Pit shorts who had big profits covered freely at one time and turned the market back a cent or so. but thru it all the trend was downward. No support worth talking about could be seen. The buying was only that from shorts who bought in short stuff and stood ready to put it out again on a rally, or from those who thought that after three days of slaughter and declines of 15c to 20c it might do to buy it for an upturn. These latter buyers stood ready to let go again on further weakness and so the market remained nervous and uncertain as ever. Commission houses were advising traders to go a little slow on the short side, for, as is always the case, there were many ready to sell in the 80s who would do nothing out buy it above $1. In all probability there is a short interest of great size outstanding, and even if the market is to go still lower as many believe, there is danger of being caught in a sudden upward rush that would follow a general effort to cover short wheat. That the manipulators would have had to take care of much wheat if they bad not abandoned the comer when they did, was evident from the movement today, which showed 121 cr in Chicago against 12 a year ago, and 166 here against 12T.

Union Pacific, St. Paul and Other Stocks Yield Under the Resultant DepressionFeverish Rallies Fail to Hold Prices UpStrong Effort to Support Transcontinentals. New York, April 24.The opening trading in stocks was active and the tone unsettled. There were wide changes both ways, but losses predom inated. Large offerings of Union Pacific carried it down 1%. Kansas & Texas preferred lost as much. Chesapeake & Ohio and People's Gas a point and St. Paul, Amalgamated Copper, Repub lic Steel, Car, Colorado Fuel and General Elec tric large fractions. Theer was vigorous support in some of the southern stoqks which lifted Louis ville & Nashville and Tennessee Coal a point, Rubber Goods almost as much and Mexican Cen tral The market steadied slightly after the open ing, but the 10-point break in Northern Securi ties on the curb renewed the liquidation and prices fell heavily thruout the list. Northern Pacific newly released by the Northern Securities dissolution, sold at 168 and 167%, compared with a nominal quotation of 180 bid, maintained for some time past. The plunge carried down Union Pacific 3%, St. Paul 2%, Smelting 2%, Amalgamated Copper 2%, Colorado Buel 3%, Ten nessee Coal 2%, Sloss-Sheffield Steel 3, Lead 2%, People's Gas 5, New York Central, 2%, Ontario & Western 2%, Rock Island 2%, General Elec tric 2% and Chesapeake & Ohio, Canadian Pacific, Southern Pacific, Illinois Central, American Car and some others about 2 points. The general de clines ran from 1 to 2 points. There were fever ish rallies of from 1 to 2 points, but prices at other points continued to decline. Support in the transcontinental stocks became effective and rallied them 1% and Amalgamated Copper, Smelting and People's Gas recovered 2 points. The support was not effective in the general list and there were some further declines. Northern Pacific sold at 165 and General Elec tric lost 4. When the liquidation was checked activity of_ trading diminished greatly and the tone became uncertain at the recovered level. Consolidated Gas rose 1%, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago j& St. Louis 1%, Atlantic Coast Line at noon rose 2% over last week. Bonds were unsteady at nono. Early losses were largely restored in the more representative stocks. Bull operators derived en couragement from the support to Union Pacific and the buoyancy of the southern group and bought more generally thruout the list. Lou isville & NashvUel jumped to 150% and Atlan tic Coast brought 169. Northern Pacific had re covered to 170 by 1 o'clock. Altho there was persistent buying during the forenoon.the effect on the general marke-t was no pronounced. Railroad stocktsh halted generally when they got near Thursday's closing.
