ERRATIC signs IN
THE STOCK MARKET
A Small Volume of Business
Well Distributed.
The Strength of the Granger Shares
a Feature of the Day.
A Wide Range Of Fluctuation In the
Specinities-A Firm rnder-
tone to 1t All.

| New York, April 1S.-Todays stock
market presented many, appearances Of
irregularity, but in the main it showed
a firm undertone. The dealings were in
comparatively small. volume, bpt they were
very well distributed throughout the several
quarters. Thus there were simultaneous
| ly active dealings in Louisville and Nash
vile, the grangers, the industrials, and the
local transportation shares. This diver
sifcation of interests may be accounted
a wholesome sign against. the prolonged
concentration of activity in a few of the
specialties.
The strength of the granger shares was
a noteworthy feature of the market, de-
veloping as it did with the first of the SER
ious crop scares" of the season and the
buying of these stocks was not checked by
the sustained advance In wheat. Probably
their strength was to a great extent due to
the excellent showing made by the st.
Paul company of the second week of April,
the returns being again the high record
for the period.
The advance in Southern Railway and
Louisville and Nashville two stocks which
have long been out Of the speculative cur
rent, had no particular explanation aside
from considerations of the merits OF the
STOCKS ana tnelr comparative Status IN an
otherwise more or less inflated market.
The current earnings of both roads are
well in excess of last years returns, not
withstanding the special traffic movement
on account of the opening of hostiiities
with Spain, which was then beginning 10
swell the earnings Of the Southern lines.
The dividend policy Oft the Louisville and
Nashville Company was formulated at the
last annual meeting, and there is no doubt
that the holders of Southern Railway pre-
ferred will receive gradually increasing re-
turns on their investment from this time
forward. These stocks. together with the
granger shares, furnished the bulk of the
dealings in the railway list.

Later dealings in the stock market yes
terday developed a strength that the morn
ing hours did not show or give any promise
of There was heavy buying of the gran
gers and other railroad shares in addition
to the usual activity in the specialties and
prices were advanced from a fraction to
two or three points. Mr.. Keene, who has
been a bear on the grangers Burlington
especially, covered his short contracts and
was said TO be heavy buyer. Mr.. Flower
also showed himself in the market though
his specialties were not as buoyant as
they have been on other Duliish days. No
bad news was heard in the street and
wheat fell fractionally in price. The
money rates were comparatively easy. The
highest prices of the day were not main
tanned, though in the active parts of the
list the net gains were generally good.
The outlook is uncertain and the profess
sionals are disposed still to regard the
market ds a traders affair, in which the
best profits can be made by taking quick
profits on either side. The next strong
move may be in either direction, down or
up, but perhaps the stronger element in
the street is buying stocks.
The activity in the grangers was per-
haps the most interesting feature of a
somewhat dull day. The early course of
the wheat market was upward, and both
May and the July options reached higher
prices than any heretofore in this move
ment. May sold for 70 IA and July for
rs Ia. Later, however. there were re-
ports OF good wheat weather and consider
able realizing in wheat followed, which
resulted in prices at the close of the day
somewhat lower than the opening. The
grangers acted in sympathy with the
wheat showing. being inactive in the early
trading, but advancing rapidly and strong
ly later in the day. AS stated above Mr..
Keene, who has been short of Burlington
began to buy when this movement began,
and inspired confidence In the holders of
the stock who had been frightened by his
pessimistic letter on the grangers last
Saturday. Arthur Hunter. of the firm of
Hunter, Cooper g. CO.. was also heavy
