The constriction of the money supply,and the adVance in the rate for call money precipitated such a spasm of liquidation as threw the stock market into a condition bordering on de- ' moralization. -What', happened today la the stock market is what, according to the common agreement of all classes of observers, was bound to happen in due course of time. -.'Nevertheless,. as is wont ' of stock market . happenings, the day's events came as a surprise. Even the most enthusiastic bull has agreed to.the proposition that such a rampant specula tion as has been going on for weeks past was bound to overdo itself . and be 10I lcwed by a relapse of corresponding vio lence. Only the enthusiastic bull has clung to the supposition that the relapse was still remote and has continually moved forward the supposed date of its occurrence, in the hope that there was still time for another speculative turn. Even the wild and excited market of last week, which was an ominous symptom, left the bulls unprepared for today's de velopments. .Tips for a rise in many stocks were widely prevalent bef V; the opening this morning and the explana tion was offered that Thursday's flurry in call-loan rates was due to manipula tion by the bears. But the instant the market opened It became evident that tne developments since Thursday had induc ed a widespread determination •to sell stocks. Another palpable fact was that some of the most powerful operators in the market had already sold their hold ings and taken profits during the wild excitement of last week and were com pactly organized on %he bear side of the market this morning ; Perceiving the highly vulnerable condition of the mar ket owing to the g^ferextension of long accounts, thinly m^Med and backed by weak resources, tlie^Sars fell upon the I market with greatJßfixceness and cut a wide breach in prices at the first on slaught. . The widereAtent of the first declines, which were" made by successive drops from 1 to 2%CP*oTnts between saios, invited .to quick brant-taking by the bears, and the violent f rallies which en sued encouraged thd trails to make some stand against the reduction, hoping that the flurry was teraporjary and the mar ket prepared to reEt&wgthe advance. This was the only perjpdofpf the day when there was any show:, of positive strength, and Sugar, People's Texas & Pacific and a number of ''less . important stocks were marked up sharply over last Thurs day's level. The sf^ngth was short-liv ed, however, and af|ejj.jthe demand from the bears had been^satisnei many of the banks began calling* lerans. This brought a fresh supply. of liquidation in the mar ket and invited a «l'r£s'h attack by the bears. The selling became precipitate, as tho fall in prices wiped out margins and uncovered .stop-loss orders and the un lucky bulls jettisoned great bales of stock with the hope of relieving their load and saving other holdings from the - ship wreck. 'The only important demand at any time •came from the shorts and the occasional _spasmodic rallies wem. not held any case. This was true of the last as of former rallies, and, although ; prices had not fallen' back to the lowest all around,' they were again oh the down grade in most cases; arid the closingr was irregular and only slightly above the lowest.

WASHINGTON, April 8.-In deciding the case of the John Hancock Mutual .Life Insurance company vs. William M. Warren, the United States supreme court today affirmed the validity of section 3,625 of: the Revised Statutes of the State of Ohio, providing that no answer to an in terrogatory made by an applicant for a life insurance policy shall bar the right to recover unless it is proved that such answer wag fraudulently made: The de cision was in favor of Warren, and in handing it down Chief Justice Puller re marked that "it was for the legislature of Ohio to define the public policy of that state in respect to life insurance and to impose such conditions on the transac tion of business by life insurance com panies within the state as was deemed best." FAILED TO MAKE THE SPEED. Gunboat Parry .Yot Able to Reach Twenty-Nine Knot*. WASHINGTON, April B.—Secretary Long was informed today that the torpe do boat Perry, built by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, failed to meet contract speed requirements en her recent official trial. Under the contract the ves sel was required to develop a speed of twenty-nine knots an hour, but the best she could do on her trial run was 25.2 knots an hour. • The failure to make the full speed re quired— twenty-nine, knots— not re sult in the rejection of the ship, as the contract provides a penalty for deficiency in speed between twenty-nine and twen ty-eight knots. The boat will therefore be accepted, the price being $259,000, in stead of the full contract price of $283, --000.
