A LIVELY STOCK MARKET,

An Interesting Day on Wall Street
 Prince & Whitely's Stock Market
 Letter.
 New York, April 15.--The opening of the London market was with good tone and general advances. The belief in an early adjustment of the South African difficulties imparts renewed confidence not only in affairs financial but commercial throughout Europe The close of the foreign exchange was buoyant in tone. The feature in our market after a rather conservative opening was the phenomenal trading in Southern R. R. common, the trading in which surpassed anything heretofore known on the Stock Exchange. Sitting down almost the momentary rumors current it now appears that the control of l.. .S N has gone into the hands of the Southern R. R. All information as to detail of agreemnt is so meagre, that it is difficult to form an opinion as to the benefit accruing to the one or the other property. For the good of the general market we think it would be we'll to have the mystery under which the street has been labQring for days past solved. General developments oyer night having q bearing upon the home securities market were favorable more rains fell in the southwest, gross

 only Is higher at a net gain of 33s. The 1 preferred stock gained 3A.
 The extent of the public informa tion | when the stock market closed was con- ltained in the formal statement by the Gates element that they had bought
 control of Louisville and Nashville, and i that they proposed to leave the settle 1 nent of the dispute to J. r. Morgan &, Go. as arbiters. This was accepted as conclusive evidence that Southern Rail- way would be benefited by the settle ment The heavy buying of that stock was by brokers usually employed by the 1 inside interests. But the volume of the
 dealings was sufficient indication that everybody who could get orders eNe- cuted shared in the buying.
 The movement in Illinois Central and in Chicago, Indianapolis and St Louis
 was directly in sympathy with that in Southern Railway. It is supposed that Illinois Central will be allowed to share in the benefit of the Louisville absorp- ton, and that Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis will possibly form 8 connect ing link to Chicago. The very large buying of St. Paul was supposed to be due to renewal of the campaign for a rise by the element which bought Lou isville
 There was some strength in the other grangers and Pacifics and in Pennsyl- vania and Baltimore and Ohio. Amal- ganated Copper advanced at one time over a point but did not hold it. There were notable advances in specialties here and there, International Power ris- ing nearly 12 points. But there were also points of weakness, and outside of the congested centers of activity there was not a very notable demand for stocks
 There was some stiffening of the mon- ey rate again, but the continued calm ness of the money market through the day relieved the apprehension that was felt lest the enormous speculation should develop stringency. The cas- ing of the exchange market indicated that borrowing in foreign markets was being freely resorted to. General con- alterations received little attention. The market closed irregular under real izing.
 The bond market was irregular. The total sales par value, aggregated $4- 990 000
 United States bonds were unchanged on last call.

Great Dealings im southern Railwa

Great Dealings in southern Railway
 New York, April 15.-The dimensions
 of trading in Southern Railway stocks l to-day eclipsed any ever before seen on | the New York Stock exchange. The to- | tai number of shares of common stock 1 is 1,200 900. The dealings recorded in the stock to-day were to the number of S64 800 shares. On April "A, 1901, Union Pacific was dealt in to the extent of
 662S00 shares during the struggle be- tween the Morgan and Hartman inter- ests in the transcontinental field. That figure was far in excess of any previous dealings in a single stock until o-day.
 The tremendous volume of these deal- ings dwarfed the rest of the market, and yet there were a number of other stocks in which the dealings were on a scale only seen during periods of great speculative activity.
 The opening in Southern Railway was quiet enough and the opening bulge in Louisville and Nashville to nearly four points over last night awakened some momentary skepticissn of the overnight reports of settlement of q dispute for
 
 the parties in interest were already in consultation when the stock market opened and there was a scurrying of brokers from the neighborhood of the consultation rooms Immediately buy ing orders appeared in Southern Rail way for seemingly unlimited amounts of the stock. The movement in the stock did not become wild at any time in spite of the extreme advance of 6A points, to 401a,
 The reactionary tendency of Louis vile and Nashville was also a convnc- ing demonstration that the struggle for that stock had terminated and the scramble to get out by the smaller op- orators who had followed the deal car ried it down by successive stages to 1251a The last price, however, left it q 127, a net loss of only point Southern Railway suffered at the last from the profit-taking on the part of the profes- sional element which bought the stock
