New York Stock Market Xcw York, N. Y? May 4.?A definite, movement toward lower prices gained considerable headway to-day In the stock market. The curious apathy which the market has displayed re? cently in the face of unsettled mllu ences disappeared to-day. and Stocks no longer received such staunch sup? port as to render them Immune to these Influences. The market seemed to be laboring under the strain of both short selling and liquidation of lung stock. Prices rallied from lime to time, and the manner in which large offerings were made on each recovery suggested that the influence of liquida? tion was the . preponderating one. Bearish activity Increased later in the day, however, and in the last part of the session seemed to be concentrat? ed on United States Steel. large blocks of which were thrown on the market In rapid succession. Heading, which hay been the most active stock dur? ing most of the past week, was sold heavily anain to-d.iy. with more tell? ing effect, the price declining - 5-S points. One explanation of the move? ment In this issue which was accepted widely was that large poo! holdings were being disposed of. Bullish operations in specialties were ! continued to-day. hut failed to impart strength to the standard issues. Inter? national Harvester was again the prominent feature of this division, ris? ing to n prlrr of nine points I above yesterday's low figure, hut I yielded later. Buying ?f ihe st"ck was reported come fr--m brokcriige Interests, commonly associated with! inside knowledge of the company's af. i fairs, and ihe belief that the stock: may soon receive benefits of tin In? creased dividend gained further ground to-day. With the increase in bearish senti? ment the market was more inclined to take cognizance of such adverse in? fluences as the proposed congressional > Investigation of several large corpora- i Hons. Increased labor unrest and the ! Mexican situation. Official advices j from Mexico, pointing the conclusion of peace arrangements, did hot offset ? the effect of disturbing Information re-j reived In the last few days.. Sales of bonds to-day were the larg- ' est of any day In many weeks. The! period of activity In this market" has , now been in progress about a fort night, and shows no signs of dlmln- 1 Ishlng. Purchases by individuals, bond! dealers said to-day, have been large.' but the great bulk of buying has I uen for the account of moneyed Instliu-1 tions. The extremely low rates pre? vailing for money in the open market; have virtually forced Institutions or this character to purchase bonds. ] Time money rates are now frcm 1 to 2 i per cent, under those prevailing at i this time last year. Another cut In the price of nails, | the second In the lnst fortnight, and a . meeting of the lending sheet steel makers for discussion of the mainte? nance of prices were tho only side? lights thrown on tho steel nnd Iron situation to-day. It is increasingly evident that some o, the smaller Inde- j pendent companies arc growing restive! under the restraint Imposed by pre-] vailing conditions, and that something! in tho nature of remedial measures: may be for ? necessary. Some addl-; tlonsl March rnllrond returns were re-; celved, and most of them showed de? creases In earnings. Contrasted with tho recent experiences of American railroads Is that of Canadian Pacific,! whose unabated prosperity was Indi? cated to-day by Ihe statement that in I the third week of April its gross re- j ccipts increased $207.000. After its re- j cord-breaking advance, the stock re- j lapsed four points to-day. Bonds were strong. Total sales, par : value, $0,027.000. United States gov. I eminent 2's declined 1-S on call.

Tho market opened barely stoutly nt tin advance of V points on the obi crop, ?hielt was Influenced by steady cables ami a continued larce Liverpool spot business, bill generally 6If7 pelnts lower under new crop liquidation in response to the more favorable weather map. As soon as n few overnight buying orders In the old crop had been explained nnd executed near positions turned easy, and in the first half hour ac? tive months had sold off to n net loss of from STtl? points. A rally of 4 or e points then occurred ns n result of coverlnc by old shotts and a little buying for a turn, but no aggressive bull support developed, and the market turned easier asruln after the official forecasts were published, the lowest point being reached during the afternoon when active position sold about 17 5*0 points under the closlni: figures of last night. Stop? ps orders were uncovered on this break, but around 15.14 for July leading bulls be? came buyers, and Jtuctuattons In the later tt" itng were nervous nnd irregular with the old rvT> closing 4 or e points up from the lowest, although late deliveries were finally at the lowett level of the day. In addition to better weather reports, con? tinued talk of a slack domestic trade de rhind ar.d prediction? that the week-end fig? ures would compare less bulllihly with last year than f;?r the vast several weeks, were factors on the ,\t -line. The Western belt forecast, while calling for generally warmer weather, foreshadowed unsettled conditions In Oklahoma. Arkansas and parts of Texas, and private predictions. ha?ed upon the presence of a low barometer In the North? west, were for renewed rains before Sunday. The Eastern belt expects generally fair weather to-night ar.d to-morrow. Receipts at the ports to-day were 13.535 bates acalr.st I.4J4 last tveek and 10.711 last year.
