STOCKS AND bonds.

New York, May 19.-The stock market
maintained a fairly good speculative tone
to-day, in spite of the continued discour-
egement reported by the mercantile agen-
cies over the course of commodity prices
Railroad stocks generally are higher on
the day to the extent of a frac ton, and
some of the speciaIties show larger
changes.
Sugar was the leader of the market
without any news to account for its
strength, beyond the suggestive parallel
that might be drawn between its case,
and that of the New York Gas Company's,
whose costly conflict seems to be ended.
With the profitable period of the year
approaching in the sugar trade, 1t is nat
urai 10 suppose that the incentive 10 =ei-
ting a contest that takes away the profits
of the business is augmented. Consohdat-
ed Gas reflected the pressure of specula-
tive realizing, and the tobacco stocks
showed renewed signs Of weakness. The
local traction stocks continued strong. The
market was largely one of speclalties.
There was some demand for the Wander
bilt stocks, apparently on the score of the
reported return from Europe of William
X. Vanderbilt which was denied after
the close. Union Pacific gained a large
fraction. Burlington and Norfolk and
Western halted in the advance which was
the feature of yesterdays market, while
traders took their profits. The weekly
statement of railroad earnings, so far as
received was favorable. The bank state
ment was favorable in the doubtful item
of loans, which showed a very small in
crease thus relieving apprehensions that
banking resources might be encroached
upon faster than they were replenished.
The item of cash increase showed a slight
ly larger movement from the interior
than had been estimated.
The bond market showed decided i'm
provement, both in the volume of the
demand and the prices brought. The
sharp advance in government bonds was,
of course. in response to the announce
ment from Washington of the calling of

SPIRITS TURPENTINE-Wh the
market for turpentine was unchanged as
to the price to-day, there was an appar-
ent weakening, which resulted in the mar
ket being posted dull at the opening, and
closing dull. There were sales a the OPEN
ing of 200 casks, which constituted the
transactions for the day The demand
was moderate and the effect of the early
closing rule among the factorage houses
was to close down business early. The
receipts were 1,S43. sales 200, and the ex-
ports 1,243.
ROSINS-The other gains in the rosin
market to-day is regarded as confirming
the belief that the downward tendency
of rosins has been checked, and that the
market may recover some of its heavy
losses of the past week. An advance of
five each was posted as TO pales on Fri
day. To-day all other grades, including
NJ and below, went up five cents, at which
the market was posted firm. The receipts

THE RICE MARKET.

Advices from primary markets note in
dependence and Indifference among first
hands in the matter of marketing; sales
therefrom small, and principally of grades
not elsewhere obtainable Good business
however, is reported as doing from specu-
Iatve and other SECOND hands. No in
considerable number appear to have pur-
chased in excess of possible requirements
on the part of their own trade, for with
hardening prices stock is coming out from
unexpected quarters. Assortments among
these last are broken, and all outside
holdings will probably be cleaned out by
close of present month. Contrary condi-
tons seem to be following the new crop;
with superabundant rainfall, growth of
grass is rank and cultivation generally re-
tarded. In the Georgetown district
South Carolina there have been most
destructive freshets-nearly all of the
April planting so badly damaged as to
necessitate re-seeding.
