STOCK MARKET
SHOWING GAINS
ANIMATION, HOWEVER, is NOT
LONG LIVED
Canadian Pacific Comparatively Firm
All Day Following Recent De-
clines-NationaI Lead Is
Marked Up
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May 15.--There was a
short lived period of animation in the
stock market today. This followed the
appearance of published abstract pur-
porting to give the substance of the
forthcoming report of the interstate
commerce commission on the results of
the inquiry into the Hartman railroad
combinations.
The character of this alleged docu-
ment was severe in it's structures upon
conditions revealed by the invitation
and some drastic recommendations
were included looking to the correction
the report and the nature of the alleged
recommendation contained nothing
that has not been the subject of stock
market discussion and of professed
apprehension ever since the sensation
created by the testimony before the
commission, the feeling reaching its
most acute stage in the height or the
March panic in stocks.
Stock market gossip since that time
has arrived at a comprehensive solution
of the problems to be presented by the
measures for the dissolution of rela-
tionships in the Hartman combination
which was the result in the distribu-
tion of valuation rights to stockholders
to share in the assets thus prohibited
to the corporations. This alleged set
tlement resulted in a vigorous rally in
Union Pacific in the March panic.
Nevertheless professionals seized
with avidity on the revival of the orig
inal factors contained in today's publ
cation and forced a rapid decline in
prices, led by Union Pacific itself. The
late recovery in the market was due
partly to covering of shorts and was
significant of tho highly professional
character of the selling on the decline.
The same influence kept Canadian
Pacific comparatively firm all day after
the sharp decline of recent days. Ma
tional Lead was marked up briskly to
the accompaniment of rumors of an in
tended increase in the dividend rate.
Some of the other metal and mining
stocks also showed strength on account
of trade conditions. There was no i'm
portant change in money conditions.
