The speculative feeling in Wall street
closed bearish under renewed reports
that the May interest would be antici-
pated and that the Government would
increase the sales of gold next month.
Late advices from Washington repre-
sent the prospect as unfavorable for the
adoption of the funding bill. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury is represented as
willing to surrender everything in the
bill except the authorization to issue
