New York, May 4.
Trading at the opening of Wall Street today was quiet with prices showing a tendency to ease, owing to unsettling reports from Europe. However, better Washington news, particularly prospects of tax amelioration, bolstered sentiment and prices rallied, though operators showed a tendency to hold aloof near the close of the market. Utilities and rails were good performers. Closing conditions were quiet, and the volume of business passing amounted to 660,000 shares.—Reuer.
