New York Stock Market New York. May 17.?The advance In stocks, which completely changed the character of the securities market yesterday, was continued to-daj The volume of business was almost us large as yesterday, and gains were as general, although smaller. Trading pr? eceded on the same confident basis, with a strong- demand, which came In no small degree from outside sources. Urgent short covering also was a source of strength to the market. The feeling was uune general among the professional speculative Interests, early In tht day that yesterday's advance had been so rapid that a reaction might be expected] These traders Hold heavily at the opening, but Iho manner in which their offerings were absorbed pioved that they had underestimated! tht- strength of the market. Price* ad? vanced anew after hulling for a lim?, and bear traders were compelled to, cover at losses. While the for, os of speculation weit responsible 11 large part for to-day s j advance, the underlying cause ap? parently was confidence in t lie out? look, du? primarily to the manner in which the market received the Stand? ard Oil decision. Predictions of leading'] men c-t industry and finance that a | trade revival rtiight be expected to fol- j low the rendition of the decision iiolped to Improve sentiment. The ease of money facilitated expansion of purely ' speculative] operations, and. with the present disposition to view only the encouraging ieatures, the excellent crop prospects und the uppareut ap? proach o: peace in Mexico were cited ' as fur til br lactors which jiuAity op? timism It "us pointed out. however. I that the Standard Oil decision removes i only one of the unfavorable features I of the situation; that the result of the j 'attempts of tariff legislation is still ! to be determined, and that it cannot be known for some time whether the predictions of better trade conditions ' are to be borne out. United States Steel was again the ' most active slock in the list, and ; touched 5-0 1-3, its highest price since, early in the yeav. .Standard Oil show'od further strength on the ' curb'' to- , day, the prospective dissolution of the I corporation opening up the possibility \ of allotment of assets to shareholders greater than the present value of tho ; stock American Tobacco was conspicuously strong.

The report of a pending reduction In the price of steel bars was denied | to-day in responsible quarters Some Improvement in the steel and iron trade was noted In the weekly reviews, the most promising future being a better Inquiry by the railroads.
