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. THE LOkOON STOCK MARKET.
