IMPROVEMENT AT OUTSET NEW YORK, May lJ.-8toek rallied more or less spiritedly todav from their weakneas of tha preceding session, when quoted values crumbled mainly from ap piehenslon eiigendereil by Increasing ten sion in International affairs. Improve ment was manliest at the outset and further progress was made during the first hour, tha rang of gains extending from 2 to 4 points. War specialties were most variable, re covering a material part of yesterday's losses, but yielding to .pressure again to ward the end of today's short sesslcn.

Dun's will say: The developments of the week afford new proof of the essential, stability and power of our financial and business structure. While there la uncertainty aa to the final 1 outcome, there la faith In tha ability of the nation to adapt Itself with financial readiness to every contingency that may arise. Outside of the stork, cotton, and other tKiually sensitive markets, effects of the new war development have not materially changed the generally favor able espect of the trade situation. With scarcely an exception statistical comparisons, by which business activity Is measured, reflect progressive Improve ment and that the steeply gain In bank clearings it not wholly due to the ex ps union In speculation operations Is In dicated by the continued Increases at many of the leading canter outside of New Tork. Railroad earnings make a better exhibit and the larger traffic move ment has resulted In a notable falling off In the number of idle cars. Failures and unemployment have been diseased. The Iron and steel trade holds Its own and continue on the same encouraging basts of output aa before. There Is con tinued activity in the cotton goods trade.
