I? VALUE
Many Discouraging Features
on the Exchange.
PUBLIC HOLDING ALOOF
Money Situation Has Improved so Much
That it Ceased to Be Important
Factor, but Despite This Prices
Developed.
(Br AesuclBted Pre??.)
NEW TORK, April 7.?The weakness
which developed'In to-day's stock.,market
bore witness to tho disappointment felt
In speculative circles at the failure of
what are considered favorable develop?
ments In tho situation to awnk?n any
sign of interest in speculation on the part
.? of the outside public. jCaJl money was
not higher than six per cent, at any
time to-day and fell lower than that on
enlarged o?forlngs by the banks. There
was some lending on call also by stock
commission houses, wliich have supplied
their expeoted needs with time loans
and have money on tholr hands now
owing to the poetical stagnation of tho
commission business ln stocks at pres?
ent. The Immediate money situation
ciases to be ? factor in the stock mar?
ket
The indefinite postponement of the
Southern Pacific annual meeting was
viewed In a moro encouraged spirit this
morning, owing to its Insurance of the
Indefinite prolongation of tho present con?
trol of that property, but renewed un?
easiness was ftilt 'over the position of
the. sp_c_Ja.tivo pool ln Southern Pacific
stock; The extension of the pool carries
It only to April 10th and the suggestive
weakness of the stock to-day had a weak
. enlng sympathe?o effect on the mar
et.
Thore was heavy selling at other points
In the list attributed to tho saipe source.
,? This development put an end quickly
to an upward movement during the first
hour, led by New York Central, which
seemed designed as a bull demonstra?
tion, with tho purpose of attracting the
expected outskto interest. When this de
nonstratlon wns soon to fall of Its spoc
..latlvo Ireterost became quito stagnimi.
Reports of strikes at some of the col
lerios In tho anthracite region owing
to disputed Interpretation of tho Strike
Commission's award had a depressing
effect on the coalors. Tho sliarp declines
In the United States Steel securities com?
ing at tho samo timo with ? meeting
of th Flnaiico Committee of tho corpora?
tion had a decidedly unfavorable effect.
Both stocks fell over a point and the
new 6 per cent, bonds sold on tho curb
at S4 1-2.
A feature of the day was the wide de?
clines amongst dormant stocks made nec?
essary before a salo could be affected.
Lack?wanna was sold down 9 points af?
ter a preliminary rise of a point. Lake
Brio and Western preferred and Cleve?
land, Loraln and Wheeling preferred each
dropped five points on Blngle. sales, West
inghouse Electric ??, Virginia-Carolina
Chemical preferred 3 3-4 nnd New York
Dock preferred 2 1-2. The expected Ju?
dicial discussion In connection with the
pointu left uncovered by tho decision In
the Southern Pacific injunction cnRe and
-the- possibilities lying ln the ?-orthern
Securities decision woro believed to have
a good deal to do with the weak under?
tone of the market.
Bonds -were dull nnd irregular. To?
tal sales, par value, $1,7-0.
United Stales 3's coupon advanced 1-1
per cent, and the 3's declined 1-2 per

EDITORS' VIEWS
What the New York Afternoon Papers
Say About Yesterday's Trading.
(Special. ,to .The TTmes-ninpntcli.)
NE3W YOB.?C, April 7.-The Evening Sun
says: It was a matter of general com?
ment to-day that while tho stock market
?woe decidedly weak in particular quarters
tho prosaure was by no moans general,
and the more aggressivo selling of stocks
eoamed to be plainly designed for tho pur?
pose of forcing general liquidation. Whllo
?lecllnes were common In practically every
luartor of the market, It was nevortlio
esE true that a large number of stocks
fhowed an excellent flegroo of support.
Thoso securities in which the 3iresauro
of selling was most prominent wero
Southern Pacific, Rock Island, Amalga?
mated Oop3ier. Baltimore and Ohio apd
tho United States Stool shares. Tho deal?
ings woro largely tor professlonnl no
count, however, commission houses re?
portan? little activity on the part of their
customers ln ono direction or other. In
such a professional market, and In tho
absence of reni news of any great Import?
ance, the day's discussion and tho com?
ments upon particular movements had,
naturally, a professional and technical
charaoter.
The CJommerdal-AdvortlsiM? says: To?
day's market was a great disappointment
to tlio majority of professional traders
who had looked to sen the advance ln
prices resumed. It cannot be salrl that
anything In Uie outside situation was
positively unfavorable this morning. Tho
prevailing feeling with regard to the
Southern Pacific Judgment was ono of
satisfaction, not only because of the pre?
liminary opinion In the suit itself, but
because the status quo In tho management
of the company Is to lie so well preserved
pendlng the action of tho higher tribu?
nal. Thoro wns nothing genuinely dis?
turbing In this phase of the mutter. So
far as tlio money question was concern?
ed, tho day's developments encouragent
the Idea that relaxation Is Immediately
nt hand. The banks gained In yesterday's
operations with the sub-Treasury and
thov now have against them for th? week
so far th?. trilling sum of ?85.000. More?
over, there Ik reason lo believe that cur
lencj- Is ?lowing In quite freely through
??^1<V out-of-town exchanges. Call money
Writes, reflecting these changes for the l.et
: ter, grew decidedly easier to-day.

slow ebbing.away of values, with a few
Incidental recoveries, some of which came
In the last few minutes. 'Changes were
Irregular. Ine excellent show of rail?

the month of March continued. In this
direction there have been such oxhil??ls

WALL STREET GOSSIP
Southern Pacificane! Steel Under Pres?
sure?Good Buying of N. and W,
(Spo?lul to Tho Tlnie~-DI?|iiltcli.)
NEW YORK, April 7.? The stock mar?
kot opened stoady to /firm with rather
clear evldenc. that tho traders had not
mado up their minds as to what the mar?
ket should do, now that tho Southern
Pacific matter was not ono of Immediate
Importance. The orders from the.outside
were trilling, and thero was no particu?
lar foreign trading, Rock Island noted
as If Chicago people woro behind It.
Union Pacifia showed considerable
Strength! and specialists say the Harrl?
man interests accumulated the stock free?
ly' in the recent depression.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC:
Southern Pa?lflo was rather .heavy, ns
it was argued that the dissolution of the
pool on Friday would Inlluonce the stock
materially ln some way when tho market
opened on Monday morning, There Is
some reason to think, however, Unit tho
members of the pool would not sacrifice
tholr holding? at present prices, while
tho Harrlman In t'eresia consider the stock
cheap.
THE TRACTIONS:
Brooklyn Rapid Transit wns dull hut
firm, and seemed to bo laboring under
tho usual difficulty of ? strong bull pool
unable to attract an effective publlo Ir,,
torest. Tlio talk on tho effect of tho now
power-bonne and the largo number of
new cars available for summer business
was bullish.
EARLY MARKET WAS DULL:
The market In splto of Its early strength
became extremely dull In tlio first hour,
and the reaction In Southern Pacific on
the uncertainty of the pool operation had
more effect than It was entitled to liuvu,
The Waldorf crowd was talking a little
bearish on the theory that the market
would not rally with any spirit and hojfj
so far merely shown activity on decline.
Infrequently represented tho Speyer?, who
reorganized the property, nnd consequent,
ly the room considered tlio buying good,
A gold 1*Ib for Mexico was not really a
factor of Importance, but the prices are
lower than at the reorganization.
NORFOLK BUY1NO OOOD:
'I'll? buying In Norfolk and Western
was considered pood nnd retlected the
Philadelphia opinion of tho profits In the
advance of rates for carrying coal. The
largo earnings also helped the rise.
BUSINESS FELL OFF:
Tho volume Of business fell off about
U) per cent. In the second hour, and upon
Hit. whole price? did not retain their early
rallies very well. It was said that there
wiu? some ?l.uUlcant liquidation In Svuth
ern Paclllc, and one or two early bull
tips went wrong.
ROCK ISLAND PRESSURE: ? .
The Koene brokers were rather heavy
syielrs of stock during tho morning. The
rp-esHiire In Rock Island from Street &
Norton, amounted in all to some 10.000
snares, was perhaps noticeable In this
connection.
ATTEMPTED TO RALLY SUGAR:
L. Wormser, w.ho had sold Sugar on
thep revlous day, attempted to rally It
with indifferent success.
POOL LIQUIDATING:
The room story was that prominent
members of the Southern Pnclflc pool
were liquidating and that the Harrlman
interests were taking the stock ns It. cam?)
out. It was a floor story and Is given
for what it is worth.
BULL TIP ON LEATHER:
The bull tip on Leather was given out
early and was bucked up by the buying
of the common by C. Knoblauch and the
preferred by T. C. Buck. It looked as if
scattering long stock was coming out'
on the advance.
EARLY AFTERNOON DECLINE: ?
Whether the decline In the early nfter
noo nwas on an organized raid on the
Southern Pacllle pool or not, the market
was decidedly weak and there wns obvious
liquidation In places. There was, ot
course, plenty of bear news, most of It
of n rather vague character, but the liqui?
dation In suoh stocks n s Steel common
hnd a distinctly unfavorable effect that
It was felt that public holdings wero
coming to market.
THE COALERS:
The hard ca.il stocks were Inclined to
sell off on the unsatisfactory reception
of the strike commission's terms by some
of the miners and tho calling In of
Mitchell to adjust the matter.
AMALGAMATED COPPER:
The selling In Amalgamated Copper
looked bettor, than the buying. Tho
Standard Oil Interest was not extending
much encouragement to bulls of the
stock, although they saw nothing unfav?
orable In the Copper situation. Pe?ple
who bought on the , rumored settlement
of the copper war were probably throw?
ing over stock.
THE CLOSE:
T.ho close was relieved to a very mod?
erato extent by tho covering of profes?
sional shorts, but upon the whole the
feeling was depressed In view of tho evi?
dence of liquidation In places. The pro?
fessional element was bearish.
COTTON ??G-ICETS;
NEW YORK. April 7.?The cotton mar?
ket opened Arm at an advance of 1@7
point?, mid immediately following the call
displayed quite a little activity with May
Holing up to 10.40 and July to 9.99, and be?
ing a new high record for the Season.
The initial strength was due to continued
buying In tho old crop positions, particu?
larly by May and July shorts, but the
shorts were about the only buyers, and
while the Liverpool market made a fair
responso to the New York advance of
Monday, port receipts woro heavy and the
markot after a brief Interval of irregular?
ity turned decidedly weak undor liqui?
dation. During the balance ot tho session
prices dlsplayod an almost uninterrupted
downward tendency, though toward tho
doso there wns an Improvement for the
lowest of 8 points in May and about -
points on the list generally ns a result
of further covering, with the market An?
ally barely steady at a net declino ot ?
points to nn advance of 1 point. Total
sales futures estimated at 200,000 bales. "
A factor In the declining tendency wns
the talk.of shipments to bo made to this
point for delivery on May oontrnots, and
It was claimed that the high lovol attain?
ed by values In the local markot permit
of tho better grades being shipped here
from Liverpool. It was said that ojifiut
40,000 bales woro being held In the South
for shipment to New York for dellvory
should the bull clique call for actual do
Ivory on May holdings, and this naturally
encouraged room aborts to maintain their
position, while It also brought about re?
newed .sales by commission houses who
took proflts for tho long account, and tho
bull pool was also credited with selling
May.
Cotton futuros oponed nrm and closed

The condition' of the tobacco market
during the week ending April 3d closed
very firm, and we can report higher
prices on all grades In good order. Th?

very active and has kept up about top

fine prices, ranging from $15 to ?23.50 per

ity and strength, and Indications point
toward higher prices for good tobacco.
Dark stommlng tobaccos havo also ad?
vanced In prices and are selling above the
usual quotations. We anticipate a market
above the average for the coming week.

Receipts last week were much lighter
than for the past few wooks. This was
caused by the hot and damp weather,
whloh got the tobacco In very bad condi?
tion. Two-thirds of It at least was, either
In very soft order and hot or more or loss
mouidy. There was hardly a crop offered
that was not damaged. This materially
reduced prices on all grades, except line :
wrappers, which wss fully sustained.
This caused tho planters to stop bringing
their tobacco to market, but put them to
reordering and putting their tobacco in
bettor condition before offering it for
sale. Receipts of bright tobaccos continue
very light. With dry weather we ex?
pect much lighter receipts for the next
few weeks.
