Today's stock market showed a subsidence of the ap prehension caused yesterday by the vol ume of the gold shipments for today and tne week turned again to the bull side with greater animation and confidence than ever. The market sold off to some extent in the first hour in continuation of yester day's gold export fears and on reported opinions that the coming week would wit ness ; the shipment of an even larger amount of gold. The theorists in favor of a necessary reaction in the market were" busily at work on this basis and sought strenuously to bring about the reaction which, they confidently maintain, is long over due in the market and must come ultimately. The St. Paul statement for May, showing an increase in gross earn ings- of $101,719 and in net of $118,496, was the first influence to stem the downward course of prices. The low point of the morning was a slight fraction below last night s close in many stocks. The rally was characterized by great animation and by heavy .dealings, the prominent stocks changing hands in large blocks. Bur- Iington was the eader of the market in point of activity and was carried up 1 from the low point and held there until the close. The week has witnessed, a further nota ble raising of the level of prices, the ad vance being especially notable in the granger group and not being so well dis tributed through the list as in some pre vious weeks. The market as a whole has firmly resisted, almost to work a reaction, the severest strain coming Friday with the news that the week's gold shipments had run up to a figure exceeding any week since the first of the present move ment. The present high level of prices is generally recognized as discounting com mercial and . industrial improvements which are yet to be. realized. But the firmness with which the high prices are held is a measure of confidence of secur ity holders that future conditions will improve to warrant higher prices. The advance is spoken of as steady, which is true of the average price, but the whole market has not moved uniformly, f At times some one stock has taken the lead as has been the case in a marked degree with Northwestern this week on the pros nect of refunding its bonds so as to bene fit the stock. Sugar made a similar bound on the agreement of the republi cans upon the sugar schedule several weeks ago. These special movements have helped to raise the. level of other nrices. though in less aegree. xne gran gers and Vanderbilts, as groups, have at other times assumed the leadership.
