FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
MARKET WAS ACTIVE
Volume of Operations Exceeded Any
 Session Since the First of the Year.

New York, May 16.-On a volume of operations without parallel since the
 ensational markets of the first year of the war, stocks today made many additions to their gains of the past fortnight.
 This advantage was substantially reduced in the final hour when an avalanche of selling orders more than offset the further buying power. U. S.. SteePs early gain of about two points was cancelled Baldwin. Locomotive reversed it's advance of almost five points to a net loss of one point, and other industrials as well as a few rails forfeited half or more of their variable gains.
 The sweeping character of the trad ing in the first half of the session left little doubt of a strong revival of public interest, which was further at tested by the greater activity of com mission houses.
 Sales of the first two hours approxi- mated one million shares. Thereafter | trading slackened occasionally, but the total of 1,775.000 tested the mechanism of the exchange to it's capacity. 1 All the speculative favorites attain ed top levels of the year before the 1 late reversal, and some Tnaximums ex- l tended far beyond that period. Rails did not respond in more than minor degree and were among the first tc 1 yield.
 l The spectacular features were fur nished by shares of munitions com ! panies and other war issues. U. S 1 Steel again absorbed the bulk of the offerings, but kindred industrials con l tributed proportionately, with coppers shippings, oils, motors, feathers and 1 tobaccos.
 Bonds in general, including equip ments, were firm to strong, the Lib- erty group showing irregularily. Tota sales (par value) aggregated $7,950,-
