NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 23.-The level of prices of stocks was lifted another notch as a result of to-day's trading. The dealings were not large and there was general activity in the mar ket. That is to say, the volume of dealings in the speculative favorites not very large and number of important stocks were inact- i've At the same time It was not noticeable that number of usually active shares were moved and this gave the market the appear ance of a broadening tendency which a closer analysis did not altogether confirm. There a large number of individual transactions Of the small dividend paying stocks indcat- ing demand from investment sources Buy ing of this character is usually designed for permanent or longtime holding and always accompanies plentiful supply Of money. There was no evidence, however Of any widespread general interest in stocks and the speculative pupnc evidently prefers to wait for definite outcome to the naval maneUvers in West In dian waters. There was a good market for Americans in London and prices were well sIs- tained on a belief that Spain would shortly sue for peace There was a coincident rise of a point or over in Spanish 4s in London and Paris A. rumor that this was due to a pend ing Franco-Spanish alliance did not hurt Amer leans in London. London was also buyer of St. Paul here, and altogether quite a factor in the strength of the New York market Northwest responded to its excellent statement and radiated strength through both the Van derbilt and the Granger groups, with each of which 1t was coordinate.
