The utilities bill bos been adopted by the Ilcpuhl<?nn8 and likely to go through with out amendments. Brarish activity will probably lie cen tral earnings lu April was responsible for the late strength. New York Financial Bureau: The news on tbe utility bill this morning may cause some selling of tbe traction stocks. Union Pacific Is finding support around 164. Amal gamated la in demand toward 93. Good buying appeara In Smelting Just around 131. Atrblnoou held between 94 and 96. Great Northern preferred la su] 136, and this stock should covery. 8t Paul aupportea toward 134. New York Central continues to be sold on firm spots /or small profits by professionals. Northern Pacific should be bought whenever soft. Pennsylvania seems to meet better buying on soft spots now. It is In aym patby with New York Central and Reading, supported now around 111. Southern Pa cific well bought toward 84. If support la withdrawn professionals will sell aggres sively juat below limits named. Town Topics: Sentiment of the trade Is •till bearish, and they will be Inclined to resist further efforta to advance tbe market In view of tomorrow’a crop report, and the poor bank statement outlook. We would, however, take advantage of weak apota to day to buy the lietter class of stock gen erally. as the abort Interest la extensive and the amonut of liquidation hanging over th'e market Is small euough to be Ignored. April railroad earnings Indicate record- breaking business, ana operations generally are being carried on under much more fa- forable conditions, so far os weather and rate# are concerned* so that monthly state ments coming out should be a continuing cause of bullish confidence. On all reces sions we advise buying Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville and Nashville, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Houthern Pacific, Great Northern preferred and Smeltera. Walt for a reaction before buying cotton. Buy wheat on wott spots. The New York Commercial: Attempts to feature some of tbe smaller railroad* have not met with much success of late. Both the Chesapeuko and Ohio and tho Norfolk and Western were taken up. but It waa not possible to create Interest in them. Union Pacific occupies the center of the stage now, and nothing can displace It. It prac tically has been the market for several talk on No York Central, those jn charge of tbo operations In It do not seem able to put It up. lu fact, whenever It ap pears firm some one comes along with a block of It for rale, and this tends to up set previous arrangements. As the diges tive capacity of tbe market la not large at tbe present time anything In the nature of good selling has a bad effect. Wall street would .like to know what form of financing the capital requirements of the Union Pacific will take, and how much money will be needed. Thla Informa tion would relieve many anxious mluda. It Is a question Whether the stock of thla company la being put up for tho purpose Of assisting In the flotation of an Issue of bonds. That tbe Union Pacific really la In need of cash, probably from $50,000,000 to $75,000,000, generally la recognized, and tho advance In the price of the stock baa served to restore confidence In the earning power of the property. Paris still la greedy for gold, and takes •11 of the metal from London It can lay Its hands on. It la the Impression In the financial district that, sooner or later, it will be getting gold from here, It being the Idea of the managers of the Bank or France to strengthen Its reserves as much as possible. The demand for ateel for export pur poses continues unabated, reaching a new high record, and the Iron and steel mills have orders ahead for the remainder of this year.
