THE MARKET STRONG
BUT FEATURELESS
Specialties Develop PrOnOunc-
ed Activity.
The St Paul Statement Increases
Interest in the Grangers.
Sugar Refining Conspicuous i'm the
Industrial Quarter General
Trading Active and Steady.

New York, April 25.-The recovery in
today's stock market would be difficult of
explanation unless recourse was had TO
the general circumstances Of the situa-
ton as they appeared at the opening OF
the week, but which were quite ineffect-
i've in yesterdays market In the place
of yesterdays sagging places there was a
general rise today, which took place al
most without any increase in activity.
There were no new features whatever in
the general situation calculated to ineite
speculative interest, and, as noted in as
signing apparent causes for the market S
strength, il was necessary to revert to
such developments as the bank statement
of Saturday, the most seasonabie weather,
and the March statements OF the rail-
ways.
The market developed Increasing actiy-
ity with the course of the day, which may
be accepted as evidence OF the general tenn
per OF the speculative public. While the
market as whole was very firm, the most
pronounced movements were again in the
specialties. Manhattan Beach advanced
with particular rapidity and without any
special or definite explanation. Ii was
assumed that the movement in the stock
had some relation to the development of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system. Su-
gar Refining was likewise conspicuously
strong and active, and in this instance
the old agreement" stories were revamp
ed with their customary efficacy in the mar
ket. These were again wholly lacking in
verifcation, but. as usual, were quite in
accord with speculative sentiment
The granger shares were more active
than for some time, their strength being
in part due to the excellent statement of
St Paul for the third week of the month,
and also to expectations that the Govern
ment's weekly crop report would indicate
some improvement of conditions since the
estimate of the 10th instant
The Industrial quarter, aside from Su-
gar Refining was not particularly active.
American Smelling broke rather sharply
in the early dealings, but subsequently, re-
covered the loss. Manhattan Railway was
a notably weak feature of the market, SELL
ing in that quarter being in anticipation
OF the report of the board of health on the
property. The general market closed
active and fairly steady.

New York, April 25.-Efforts have been
made in some quarters during the past few
days to create a bullish feeling in cotton,
but the majority Of people see nothing in
the crop situation at present to warrant
higher prices. Manipulation, If it should
bring about a higher level could hardly
hold prices up for long The crop is
late and smaller acreage is contemplated
in some sections, but the outlook on the
whole is good for this season OF the year.
Mills are pretty well supplied. Liverpool
also shows waning power, and this can
not fail to adversely affect prices after a
while. The weather map this morning
showed Temperature as low as SIS at Little
Rock and 72 at Corpus Christi. The whole
cotton region has fair weather excepting
insignificant rains on the South Atlantic
Coast iE-
First prices were l to lower, but there
was very little business. Shortly after
the opening Liverpool bought, and an out
Of town export house also commenced to
buy, which quickly wiped out the early
loss. Prices closed / and points above

were unchanged to 1-2 lower.

pretty nearly the bottom ones. Liquida-
tion of long lines by commission people
was the feature, the Southwest leading in
the selling. The circumstances behind the
selling was probably improved crop as
surance. 1t was more like spring over the
weather map than on any day so far, high
er temperatures and scattered showers.
Liverpool was up SIS in the early, but lost
it. Liverpool spot prices were OFF 1-2d.
There was a decline in the worlds visible
of 3.112.000 bushels, but the decrease a
year ago was larger even than that There
was no demand here to amount to any
thing. The seaboard at the close sent
claims Of very large business there. but it
has been the experience of late that the
seaboard's big export figures received
while the market has been going have not
been confirmed at night. The outsider has
stopped buying under that impulse and the
professional naturally has left off because
of that.

Yesterdays stock market was in every
way an Improvement over any heretofore
in the past two weeks. The volume OF
business was much larger and the buying
at all times was good. Prices went up
steadily during the first four hours of the
day and during the last hour declined
only fractionally, so that the close was at
good net gains for the day. There is no
particular reason TO be assigned for the
apparent entire change of feeling except
the weakness of wheat, which went of a
cent and a half, and the clearing Of the
diplomatic situation of danger from the
Coghlan Incident. Both of these matters
are important, however, temporarily at
least Curious as it may seem there was
much early selling Of long stock. owing
to some unfavorable aspect of the Cogh-
Ian incident AS for the lower price for
wheat the experts differ, as usual. but the
preponderance OF opinion is that the crop
reports from this time will be more favor
able. The outlook for today is good and
many believe that the advance in prices
will continue, This will almost surely be
the case If the price of wheat continues 10
decline. Flower was a buyer of his spe-
ciaIties and the big traders generally took
the bull side. The features of the day
were the grangers. which all advanced
well: Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Manhat-
tan. which were strong at times, but
closed weak, Sugar, and Illinois Central.
The action of the grangers was partic-
ularly encouraging TO the bulls because of
the weakness of this group during the past
two weeks. The buying of these stocks
was directly traceable 10 the encourage
ment from the decline in wheat. Buring-
ton had the strongest advance for the day,
but also the largest decline at the close,
so that II makes no net gain. 81. Paul, on
the other hand, opened at 121 "a, ad-
ranced point and then declined to
l2S is, closing with nearly half point
net gain. Rock Island opened at i16 1-2
and closed at III. Atchison preferred
had net gain OF 3-s. The earning of st.
Paul for the third week of April were an
nounced in the morning and as usual
showed large increase, about $4,000.
This was considered an especially bullish
factor for this this stock, as the con-
tinued increase means that the company
will fulfill all expectations as to the
amount earned on the stock for the year.
There are many advices from excellent
sources to buy the stock for a good ad-
vance In the near future. and It seems GER
tain that 1t will come If the market is in
the least favorable.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was bought
heavily by Mr.. Flower during the early
part OF the day after the first hours in
activity and advanced to 1872 rs at one
time. The level fuetuated between this
end i32 nearly all day. but during the last
hour went of to l3l SIS. The action of the
stock was better than for some time past
and IL seems probable that IL may be the
leader of the advance OF the market today

Manhattan, although strong with Brook

sharply during the last hour so that it

Sugar was one of the features of the
! day, with much activity at all times and
| a general upward tendency which resulted
| in net gain for the day Of over three
points. There were sharp fluctuations in
the stock, but manipulation by a pool
which was willing to buy stock was ap-
parent, and tips were out that an advance
of ten points would occur in the next few
| days. The talk of the better relations be-
tween the Sugar people is still heard on
the street and probably has some founda-
| tion- Despite the generally bullish feeling
with regard to the stock, however, II is
noticeable that conservative people are

even if il is to have an advance il probably

after.
New Jersey Central was weak, contrary

who had been chiefly instrumental in
causing the advance last week sold some

Anaconda was one of the features of the
morning business. a great amount of stock

stock was strong during the entire day
