A<>ril 2.— The stock market to-day continued almost wholly In professional hands and there was a further dwindling in the volume of operations. The tone of the market was heavy to weak throughout. The motives which prompted, the professional oper ators are difficult to discern. On Tuesday they bought .stocks with money at 15 per cent in the confidence thai the call money market was a!iout to relax. Yesterday they sold stocks again, although there was a distinct' relax ation in the call money rate with a promise of a further growth of- ease. Some other con siderations apparently intervened which caused a <juestion whether the easier money market was destined. to benefit the stock market. The Southern Pacific Quarrel weighed on the mar ket. The developments In this controversy showed nothing to affect directly the value, o£ the securities concerned, but- the bitterness of feeling shown by the contending -parties and the boldness of their habitual methods' In stock market' operations kept alive a fear that a speculative duel might fee precipitated j In the market Itself, with probably disastrous conswjuences to many Innocent onlookers. An other disturbing factor was the renewai,of liquidation la Pennsylvania, carrying- it back to last week's low level. The selling received a new imj«etus from the February statement of net earnings, which showed the expenses increased more- than twice as much as the increase in gross earnings, with a correspond ing cut in the net return*. The net earnings for two months are in consequence over a million dollars less than for the , 8a,me two months !ast year. Taken In connection, with the February Union Pacific statement pub lished on Tuesday, showing a decrease in net earnings cf $413,474. there is a disposition to eurmise that the recent liquidation in that stock may have been from other than pro fessional bear sources. The mildness of the demand for stocks for short account and the little help given to any rally in the markrt from tbe demand to cover emphasizes this Impression. The question of the action to be taken by the Wabash employes following th« dissolution of the strike injunction is awaited with some concern, as was indicated by the heaviness of the Wabash stocks to-day. The decline in Western Union had no other ex planation than the progress reported to be making toward a commercial basis by the wireless systems. A sharp break In the local c-opper market affected Amalgamated Copper. Tbe attack on Colorado Fuel was professedly I based on the proposed bond Issue. I^arge cus torr.s payments, deposits to retire circulation and come large .miscellaneous collections re sulted in absorption by the sub-treasury yes terday of $1,244,000 in spite of the Govern ment interest payable. Tills proved a disap pointment. The statements of the great for eign banks' for the week reflected the enor mous requirements for the April settlements. A reflux of funds to the market, however, is now .in order in both foreign money markets ! ar.tl here also the immediate money situation is a declining importance. Bonds were weak.
