New York. May 1e.-The pace of the
stock market yesterday became little
rapid near the close, but not sufficiently
so to arouse misgivings- In fact, there
was a rather general agreement among
conservative observers that the specula-
ton looked healthier and more stable than
in some time
The recovery from the sheer craze of
May has been so rapid that the street
is inclined to accept it a bill of
health. Certainly the completion of enor-
nous liquidation of last week and the
past panic liquidation early this week
without any but the most insignificant
failures connected with the stock eX-
change, is remarkable
1t is beginning to be realized that a
large part of the losses resulting from the
break a week ago represented merely
shrinkage of the profits on paper. The
damage done TO specials has been com
paratively slight considering the crcum-
stances. Another very encouraging feat
ure since the severe break has been the
outright purchases Of scattered amounts
of stocks large in the aggregate and the
shipment of them to the buyers at many
interior towns and cities outside of New
York
