STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Further Substantial Rise in Prices
with Increased Volume.

New York, April PA further
substantial rise in prices occurred in
the stock market to-day and the vol
ume of business, at the Same time.
expanded materially. Most of this
was achieved in the first half of the
/ day, the sales 60 noon Kissing to near
halr q million shares, which Is well
above tho daily average Of total sales
for some time past. There was some
lull IN the later market both In activ-
ity ana in tho rate Of the advance. The
failure of an important stock cx-
change house, announced at the outset
of the trading, caused no interruption
to the advance and. in fact furthcrcd
1t, owing to the large outstanding
short contracts which remained to be
covered for account of the failed
house, which has been noted for its
espousa OF the bear side of tho mar
ket for many months past. An old
rule Of the stock exchange required
that transactions under the rule I'm
the closing Of contracts Of failed
firm should be so specified IN rcport-
ing on the tape, but that rule has
been rescinded such transactions
cannot be distinguished from other
contracts on the tape. The number OF
shares bought to-day for account OF
the failed firm were said to amount
to many thousands and the suspen-
sion was pronounced the most i'm
portant bear failure that has occurred
for many years. This was an immed-
late influence in prompting heavy COW
ering OF short contracts in other quar-
ters and the driving in of the bears be-
came n prominent factor in the days
advance of prices. Some of the heav-
lest covering was in L. S. Steel, but
that stock was ncld back during all
the early part Of the session and rose
fractonally over last night only late
in the day.
The rise in the IT, s. Steel stocks,
though small, was sufficient to cstab-
fish them at new high levels for tho
year. Union Pacific continued the
conspicuous leader in the advance and
also rose to a new high level a num-
Der of other prominent stocks APP
preached or exceeded the high prices
of March, which were the previous
high prices Of the year. Tho lull in
the late market came with the publ
cation of the forecasts Of the weeks
cash changes, which took into account
an outgo of gold amounting to $4,000
900. The showing proved a momen-
tary dampcr on the speculative en-
thusiasm, Prices subsequently adj
vanced again, however and closed
generally near tho highest

The principal influencing factors
which helped to put up stocks were
the same which have been in evidence
for several days past. Nothing new
occurred which had an important
bearing on stocks. The success of the
pennsylvania Railroad loan and asser-
tons that the subscription list would
probably be closed soon after it is
opened next Monday morning, togeth-
err with the increased demand for
bonds which has resulted, was perhaps
responsible for much Of yesterdays
buoyancy in the market. Bonds were
moro active than Thursday, with the
activity spread over more issues.
