Have to Say of Yesterday's Trading
.Speclnl to Thi- 3-m.s-_>l.patch,)
NEW YORK, March 25.?The Evenlng
Poet says: Soveral rathor unploasant de
velopments, from tho stock markot's
point of vlew, upsot prices ln tho after?
noon. closing tho day with many consld
erable decllnes.
The day opened lnauspiclously enough,
with a half-polnt break ln consols on tho
London market. Whilo this Htrlklng in
cldent wbjs under discussion, Wnll Stroot
learnod, flrst, that tho sub-Troasury was
a creditor thls mornlng at-tho cloarlng
hous., showlng resumptlon of lhe Treas?
ury wlthdrawitis, and 'second, thnt $500,000
gold had been ordered from Argontlno.
These announcements did not prepare the
flnanclal mind to-recelve enthuslastlcally
the lator statomont,- from Phlladelphla,
regarding the Pennsylvanla Rallroad'a
plans to ralse ita addltional $100,000,000
on now stock.
Littlo ot speclal comment ls neded on
the day's courso of prlcos. As a rulo, the
markot closed around tho lowost. Do
Dllno In Southern Paclflo sharos was pos?
slbly Interestlng .in vlew of tho alleged
contost for cofitrol. ,So was a 8 polrit
fall ln Amalgamated Copper, whlch was
commonly ascrlbed to a wavorlng of the
London copper markot. A point worlh i
noticing Is that, boforc tho day was ovor,
tho London market had dtstlnctly turned,
consols and gold mine shares reoovorlng
nharply on tho buylng lncldont to bnr
galn-day. Wall Stroet, after such move
.nents as to-day's, Is llkely to watch for
slmllar reactlons.
Tho Mall and Express says: Tho local
speculation was lnfluenced In conslder
ablo meosuro by the Uuctuatlons ln con?
sols, altliough thero were somo homo fac?
tors at work, whlch helped to bring about
the erratlc prlce movoment that marked
the courso of tho day's market, The ro
sponso to London wns reflected in an ear?
ly fractlonul declino and a subsequent
recovory, ln which the llst generally wns
carrled above last nlght's closing In a few
cases, notably In Wabash preferred. J/onn

T"io Commorclnl-Advortlser says: To
iiay's markot continued under proKSurn
from tho samo quarters that woro ln
strumental ln bringlng about tho <_~~lin~
of tho procedlng days. Tho downward
movement, however, was decldedly un
even. In tho early part of tlie session lt
looked as though tho short Interest wore
trying to reduco Its eommltments. nnd
tliat a few stocks wero belng spoclnlly
