stock mar
ket was without the influence OF any
facts bearing upon the progress of the
war. and even the rumors with which the
street is usually plentifully supplied were
of an uninspiring character AS a matter
OF fact substantial financial concern is re-
ally with the wearisome debate on the
war revenue bill. which is dragging its
slow length along In the Senate, but sin
gularly enough. the proceedings in the
north wing of the Capitol are almost en-
tirely ignored in speculative calculations
London furnished a higher range OF
prices for American stocks this morning
and in addition sent moderate buying or
ders into this market To these circum-
stances the frmness of the market in the
| early dealings was largely to be referred.
The more important of the railway traf-
| fic returns reported today were those of
the roads south of the Potomac and of
these the Southern Railway and Louis
Vile and Nashville made the best show
ing
The day was marked by a number of ir-
regular movements. of which the most
conspicuous among the active stocks were
a further advance in Rock Island and u
pronounced decline in Manhattan The
close was dull with but few important
net changes.

The Inspection

Great preparations were being made yes
terday for the inspection on Saturday by
the President and the Cabinet. Squads
OF men from every regiment were on ''po-
lice duty" Police duty covers so many
evils that the men have come to regard
il as prison duty" Squads detailed on
police duty have TO dig pits, gather re-
fuse, make trenches, roads and otherwise
render a camp habitable.
The various parade grounds were care
fully gone over yesterday and loose
stones gathered, hollows filled in and the
big fields leveled as much as possible
The police duty squads of the Sixth
Massachusetts are an industrious crowd.
Under the personal care of Adjutant But
Ter Ames they have tranformed one whole
side of the camp into really pretty
place. These squads built a new bridge
on the road leading TO the New York
camp yesterday.
One feature of the camp which puzzles
the troops is that it rains regularly every

less Il does rain at about o'clock every
afternoon. The men have come TO expect
it and rather like ii, as il cools the atmos-
phere.
