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:

CATTLE1 Recel pts of cattle this morning
numbered only I16 cars and receipts at
other market points were equally small.
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.

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.
