Stocks and Bonds.

New York. May 24.-There was
substantial strength in todays stock
market as was evidenced by the
length of the list of stocks which We're
lifted between one and two points dur
ing the days trading, and in a few
exceptional instances more than that
The trading offered a number of re-
markable features. One was the small
volume of the demand upon which the
very notable gains were effected If
the buying was for the account of un-
covered shorts it was decidedly free
from any sign of urgency or such
trepidation as the bear trader short of
stocks usually manifests. There was
not at any time a vigorous show Of
resistance to the advance, in spite Of
its desultory and heSitating character
at different stages. There was rather
free selling during the first hour ow-
ing to the wide advances at which
prices opened. This was well alb
sorbed and the slow upward move
ment which followed was allowed to
pursue it's course without any active
opposition from any quarter. At diff
ferent stages of the advance the mar
ket sank into practical stagnation but
the ground yielded on such occasions
was insignificant. There was no def
mite news to account for the move
ment and in fact some of the days
developments might be regarded as
additions to factors recently regarded
as unfavorable. The grain markets
