Followinc such a rapid ud jvance as was experienced .cstcrday and that, too. on top u( n bullish ilenion ! titration of nearly two mouths duration, j nil the canons, of rule anil precedent I culled for a break. Instead the market j merely oscillated within measurable dis tance of the highest level established j and nt no time displajed the slightest .sign of weakness. There was quite ns heavy bujing ns on Monday, but the height to which prices liud climbed brought out a fuirly rood Minnl.v although it wns clear . enough from beginning to end that the I Initiative lay 'on the bujing side. I The time is near when peace will he ' sinned or not signed, and since the (Street believes it will be sigucd, the few dnyj remaining constitute a bullish in fluence not to be ignored altogether. I Tpo rise and fall of prices was fairly lhrmul. while net changes were modest. United States Steel had a spread of some -' points. The motors eujojed 4 moments of considerable strengtn. ns did the shipping shares. American Sumatra Tobacco, American Can, In- tcruntional Taper, the rubbers and cer Uain specialties were strong spots. The ! oil shares blew both warm and cold. I There was a distinctly mixed move Iment among the rails. Southern Pacific 1 led on the constructive side with Read I ing, Atchison, Great Northern and w York Central relatively expansive at intervals. It was obviously nn artificial performance, however, indicating not a little pool activity. llusiness was comparatively slow in the last hour. The traction stocks gave a gobd account of themselves throughout. Klsewhero prices ebbed and flowed with little further chuugc. Liberty bonds were stcudj. Interest was largely cen tered in the iuitiul trading in Victory loan notes, which opened at 00. DO- aud advanced to 00.00. Only the 49is were dealt in. Interborough Rapid Transit refunding Tit were strong. Siippb" und demand were more nearly balanced in the money market. Call loans, including reuewuls, ruled at 5 per cent for in Wed collateral. Time f 11 wis were unchanged nt 5 per cent. While the foreign exchange market was quiet there was n return to weak ness in most rates except sterling, which held steadj. Kmiicn dropped 11! cen times to li.fiO'. francs to the dollar for checks, and lire 13 points to 8.57 lire to the dollar. Pesetas ielded ,1 points and the Scandinavian capitals reflected heaviness.

ON PHILADELPHIA EXCHANGE . 1 . Cramps Is Only Issue Continuing Strong to End and It Scores Wide Advance Declines Follow Gains for Other Stocks ' ' The Philadelphia stock market started strong and with every indication of, a record turnover, but, although it became broad, the reaction on the New York board resulted in a contraction here and demand slackened to such an extent that substantial early gains, with one .exception, were only partially maintained-. The exception was in Cramps, which, rose 3 points early, and after losing 1 point, advanced to 130, up 4, Electric Storage Battery, General Asphalt common and preferred and Iake Superior Corporation all, attracted interest in the first hour by showing good strength nnd fair activity. But not one of them retained its top price at the end. Lake Superior had only recorded a trifling advance early that put it up to a new high level for the year and the reaction carried it down as much as below yesterday's close. Storage Battery rose more than 1 point before mid day and dropped about half Its gain, while both classes of General Asphalt, after rising more than 2 points, yielded moderately. Philadelphia Electric was dealt in rather sparingly, as compared with its recent showing, and held steady, while United Gas Improvement continued firm.. Rapid Transit certificates did little, but were' off a little and both Tonopah- Di'iiuoni. anu xonopan .tuning ativunceu iraciionauy. . The movement of the last two days in William Cramp certificates has causccf a renewal of rumors concerning the probable listing of tluTt issue on the New York exchange. A meeting is to be held tomorrow, but it is said that nothing definite will be done corfecrning this matter, and that routine business will oc cupy the director's attention. Rails were generally firm, with the exception of Pennsylvania, which re acted slightly. Steel common followed its course in New York and sold lower most of the day. Initial trading took place In the Victory Loan 474s, which came out In small volume nt 00.00, although in New York the first sule wns n block of $150,000 par value, at 00.00, an in that market the price rose to 00.00 after declining as low as 00.88. Liberty Loan issues were higher. A suggestion that the New York bond sales be printed on the Philadelphia stock ticker tape is meeting with much favor in brokers' offices, owing to the congestion resulting from the unusually large sales of stocks. With the big market's total Bales running from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 shares daily, it hs been impossible to print the "bonds and stocks on the same tape and have the closing quotations out within n reasonably early time after the trading ends. One of the governing committee of the Philadelphia exchange today said he con sidered the suggestion fnvornbly and would indorse its ndoptlon. 30 30 8S 8874 !'5 0574 71 71 ns ns- money-lending rates NEW YORK Money on call, mixed collateral, opened today at 5 per cent for lending nnd renewing.

A renewal o decided weakness in French and Italian exchanges, with sympathetic effect, took place today in the market for foreign exchange, declines extending to 15 points in lire. French exchnnge dropped to 0.50 for cables and 0.58 for checks, compared with 0.43 nnd 0.45 respect ively in tle late dealings on Monday. Quotations were: Francs cables 0.50, checks d.58.

Curistlania cables 25.10, checks 24.00. Some of the Scandinavian exchanges showed losses of 30 points from yester day's final figures. Chicago, May 27. Substantial gnins were made in the corn market today, May reaching $1.82, a new high point for the season. Dealings were not large, the board closing at noon on account of the purnde of the Thirty-third Divi sion. Offerings were restricted by reports that the central powers would be pcr- fmitted to import foodstuffs, nnd it was thought that the lightness of stocks would preclude any sharp declines until the situation had been relieved by a lib eral movement. The strength in May stimulated the demand for the Referred months. Out siders absorbed sales on setbacks and forced shorts to cover. There was a little rain in the belt, but not enough to seriously delay farm work. Oats were firmer in sympathy with corn, after having been unsettled early. Some important commission houses sold, right after the start, but later a good demand' developed from other sources, and there was considerable covering by shorts on the way up. May appeared to be tight. The trade was not inclined to give serious consideration to reports of dam age by insects in Missouri.

In th'e face of continued showery weather in the belt, the cotton market yielded to heavy local realizing at the start today and broke 20 to 42 points on first sales. The tone continued weak after the opening with a break of about $4 a bale from yesterday's close and nearly under general ?0 a bole from yesterday's high point under general selling for do mestic and foreign accounts." The early break carried the market 03 to SO points below last night's clos ing figures, with October contracts sell ing nt 31, or 120 points below the higher record of yesterday. There was heavy general realizing nnd probably . some selling for reaction on this decline. and stop orders were uncovered.
