Final Prices Highest of the Day.

New York. May 1O.--Whne a number
Of reasons. many OF them OF fanciful and
absurd character. such as. for instance.
the passage OF the railroad rate bill by
the House Of Representatives this after
noon, were ascribed in Wall street to-
day as the cause Of the continual
strength exhibited IN the stock market.
there is very little reasonable doubt that
the chief influence exerted in this direc-
ton was by the obvious accumulation
that went on in certain stocks Of invest
ment grade in which sustained upward
or downward movements are usually
supposed, and with good reason, TO rep
resent the attitude toward the market OF
financial interests Of the first rank.
Wall streets attention has been at
tracted In the last few days by the ad-
vance in Southern Pacific stock. which
to-day sold more than 10 points higher
than it did a short time since; and what
ever may have been the precise cause
OF the movement, II IS entirely improb-
table that IL would have taken place with
out the consent Of the large stockhold-
ing interests in the Southern Pacific prop
erty.

Rise In Western Issues.
To-day tbara ,,-og n ch,-r, H. a. .

To-day there was a sharp rise in the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
preferred shares. stocks that have been
heavily depressed throughout the Year A
not unfair supposition IS, Of course, that
liquidation IN these particular issues has
been unusually thorough. and also that
the financial powers impressed with the
favorable agricultural prospects Of the
year are beginning TO replace holdings
that we're earlier disposed Of at higher
prices.
More important than any OF these move
ments, however was the large advance
to-day In the quotation for the Consoll-
dated Gas shares. II is very well known
In Wall street, in whose hands the chief
ownership OF the Consolidated Gas Com
pany rests, and the course OF the COM
pany's stock has time and again borne
witness TO the judgment Of the richest
capitalists in the country regarding gen
eral business and financial conditions.
Sees Buying Movement.
Wall street was not slow at any rate
10 interpret the upward movement in all
these stocks as an indication OF a stronger
buying in the market than any that has
lately been seen. and general sympa-
Ihetic advance in the price Of securities
was plainly induced thereby The rise
did not attain notable dimensions until
the latter part OF the day.
Earlier prices were inclined to sag I'M
der the weight of the realizing sales OF
traders and small operators after yester-
days advance. and indeed for a couple
Of hours around midday the market
seemed 10 pass into a state OF utter
inertia
Favorable differences were drawn, how
ever. from the fact that after decline
from yesterdays close of point or more
in the prominent stocks realization
ceased. Then. later on, when the stocks
in which reference has been made began
10 move upward, the market as a whole
followed rapidly in their train. Final
prices were at the highest and at con-
siderable advance in nearly every in
stance.
