Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, May 2.--The market today has again run into a heavy volume Of trading. No sooner does hesitation occur and indications point to less activity than the speculative sentiment now so prevail ent, again takes hold of the market and heavy trading and rising prices resume their way. This has been notably so to- day. Rubber has been the feature, this stock making another substantial ad- vance: The company for two years past been making very large earnings Un- doubtedly the potent reason for the re- newal of activity and strength has been the evidence from Paris that the peace treaty was going through and that the difficulty with Italy was not going to hold matters up. This is, of course, the main feature in the strength of the market. The fact, however, that many important lines of business in this country are at a practical standstil makes us feel that the advance in the market is likely to cul- minate with the signing of the peace treaty, at least for the next few months
 The favorable weather detnis have beer, a factor in the market today and pro- noted selling for both accounts under which prices have been easier, though no real weakness has been apparent and it has always looked as if any active demand would rally the market without difficulty, the demand, however was nor so much in evidence after the close Of Liverpool and such bulges as took place were checked by realizing and short sell ing for turn by scalping traders.
 Neutral countries are credited with al- ready holding a pretty large amount out of the visible supply waiting an oppor. tunity to ship. POST & FLAGG.

Over S. R. Stewards Wire

developments over night were nearly all favorable to further. strength in the mar ket. Liverpool was better than due and ca bles say Manchester is so active that operatives contemplate call for in- creased wages. A good spot business was done here yesterday after hours. Any steamer that is put on for Liverpool is being filled up quickly and dispatch is rapid. Relative scarcity of room alone seems to stand in the way of a larger spot business, but Liverpool is after cot ton, particularly hard benders. Washing ton says "Advices to the State Depart plent make officials feel that the Italian situation shows decided improvement and news from Paris indicates confi- dent and hopeful outlook for the sign ing of the treaty of peace.
 Developments yesterday, the great dem onstration day for social factions, give encouraging evidence of control by the orderly element. The impressive action of the stock and grain markets in rally ing so fast from the effects of specific causes for reaction shows underlying conditions and current of strength.
 Reports from western Texas show great satisfaction over the conditions and in- dications are for the best crops in many years.
 The bullish main current on the strength of the bullish change in spots and op- timistic tendency generally invariably asserted itself and reactions were limited and of short duration.
 Spots were marked up 25 points; mid- dlings, 2Sc; sales. 5,993 bales.
 Exports for the week are 1l5,OOo against g, 900 last year, and for the season 3999.- 0o0 against S,49s GOO last year. Reports of a bear pool in aggressive operation were current on the New York exchange. at one time.
 Interior spot markets are mixed, 25c off to 25c up, with a fair business done. Futures are at too much discount under spots.-John F. Clark & Co.
