NEW YORK STOCKS
Days Operations Fitting Sc
que to Persistent Dizziness
OF the Market for Several!
Days; Bonds Steady
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, May 25.-Except for a
further rise in some of the less prom
inent s~pecialties, today's stock market
was a fitting sequel to the almost I'M
interrupted dizziness Of the preceding
sessions OF the week. The local ex-
change was without its usual guide,
the London and other foreign mar
kets being closed for the Whitsuntide
holidays. Advices from abroad were
rather d~iscouraging, with the grain
markets at Liverpool at a standstill
and the food supply of the British
metropolis and provinces menaced by
the strike OF the transport laborers.
Berlin bankers were again in COM
m~unication with their correspondents
here relative to an extension Of ex-
listing credits. The result of these ne
EQUATIONS may show in next weeks
money market.
Home news was Of a negative or
~unimpOrtant character. Indubitable
evidence Of the expansion Of bust
ness is found in the statistics of the
bank cIearinSS and railroad earnings,
and in diminished commercial fail
ures and the smaller liabilities &C
cruing therefrom.
Prices hardened all around in the
last hour, but trading was even less
active han before. There was the
usual settling Of contracts over the
weekend n perhaps some further
caution, due to uncertainty connected
with next weeks political develop
ments.
Accompanied by a highly encour-
aging statement as to crop prospects
from it's chief executive the Atchison
roa presented a most excellent re
port of earnings for April. The South
ern Railway increased it's total net
for the same month by over $4,000
Actual bank loans Increased by al
most $500, 600, with a cash gain lit
tie short Of $4,000, 900, the outcome
adding to the reserves by $5,553,65O
The average figures aside from c
much smaller Oan expansion, differed
very little from the actual statement

In the Isle Of Man many curious and

The presidential party started out

from politics and dwelt largely upon
the health giving qualities of the

Why rage and puzzle about the high
