Market Generally Strong, with Al
most No Pressure to Sell.
Meyer & Kiser's telegram

Meyer & Kiser's telegram
NEW YORK, May 13.-Except for a mod
crate reaction shortly after the opening.
to-day's market was strong and with com
paratively little pressure visible. The lead
came from London. where prices were al
most uniformly above our closings. Never
theless London did not buy as heavily as
IL did yesterday. Foreign purchases were
most pronounced in Union Pacific, in re-
gard to which stock the foreigners seem
20 be decidedly bullish. More interest than
usual was taken in the money market. and
when the early loans were made at s per
cent. there was some tendency TO sell
stocks. This, however, proved to be high
est rate for the day and during the after
noon loans were made as low as 4 per cent.
The bulk Of to-day's borrowing was. how
ever, at 8 per cent. Contrary to expecta-
tiOns the exchange market did not
strengthen with the decline in rates. The
explanation being that London has been
a considerable buyer of stocks during the
last few days and that bills have been
drawn against these purchases and have
tended to lower the rate of exchange.
Reading was strong, more especially dur
ing the afternoon. in spite of the fact that
the dispatches from the anthracite coal
district continue TO indicate that a strike
will take place. The opinion is, however,
that the strike will be Of comparatively
short duration, as the miners are probably
being better paid than for many years.
No attention whatever was accorded to the
governemnt crop report I'm spite of its de-
eidedly unfavorable nature. The specula-
tors who, TO a large extent, control the
market at present seem to be confident
that the present range of prices are more
thar warranted by the general business
activity which exists throughout the coun-
try. During the last hour the strength
in the market became still more pro-
nounced and closing quotations were as a
rule the highest of the day.

these: other things being equal, two banks
iOined together are stronger than one. and
three are stronger than two. For this rea-

a union OF banks than in the same number
of banks taken separately. Branch bank

the banks so allied and increase their de-
posits. Branch banking would reduce the

chance that the strike Will not go on. In
that case the market will become very ac-

Hogs-Receipts. 5000; shipments. 1000.
Combined receipts of hogs for two DAYS
exhibit an increase Of nearly 5000 over the
same time last week and a slight i'm
provement over the corresponding time a
year ago. The receipts to-day were about
twice as large as a week ago, and almost
1850 larger than a year ago. A more lib
eral supply was responsible for rather a
quiet opening to the market. notwithstand-
ing reports from other places were favor
able and packers here were inclined TO take
advantage OF the increased receipts. Ship
pers were not very active bidders at the
start. which indicated that they were not
well supplied with orders. and this, OF
course. was some encouragement to pack
ers 10 press the market. Statesmen were
asking an advance, and consequently there
was not very many transactions reported
at the start. Finally. however, shippers be-
gan TO receive orders and were paving
something near the prices expected by
statesmen. When the supply began TO move
In this direction packers took a more lib
eral view OF the situation, and with fair
competition the supply was changing hands
rOmpt enough. Final results of the dav
indicate that prices were probably &c
higher than yesterday. but not quite as
high as the close OF last week. Most deal
ers claimed they were IN about the same
position as last Friday. Competition was
not as strong for mixed lots as for the
hogs or uniform weight, and therefore that
class were the hardest 20 sell. hut a good
