New York, May 18.—J. S. IUeho A
The atock market «raa exccsalvely
quiet and fluctuations were confined
within narrow limits. What trading
there was In evidence represented pro.
feaalonat dealing*. The lone, In spite
of the dullness, wns feverish and un
certain. At times the prices would ad.
ranee on the appearance of any buying
orders, but Immediately fell off when
the buying power had reached the lim
it. At flret prlcea sold off on further
liquidation In Union Pacific, although
the Harrlman Interstate commerce
commission rumors were found to have
been untrue. But later a break in
wheat on the openlnr of the Chicago
market brought about advances In the
etock market. The dullness waa ex-
treme and the dealings totaled up tho
smallest since the panic. Speculation
In stocks la certainly at a low ebb, be-
Ing diverted to rraln and cotton. A
decline later In the afternoon In stocks
waa due to a violent advance In wheat.
National Lead declared an Increased
dividend, advancing Its rate to 6 per
cent. The atock waa active, but real
ising occurred soon after the announce
ment was made.
