NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS Prices of Securities Undergo a Com prehensive Uplift. ALL OFFERING 3 ARE ASSORBES Closlagr Prices Aro the Highest, wtta Some Heavy Baylag; la Prog- roso Boao Market la Flrsa. NEW YORK. April 23. Prices of stocks underwent a comprehensive uplift today. The movement showed a certain soberness and restraint which was not without lm presslvaness, viewed in connection with the steadiness and persistence ot the advance. The trading was not animated and the rise Of prices was not of tha buoyant kind seen In periods of speculative excitement. Stocks were absorbed, however, with determina tion and the bidding up of prices went ag gressively on through such obstacles as arose. The Pennsylvsnla bond Issue was tha main topic of consideration and the re strained chsracter of the price movement was probably due to some reservations In the favorable Interpretation placed on that transaction. Some of the qualifying con siderations had to do with the price which the railroad company Is obliged to accept for its bonds and the reversion to a high type of prior lien obligation which has been found necessary to secure even that price. It developed today that the price of 96 mentioned .yesterday Is that at which the bonds are offered for subscription, and the deduction to be made for bankers' compensation are understood to bring the Erlce realised by the railroad company to elow 96. The premium over the allotment price Immediately eatabllshed In the out side market where the bonds, when Issued, sold as high as 99Vt. was a reflection of the confidence Inspired by the powerful auspices under which the Issue Is made. The selection of a first mortgage bond to affect the Pennsylvania financing is sig nificant of tha necessities which are rec ognised tn the present Investment condi tions. Early In 1907 Pennsylvania stock holders authorised 2100.0fV each of com mon stock and convert Ible bonds, and large portions of this authorisation remain unissued. Issues of Pennsylvania stock at varying premiums above the par value and of convertible bonds with a privilege of conversion at prices substantially above' par tor tne stock have been successfully resjrted to for all the Pennsylvania financ ing of lata years up to the stress of the last year's period, when temporary note Is sues made their appearance. The present situation calls for a first mortgage bond with fixed interest ahead of all stock and junior bond Issues, in order to attract the requisite means. The stock most affected by the Pennsyl vanlan Incident waa Union Pacific. The obvious explanation Is that the Union Pa cifies banking affiliations are the same as those which have enlisted the powerful foreign aid which has assured the success of the Pennsylvania bond transaction. As authority has been asked already of Union Pacific stockholders to Issue bonds nn un mortgaged lines now owned, the bearing of these facts on the position of the com pany is clear. Union Pacific rose briskly to a new high level for the year and led the whole market In point of activity. United States Steel was conspicuously lag gard In the day's rise, the uncheerful view of the trade situation taken by the leading organs of the trade being held accountable. Speculative sentiment apparently was lit tle disposed to take account of this factor. The reduction In the Norfolk & Western dividend also was ignored. Prlcea. ended at the highest of the day and with some heavy buying In progress. The bond market was diversified and firm In tone. Total sales, par value, 84,2t2. 000. T'nited States bonds were unchanged on rail. Following were the -sales and range of prices on the Stock exchange today: BslM. His. Low. Close. Adams Express 17 ' 14.400 t S7U rit .

The feeling on the market was fairly good and the trade on all kinds sufficiently ac tive to effect an early clearance. Buyers of beef steers were Out tn the yards In good season and the offerings of the desirable killers changed hands quite readily, the trade generally being summed up as a good, steady, active market, with some strength showing here and there. Thus strictly good heavy cattle sold up to 86.76, which was 10c higher than anything brought yesterday, and the highest price paid on this market In two weeks' time. Cows and heifers commanded steady prices and the good kinds were free sellers. Common to medium kinds were a little slow and unsatisfactory, the same aa they have been on must days ot late. Still must everything In the way of cow stuff changed hands In very fair season In the morning. There were not enough stockers and feeders here to talk about, the market be ing very poorly supplied, ths same as was the case yesterday. What few there were, generally Bold at fully steady prlcea.

In SHEEP The sheep market today was very slow and weak throughout, there being no snap or go to the market. Buyers were very Indifferent, their orders being appar ently light and far from urgent. At the same time feeder buyers who have been taking tha half fat and unfinished stuff seemed to have lost some of their nervt and they, too, were hanging hack, lience It was that while receipts were not very large It was very slow work disposing of them. Buyers went through the yards picking up hers and there a few of the beet lambs at prices not very much different from yesterday, but on anything else the feeling was not only very slow and weak, but holders found It very hard work to unload. Lambs that on a good market would look pretty fair to buyer were hard to get bide on on the ground that they were net ftood enough. Feeder lambs were alow and ower. What has been said regarding the light demand for lambs would spply equally well to sheep, which were slow In addition to being generally HVal&c lower In most cases. Oood wooled swes sold up to $6.60, as sgalnst $6.66 for the same stuff vesterday. Very good shorn ewes brought $6.86, Wjith shorn yearlings selling up to 85.78. The reuse for tha weakness and dullness prevailing In the market Is to be found In the poor demand for the muttons at east ern consuming points, wnicn is causing a gradual downward movement In values on sheep at all market point.
