and so the stock markets here were bet

New York, May 1S.-The bull campaign
inaugurated yesterday on the Stock Ex-
change promised well during the early
part of to-day, but before the close the
advantage gained earlier had all been lost,
and prices as rule were lower than last
night, not only In the speclalties, whose
weakness stopped the advance. but in the
standard stocks and those which led the
advance as Well.
AZ the opening the bull contingent had
to face a series Of declines for Americans
IN London, but the tendency Of the Lon
don market after It's opening was up
ward and the declines there were ignored
prices here opening higher all along the
line. There was a fair volume Of orders
to buy which had come 70 commission
houses over night, as q result Of the
strength displayed yesterday and there was
no selling for London account to amount
TO anything.
The stringent measures adopted by the
government to stop the publication OF news
OF navl operations has proved highly eff
cacfous and information seemed 10 be en-
tirely lacking in Wall street to-day.
This tended to beget some feeling OF
nervousness and doubt which helped on
the reaction. The money market was
quotably lower to-day and sterling ex-
change was isc higher an around, but the
easier money conditions had no effect on
speculation. The weakness OF wheat
doubtless had some sympathetic effect
Bonds were dull all day and prices moved
very narrowly, but were well held In the
late reaction In the stock market. Total
sales amounted 10 81 100000 United States
new As coupon were Nc lower In the bid
