THE EXCITEMENT IN COPPER.  How the London Advance Is Interpret
 eG--PartipI Renction.

New York, May 2.--The copper trade was much excited to-day by the sharp advances in London yesterday, all though it was admitted on all sides that the quotations had been some> what misunderstood here. It was point ed out that yesterdays high price of G114 los. per ton, at London, applie2 to what that market knows as best selected copper" and should not be confounded with the standard grade. The extreme advance in best selected, at London, yesterday, represented a rise of G 10s for the day, Tuesday s closing quotation being G11S. The price went off los. in London to-day, best selected being quoted here at G114.
 Even in quarters which have dis trusted the advance 1t was admitted to- day that the rise in best-seected cop per at London yesterday reflected &C., tual. trade conditions, and that the ad- vance was not brought about by mani pulation In Metal Exchange circles the rise in the best-selected grade was much discussed to-day, as showing that the trade demand in London had been somewhat under-estimated here, al- though to-day's reaction was considered to show that the market was wagering, and could not be called stable. Best selected copper in London has sold this year as high as f11S per ton, and as low as 9107 To-day's price of 9114 is therefore just about half way between
 The sharp fluctuations in standard copper at London yesterday were at. tributed here to speculative influences After touching 9t0S per ton yesterday which wasG3 above Tuesdays level the price reacted to e106 15 shillings before the close.

in company with the common stock, although the report of an intended holding company has been current ever since Union Pacific became active and strong. It was only recently pointed out that preferred stockholders would share with common shareholders rights to any distribution of Union Pacific treasury assets. The jump in the pre- ferred stock to-day might be ascrlbed either to a belated recognition of the value of expected rights or precep- tion by market operators of the ineon- gruity of a rise in the common not shared in by the preferred. The lack of authentic information to account Tor | the Union Pacific movement makes it somewhat uneonvincing as a reflection of general market conditions. The sympathetic influence of the action of the Hartman stocks was most distinct in other transcontinental stocks and others that have been joined in previ- ous movements in the group. The cop per ndustrials showed some independ- ent strength, due to the strength of the lmetal.
 Some benefit accrued to the late stock market from the failure of the wheat market to hold its extreme rise. There was an increased disposition also tc aseribe part of the keen demand tol wheat to the poor prospects of foreign lharvests as well as our own. The money markets underwent no marked change in conditions.
 Union Pacific was pushed to above 15O, but the even figure was evidently

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Again Responsive to the Course of Un-
 ica Pacific.

New York, May 2.-The stock mar
 ket to-day again showed itself respon-
 sive to the course of Union Pacific, and not much of any other development.
 The tone was heavy during the early part of the day. Union Pacific shared to some extent in the decline, The better tone which ensued when the Hartman stocks turned upwards was not widespread and was not decided, outside of that immediate group. The strength of Union Pacific was as much without explanation in any special de- velopment as it has been from the first, and continued, in consequence, the sub ject of great variety of unconfirmed rumors. The squirt in the preferred stock preceded the recovery in the com mon stock and served to revive the rumors of a distribution of shares in a company which would hold Union Pa ciflc stocks in other companies, The preferred stock has not hitherto moved

The sharp rise in wheat, amounting to nearly two cents a bushel by early in the afternoon, with the July future at Chicago selling around 1 o'clock at S5 S-S, filled many with apprehension for the future of the stock market. The forcible marking up of Union Pacific and Southern Pacific would serve to divert attention away from wheat for a time, and temporarily stop liquidat- ing sales of securities.
 Atchison common did not rally much, but there was pronounced recovery in the bonds. They opened at 9S 1-2 and later block of $242, ,OOO, was quoted at 9S IA, compared with 977-S on We'd nesday. It is believed that good part of the Atchison bonds will be placed abroad. Cables from London charac- terized them as cheap. It is recognized now that the action Of the directors in placing the stock on a per cent basis helped them when they came tc offer a per cent. bond convertible into stock.

Tn some quarters it was said that the advance in the Union Pacific and oth- CT Hartman stocks was really due, first, to the company having success fully arranged for the financing of its notes due this year, and which were given in payment for sundry railroad stocks, and, second, to the successful manipulation of the stock secured dur ing the big break by the pool that Is operating in it, Incidentally the pool 1t is said, took on little Of the pre- ferred stock, which they knew would be very sure thing in a very little while"

One favoring influence this week has been the gradual rise in interior ex- change. At the close of last week 30 cents discount was quoted at Chicago; yesterday, for the first time in fort night, exchange there was at par. This was probably an indication of let-up in the drain on New York balances by the interior.

Southern Pacific sold at the best fig ure since the panic, and is only 10 points under it's high record price of last September. In the meantime it has paid 5 per cent. in dividends.
