Reyes will soon lay before the

THE STOCK MARKET WAS QUITE STEADY
  In Spite of the Continued Dis couragement Reported. EXPORTS HAVE INCREASED
Crop Prospects Are Playing an Impos- ing Part in Speculative Consider 
 ation and Firmness of Rail-
 roads Has Been Helped

New York, May 19.-The stock market maintained a fairly good speculative tone today in spite of the continued discourage ment reported by the mercantile agencies over the course of commodity prices. Rail- road stocks generally are higher on the day to the extent of fraction and some of the specialtes show larger changes. Sugar was the leader of the market without any news to account for its strength beyond the sug- gestive parallel that might be drawn be- tween its case and that of the New York gas companies whose cosly conflict seems to be ended.
 With the profitable period of the year ap- proacmhing in the sugar trade it is natural to suppose the incentive to settling a con- test that takes away the profit of business is augmented.
 Consolidated reflected the pressure of speculative realizing, and tobacco stocks showed renewed signs of weakness. The local traction stocks continued strong. The market is largely one of specialties. There was some demand for the Vanderbilt stocks apparently on the score of the reported re- turn from Europe of William K. Wander bilt, which was denied after the close.
 
 The statement of the country foreign trade for April showing the largest exports and largest excess of exports for that month in our history emphasized the con- viction that enormous balances remain abroad to the credit of this country placed at interest.
 Crop prospects are playing an imposing part in speculative considerations and the frmness of western railroad shares has been helped by this consideration. The un- dertone in Wall street, nevertheless, con- tinues depressed and uncertain, due to the obvious fact that buying of commodities is still withheld in waiting for indications that bottom prices have been reached.
 The fact that investment buying of bonds has been dull in spite of low rates for money has been a discouraging factor in the stock market. United States refuding 2's, when issued. advanced IA old As and 5's, 11a; new As, %, and the 2's and 3s, ]. in the bid price.
