FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
DAY OF APATHY.
Few Important Price Changes Until
 Close of the Session.

New York. May 10.-The day on the stock exchange was marked by unusual apathy for the greater part of the ses- sion and few important price changes until the very close. The movement was perfunctOry and professional throughout. the inertia resulting chief ly from the fact that neither bulls nor bears displayed any great amount Of initiative, except in certain issues which lack Q public following. Tobac co stocks were quite active, with a rise of 5 1-2 points in American Tobacco and concurrent strength in kindred se- curities on the exchange and )in the apen market. American Cans achieved a new distinction by selling higher than before, the preferred going to 121 and the common to AZ Is.
 Sales at noon were a little over 200,000 shares, of which four issues United States Steel, Reading, Amal gamated Copper and Union Pacific contributed over 50 per cent. The stagnation of the afternoon was re- lieved by occasional spells of moderate activity, which, however, made little impression on quoted values, except in the case of Leaigh Valley and some of the more dormant specialties, including American Beet Sugar, Ailis Chalmers
 
 Bethlehem preferred, Later prices of other and more active stocks hardened, but the limit of dullness for the ses- sion was then attained. The closing was dull but strong, with many net gains of 8 point or two in the active group and as much as three points in some of the speculative specialties.
 Developments of the day included the report of the United States Steel cor poration for April, it's unified tonnage for that month being 3G0,0OO tons greater than in March. thereby exceed ing general expectations reports of another increase in prices by one of the more important of the steel cor poration's adiuncts, and forecasts of the weekly cash movement pointing to large gain by local institutions. There were advices from Philadelphia which intmated a willingness on the part of the anthracite miners to accept the terms of the operators, which probably accounted for the greater strength of Reading ard Lehigh Valley in the late trading. Wall street was plainly disposed to ignore all political occurrances and the possible abolition of the commerce court, which created some dlsmay when first preached a few weeks ago, excited no attention today.
 Our securities wefe strong in Lon don, closing there at top prices, but trading was light.
 The bond market was more steady, but with no appreclable increase of investment interest. Total sales, par value, $s,154,0o0.
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call,
