New Yory, May 31.-The strength Of

spots at first but the strong stocks
had a sympathetic influence on the
general list and advances became gen
eral during the late trading. Inter
national politics seemed TO play a
small part in the market and a be-
lief that early peace was to be forth
coming was not SO distinct a factor
as on Monday. Japanese bonds in
this market continued to overshadow
an others in prominence but moved
with some irregularity.
Evidence of pressure against United
States steel stocks was q factor in
turning prices downwards during the
morning. Reports were current that
pract cally all existing pools and ar
rangements TO maintain prices of the
steel rail pool. Fears were entertain

difficulties of keeping up prices ana

Sentiment early was bearish, offerings
quite free, lower cables, excellent
weather conditions and liberal move
ment in northwest being dominating
influences. Commission houses led in
selling. AS the session advanced buy
ing was of a better character, largely
due to the strength Of May at Mime
apols. Later the market for future
deliveries slumped off severely, the
close on July being the lowest point
Of the day.
CORN-Feature of trading was the
advance OF nine cents in the price of
May delivery. A sharp advance
marked the close of a bull campaign
in that option. At the opening prices
were up 1 cent at 50. Within half an
hour the price touched 55A. Profit
taking by a prominent trader caused
reaction to the opening point. Prices
soon rallied again on covering OF
