NEW YORK, May 17.--The pressure OF

kent prices OF stocks tending downwards
for seyeral days, was relaxed to-day.
This fact seemed to be the principle mo-
five for the buyirg which lifted prices.

the market had become oversod. There
was no development In the news TO ac-
count for a change of temper In specula-
lion. But there were no new develop
ments to induce further selling. A marked
Characteristic OF the trading was the
extreme dullness which overcame the
market at the higher level. This does
not argue well for the continuance OF
price movement In Its current direction.
The most important incident OF the day
was the publication OF the Weather Bu-
