BIO INCREASE IN NEW ISSUES J Some ft h area Ara Forced ITnward, While Repeat Leaders Are Lower on ReeJIslaa; Sales Bonds Are Active. NEW YORK, May H.-Speculatlve sen timent today waa still dominated by the brightened outlook for coiporatlon financ ing, whloh has been tho ruling Influence all through tra present rise In stocks. Tha piling up of the bank reserves and tho declining tatea for money promise abundant resources for further flotation of new capital Issues, and executive officers of tho i II road companies feel correspond ingly relieved of tho anxieties which en veloped them during the paralysis of rsll road credit How far this Influence has already mada Itself felt Is Indicated by the estimate of the Journal of Commerce ot the total capital Issues In April, the figure rising to 8Z,T26,364, as against 8207, 447,000 In April of last year. This Includes the Pennsylvania bond sale, which proved so powerful a stimulating factor on the demand for hew Issues. The April total Is larger than for any previous month this vear and leaves the four months since January 1 at only S61.688.746 less than In the corresponding four months of active financing last year. The stimulating ef fect of the Pennsylvania bond Issue Is expected to be seen In further sddltlona to the list during May sufficient to bring the figure fully abreast of last years figure and the opinion Is advanced, In view of this showing, that total now cap ital authorized during lBOS will not fall short of the $2.102.552. 0o0 authorised In lSsr7. The Union Paclfio issue Is still pending, and discussion of Its expected terms and amount continued very active today. That a considerable portion of tho loan will be placed abroad is taken for granted, but Franoe and Germany were assumed aa more likely destinations for the foreign allotments than London, as In the Penn sylvania loan. Perusal of the Saturday bank statement waa Impressive In Its disclosures of the measure ot the resources available for new borrowings. The 31.270,324.900 of de posits held by the clearing house banks on Saturday form an absolute record and the SH3.SK), 475 surplus above the legal re quirement of the cash reserve has never been exceeded except In the after panic porlod of 1K&4, when forces of tho same nature were at work to cause the accu mulation as are In operation now. Confi dence In the money outlook founded on this showing' was little altered by tho pros pect of a resumption of gold exports and the large withdrawals of the subtreasury on account of the return of government deposits by the banks. Discount rates In London and Paris declined and the Bank of England marked down tho price of gold In spite of large purchases for Paris account in London. Outside of the money outlook there was nothing In the day's developments to prompt hopes of enhancing values. Tho committee on car efficiency of the American Railway association made an other fortnightly report on the number of Idle freight cars In the country, whloh showed for April 2t an addition to the record figure of April 15, of 37.314 of freight cars held Idle In this country, bringing It to the formidable total of 418,338, representing an enormous valuation of Investment on which no earnings are accruing. Railroad officials reported that no Improvement was perceptible In the traffic ahowlng. Weather conditions In some localities last week affected to some extent the feeling of confidence of wheat crop pronpect. The stock market showed new stocks being pushed upwards, which have not been prominent In the rise before. There waa heavy realising at the same time In the recent leaders of the advance. The constant Irregularity of tone was ths consequence. Tha special strength of Chesapeake A Ohio and Norfolk & Western was In connection with reports that the New Haven was taking over tho holdings of the former sold by the Pennsylvania with a view to safeguarding its soft coal supply In the same way that the Ontario & Western holding was directed to the an thracite supply. Bonds were active and strong. Total sales, par value, 88.364.0u0. United States bonds were unchanged on call. Following were the sales and range of prices on the Stock exchange today: ales. High.

Packers were all out In the yards In good season In the morning, and the mar ket on beef steers waa In fairly satisfac tory condition throughout. The prices paid, especially for the handy light cattle of frood quality, were strong as compared with ast week. Now and then It waa possible f"-"- uui saies mat looKea quite a little higher. The trade on the desirable cattle at least was quite active and the most of tha offerings changed hands In good sea son. In addition to the com fed cattle, there was quite a little snrinkltns? of west. ems. A bunch of Montana hayfeda sold up to 36.10. with Utah nulnferl atrwlr at t-. 7.. Good cows and heifers were aetlve sellers this morning at prices still a little stronger than were paid last week. The offerings i cvcryming ainng mat line changed hands In very good season. Among the receipts were quite a good many pretty common and Inferior cows, but as the better grades were in moderate aunnlv. and were soon disposed of, buyers turned their attention to the commoner grades, which alSO Sold tO falrlv Brood advantnire Among the day's receipts were quite a, good many light stockers, but the demand was not very Drlek. there he Ine- fu country buyers In sight, while speculators still had some cattle on hand that they carried over from last week. The result wss rnat tne market waa a little slow and generally a little lower even than last week's weak close.
