MARKET SHOWS
ADDED STRENGTH
Industrial Speciialties Establish
Substantial Gains Early
in the Day.
RAILS KEEP NEAR THE TOP
Miscellaneous Short Account of Trad
ing Nature Contributes Materially
to Improvement in General List.

New York, April Z7.-In a session Of
rather evenly distributed activity the
stock market today gave the most i'm
pressiye exhibition of resilient frmness
which it has displayed in many weeks.
II was not subjected to very pronounced
selling pressure, but the general upswing
OF prices was accomplished not only
against the adverse influences of various
unfavorable developments, actual or con-
jectural, both at home and abroad, but
against a professional speculative atti-
tude of a rather bearish and skeptical
character. The professional element had
begun to formulate the opinion that the
limits OF recovery were clearly reached
earlier I'm the week, and the further ad-
vance was rather an unexpected token OF
market conditions. The subsequent course
Of prices will be watched accordingly
with all the more interest.
The market was by far the broadest
that has been seen on the constructive
side for some time past. Industrial spe-
cialties established substantial rises early
IN the day. but although they maintained
their gain with a good deal Of steadl-
ness. they seemed to be more subject to
liberal offering than the other depart
ments Of the list The rise in the rails
and standard industrials was the out
standing feature. Reading, Union Pacific,
St Paul and New York Central. Ana
conda and United States Steel provided
a leadership to which quoted values gen
orally are usually responsive. They held
strong and the close in various directions
was made around the best figures Of the
day.
Contributing factors in the improve
ment of the list were undoubtedly fur
nished by the existence Of miscellane-
Gus short account of a trading nature
which .xems to have expanded to a sub
stantiai aggregate. As a market lever
age. this supplemented the obvious ef-
fectiyeness of recent liquidation In
strengthening the structural or technical
position of stocks. Otherwise the deal
ings OF the day could be interpreted as
in part a process Of discounting the pros
pect for another agreement between
Washington and Berlin, which would
avert the breach Of relations that threat
ened so ominously last week. Advices
from both capitals seemed to warrant
such A marketwise reflection.

which had censured .but did not eNpel
the members whom its own investi-
cation had shown 20 be guilty of cor
rupt connection with the Credit Mo-
bilier.
Other Impressions. well or i'll found
ed, supervened which confirmed the
country in its distrust of the men who
were in control of affairs.
In September, 1873, financial panic
once more came upon the country with
rush, amidst abundant trade, amidst
every sign of prosperity, when wages
were good. employment readily found,
factories busy. prices normal, money
easy. Railways had been built too fast
in the West
Within FIVE years no less than
$l.700, ,0oO, 900 had been spent in rail-
way construction.
A Northern Pacific Railway was in
course of construction, to be pushed
forward through a new section Of the
country; and not a new Pacific rail-
way only but shorter lines also by the
score in regions where as yet there
were no people. in order that parts Of
the country otherwise inaccessible
might be opened up to quick settle
ment and profitable use.
OuCu COulu not reasonably
look to make a profit for twenty years
to come. They were built with bor-
rowed money. Their bonds filled every
market, at home and abroad. Some
new roads there were which were only
extensions OF older lines of established
earning capacity; but the older por-
tions could not earn enough TO pay
for the new.
Certain as the prospects Of profit
were, when the country should grow
and settlers come to dot the lines OF
rail with towns, flank them with
farms, and put factories at every point
OF vantage, their construction was for
the present purely speculative. and the
processes of growth upon which they
depended to keep them from bank
ruptcy could not be sufficiently hurried
to save their credit

Reports to BE Made Public.

An innovation which is expected to
prove popular with national banks has
been announced by the Comptroller of
the Currency After June / copies of the
reports of bank examiners on the condi-
tion of banks will be submitted to the
respective institutions. In the past these
reports were considered absolutely con-
fidential, and bankers learned of critI-
cisms by examiners only when instructed
to make changes with view to obviating
such criticisms. Banks are examined
twice year. 1t is believed that If given
access to the reports of examiners, pri-
vate examinations by expensive expert
accountants will not be considered
necessary by most institutions

Market stimulated.

The professional viewpoint on the action
of the New York list yesterday is shown
in dispatch from Logan & Bryan, New
York brokers, as follows:
THE market was stimulated and senti-
ment was improved by advices credited
with emanating from Berlin to the effect
that the German note would be in Wash
ington by next Monday and that Teu-
tonic opinion was inclined toward the
view that the crisis had been passed.
Reports to the effect that a working
arrangement has been arrived at with
respect to future operations in Mexico
as between Washington and the Car
rama element, was also assuring. These
considerations seemed to overshadow
rather dfsconcertinR reports as to the
labor situation. Interests which have
been conspicuous for their bearish incli-
nations were prominently identified
among the buyers.
THE action yesterday in connection
with the Norfolk and Western dividend,
coupled with the excellent earnings of
prominent carriers, has injected new life
into the railroad department. in view of
the impression that further dividend in
creases more especially in the instance
OF the New York Central, and resump-
tion of payments in other directions are
quite probable. The improved tone of
the political news will doubtless result
i'm further appreciation in the stock list.
though the adjustment of things may
not result for some days, therefore only
the more substantial class of securities,
such as the standard rails, should be
favored when conducting dealings on the
long side"
