THE STOCK MARKET

New York, May 25--Measures were taken in the stock market today to ar rest the violent decline into which the price movement had run on Saturday. After these had been made efective, the proceedings became dull and unin- teresting and almost barren of event The attractive profits on the bear side which had accrued as a result of the week -end breakN and its extension this morning. proved an incentive to short covering and considerable demand for that account contributed to check the fall and support prices. The first hours business was active under the mixed influence of additional liquidation pre- cipitated by the previous declne, heavy supporting orders and the large demand from the short interest. After the hrst convulsive rebound from the open Ing weakness dealings showed mark sd shrinkage In volume. Disposition When prices wavered from time to time and selling orders seemed to be growing, support was again as brought to standstill The days news had little direct bearing on the market action, but tendency of views of the markets action e0'Vr was H perceptibie Thus the apparently stationary condi- tion of railroad traffic was not viewed so hopefully as a probable prelude to Improvement. as was done last week while prices of stocks were rising. but was received with evidence ot renew ed Encouragement. This was discern able in the rone of the weekly state ment from traffic officials.
 London was free seller of stocks here in the first half of the day and this was pointed to as a reflection of the unfavorable view taken by for eign investors in American securities of the new activity of the government against railway corporations, signal zed in the New Haven suit. Less was heard of that subject in the local dis cussion, especially after prices of stocks had steadied.
 The special strength shown by Della ware and Hudson was founded on re port that that company was to take over the New Ravens holdings of Bos- ton and Maine stock which are object. ed to in the government suit Reports of flood damage in the Southwestern States caused some misgivings and the grain markets were not free from signs of anxiety on the same score The outward movement of gold contin- ued, although with some symptoms of the demand approaching satisfaction. The imperial rank of Ger many's strongly weekly report seem to herald a reduction in It's dis ported somewhat firmer. although not quotably higher. Lenders were said to be holding off for better rates Prices made a fresh advance in the final hour in the confidence engendered by the success in protecting the mar ket against depression and the clos ing was strong.

 There was this peculiarity about the prices; part of the advance was a hold-over nom Saturday. and h may be remarked incidentally that a good many felt that way about it. The advance in contract quotations yesterday was just little more than 34 points but on the advance of fu- lures Saturday the nominal quotations had not been made high enough so little more was added on.
