April 12, — Prices moved lr rejTClarly downward in tte stock market today I <*> narrowing transactions of a professional kind, j I The declines were said to have Induced some ! liquidation of loag stock, but Importance was SKsliTBPd to the activity of the bears in the market. The news of the day was not of treat apparent effect outside a few special stocks. In tae coppers there was weakness Jioth here and abroad. This was in connection ' *rlth the fall In the price of copper warrants i In tte London market and the marking down \of th* price of copper upon tbe New York Metal Exchange. The denial hy the agents of I t!>e great producers of the reliability of these 1 <]uotationi> as an index of the actual market ', for copper was givrn a good deal of discussion, ; bat they do not prevent the stocks of the copper J companies from being depressed by the lower j Injt quotations. Copper securities abroad, *ln j r!u<!ing Klo Tlntos, fell sharply in price. This ! movement of tlie coppers had more or less ! Fvmpethetic effect upon tbe whole market. Pro ! Sessions of apprehension over the prospect fpr '< the crops were a factor In the depression. • These were found in the reports of crop experts '. traveling in tie crop regions, and their influence ; *es Increased by the firm tone in the wheat \u25a0 market. Besides the Immediate effect of these ' reports depressing prices, they served as a re ; minder of tbe prowlnit importance to be looked '- for from this time forward of tbe new crops as '11 market factor. Thin makes a season prob :' eble of entertain fluctuations in stocks, which ! are a deterrent from large speculative commlt ! tnents in tbe market. The continued decline I In money rates U.iii here and abroad seems to have failed to incite any active demand for se \u25a0 purities. The failure of the market to respond • to ttlr development has much to do with en- I rourspliifr the bears to make tbe attacks on the ; market whicb have boen noticeable for two ! <Jars pnst. Preliminary estimates of the week's '\u25a0 currency movement with tbe interior indicate. I « balance in favor of New York of less than a • million, dollars. The Snbtreasnry operations tiave contributed $2,5Cf1.000 to the banks since ihe last bank statement. • Last week's cash : pain, although very large, vas less than the preliminary estimates, and this gives some ex pectation that the preliminary figures somewhat understate the actual caln to be shown In to morrow's Rtatrn:ent. The abstract of national back repons as of March 22 shows the ex tended position of the credit situation the coun try throcph. end explains the expectation in Ibankir. r quarters of a continued demand for cash from the interior to keep up reserves. Frdm January 2G to Merch 22 tbe loans expanded 172.576.460. while tbe percentage of legal re i*Tves to deporiis had fallen from 21.53 per cent to 20.74 per cent. Agricultural exports for March shewed an Increaar in value over March of last year of 512.726.154, although each Item rxcept cotton showed a decline from last week of 1.C23.7G7 basliels for wneat and 1.441.255 bushels for corn. Tbe market was not under Immediate pressure at Hie closing, but there : wan no vigorous recovery. \ Bonds w.'re heavy. Total sales, par value, $1,204,000. United States bonds were uncßanged on call. \e*r York Stock MAnt • E. F.
