The Priori Incantatem stopped because Harry broke the connection that 
was forcing Voldemorts wand to reveal past spells.

A paraphrase of the section chapter 34 (Priori Incantatem):
The jet's of light, green from Voldemort's and red from Harry's, from 
the wands met in midair...the beam of light was bright deep 
gold...both wands were vibrating .... Harry and Voldemort were lifted 
from the circle of DEs and a gold "dome" surrounded them ... Harry 
saw Voldemort trying to break the thread of light connecting the 
wands ... the phoenix song fills the air... the connection between 
the wands changed and large beads of lights were sliding on the 
beam.. a bead almost connects with Harry's wand... Harry concentrated 
on forcing the beads toward Voldemort's wand..Harry focused on 
forcing the bead to connect with Voldemort's wand"  It is at this 
point the Priori Incantatem began with the wand that the bead 
connected.  
<skip about 2 1/2 pages depending on your edition>
James tells Harry what to do when the connection is broken.
"'NOW!' Harry yelled" <snip> "He pulled his wand upward with an 
almight wrench".

DD confirms, in Chapter 36, that had the wands stayed connected more 
victims would have emerged. 

Hope this answers your question,
