 MARKET RELUCTANT.

NEW YORK, May 2J.--The stock market today did not reflect much in clination to resume active speculation on the part of oprators of great i'm portanee. The anxiety felt yesterday on account of the nature of some esti- mates of crop conditions in Kansas and Nebraska were somewhat relieved to- day as n result of more cheerful views of the situation.
 An advance in prices of refined cop per at the metal exchange was an- nouneed and there were reports that the selling price had been lifted by the selling agency of the principal pro ducers. Their reports gave figures of sales thus far this month that pointed to a volume of deliveries for May con siderable in excess of any other month since the present revival set in, and well in excess of the prevailing rate of production.
 In the final dealings there was gen eral setback, business let up and at the close was on the down grade.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales $3,4l6,000. United States bonds un- changed.
