Market Still Restricted, 1 bnt Cas tomary 4teTerse Doe Not Come. NEW YORK. April 29. The stock mar- wju. ;Yl r. Ji fesslonal channel today, but It got through the day without the recent customary re versal of the course of prices. For several day with the diminishing volume of bus! nesa the tendency of the market haa been to retrace in the afternoon the course taken In the morning. Today the course was upwards throughout and professional traders seemed to feel no solicitude about leaving their contract open over night. The market closed at practically tne nign est level and with a notably firm tendency. The Improved tone was largely due to the sympathetic effect on the general list of . very persistent absorption or tne fc,ne tocks. which left the common IVt. the first preferred 2T and the second preferred 3H higher than last night. The report or earnings or Lnign vauey for March showed a surplus after fixed charge of $624,500, compared with a deficit for March of last year or .rt4,li6. supple menting the favorable showing reported by the Erie for March, the Lehigh report had stimulating effect "upon the coaler gen erally. The buying or tne Erie, nowever. was of a special character and gave rise to various rumor, one point of which pointed o an early Increase In dividend distribu tions. The general market was Inclined to hang back and moved In a rather Irregular manner until the persistent strength of the Erie decided tne general upward move ment. Some of the New York public utili ties were Inclined to react after yester- ay a short covering movement on thj de clared validity of the franchise tax. Amalgamated Copper rose early in re sponse to a sharp rebound In the price of I,ondon copper, but lost most of the gain when the I-ondon copper market ran off. The reaction In the sliver market had some early effect on Mexican railroad tocks. but they ranted in company wltn the rest of the market.
