WALL STREET REVIEW
OVERFLOW EFFECT FROM PREVIOUS
 RECOVERY.
Uncovered Shorts Were Alarmed and Fur nished Largest Part of the Evi- dent Demand - Professionals
 Reversed Their Position.

New York, May 25.--The strong opening in today's stock market was the overflow Subsequent events made it piaiI. that the demand came largely from uncoverea shown yesterday Their active buying for short time after the opening was freely felt. so that prices made no appreciable progress beyond the first advances.
 The character of this selling intimated the professional buyers and they reversed For a time the professional attitude to wards the market was one simply of ab- pleteiy after the first hour without any im- concessiOns. But with the. perception, of stocks began to dribble upon the market and prices began to crumble. Instead of the gains shown at the opening, the course of the days trading established compara- tive losses

The satfs- faction is indisputable with which security owners regard the fact that a peaceful ad- justment has been made of the contending views of policy and the differences of per sonal temperament which threatened the stability of affairs in the Northwest.
 But this satisfaction on sober considera- tion comes from anger averted rather than from the accomplishment of any striking new good. The unconfirmed rumors of . naval battle was disturbing influence on all speculative markets. and in our own grain market weather reports helped to af- feet the prlce of wheat. while the attempted corner in May corn was continuing in fluence in that market.
 Not much importance was attached either to small failure of stock brokerage house with an exchange connection. The market showed no recuperative force on the down grade. and the closing was weak and at about the lowest
