NEW YORK. May 5.-The stock market was
free today from the pressure of urgent liqulda-
tfon which broke yesterdays market, recov-
cred vigorously something more than the
There was decided shrinkage in the vol
ume of business, showing that the bidding up
cover a less amount of stocks than was sold
yesterday. This constitutes excellent show
ing Of the reduced volume of stock tbnn oering
strength and relief afforded by the liquidation
so fer. completed. but there was very
higher level Of prices, the duilness of the
trading showing a progressive increase The
inference is that the buying was to large
extent forced in the same way that yester-
The bear traders who followed the decline
yesterday with free short sales felt obliged
to cover their short contracts in the face Of
the evidence that the most urgent liquidation
was completed.
Some OF the fears caused yesterday by the
signs Of weakness in the market or which
bears lost their force today and the relief
thus afforded helped on the rally.
There was no important change in the new, news
change in the temper shown in its interpreto-
tion. The attitude toward Reading affords
an illustration. The stock was sold on account
of the news of the distribution of part of
the Lake Shores treasury holdings, as this
was supposed to be well-informed view that
the price had advanced unwarrantedly.
Yesterdays failures of n conflict at the
nosed issue Of sioo 600 ooe Of preferred stocks
were converted today into hopes of an ex-
traction at that meeting Of special benefit to
stockholders. The street was without news
from the meeting up to the close Of the
market.
The Northwestern and Pacific stocks. how
ever, were the aggressive leaders of the re-
bound in prices, they had been most
acutely affected by the preceding drop. The
Southern group was also notably strong as
they also had suffered more than the average
from the violence of the reaction from the
excessive speculative advance.
Consolidated Gas had the benefit of the
failure of the attempt to pass law reducing
the price of gas in this city.
The effect of the weakness here yesterday
had an unsetting influence in today's early
foreign market and some action seemed to
be given there also to the fears of interna-
tional friction The foreign depression was
of only slight effect on opening market
and the recovery set in promptly.
The estimates of the weeks currency move
ment indicated nominal gain in cash by
the banks.
The upward rush of Peoples Gas at the end
was due to the report of the defeat Of a
gas bill in the Illinois legislature.
The sharp reaction during the final hour
and the recovery to the firm closing were
notable for the exceedingly light dealings on
which they were offered
Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par value.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
5esrish Sentiment In the Wheat Pit.
Corn Prices Firm
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 5.-.sentiment in the wheat
pit was bearish today and the volume OF
trading was small. One cause of dullness
was uncertainty surrounding the government
crop report which will be issued next
Wednesday and which will give the condition
and acreage OF winter wheat. The general
Impression seemed to be that the report would
be OF a bearish character.
At the opening the market was quite steady
on q fair demand Of shorts. July was up a
shade. at Sa9hc, selling by pit traders soon
causing a reaction, July declining to s2Nc.
Poor demand for cash wheat and flour in OUT
side markets had considerable effect in fore
Ing down the value Of wheat In this market.
The market closed easy with July at S3h6
s3hc. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago re-
ported receipts of 81 cars against 149 last
week and "a year ago.
Small receipts of corn caused fairly active
buying by shorts resulting in firm market.
July opened a shade to b@Nc higher, at
4e%946Ao, sold between 46hd46S and 47c and
closed at 46Md47c. Receipts were 81 cars,
with 20 Of cMontract grade.
Oats were firm and business light. July
opened unchanged to n shade higher at 2Shq
2ec to 29c. sold between 2s7t@2o and 2sis
closed at 2shc. Local receipts were 70 cars
Provisions we're steady in sympathy with
a 1o-cent advance in the price of live hogs
At the close July pork was up "a, at $12.32ia
lard UP 2h95c, and ribs were up 2hG5c.
