NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, April THE opening
dealings at the Stock Exchange were
without special feature, prices generally
having yielded hqA per cent. under COM
parauveiy slight sales. The receipt Or
lower cables from London was mainly
responsible for the decline. After the
short interest had been increased the
bulls took hold of the market with some
thing like their old-time vigor, and the
complexion OF speculation underwent
complete change. An advance OF Aaz
per cent. was recovered, ana IN many
instances the highest figures or the week
were recorded. The commisslon-houses
had liberal orders both from local and
out-of-town operators.
The leaders in the rise were Delaware
and Hudson, General Electric, Lead, chi
cago Gas, Sugar. Missouri Pacific, and
the Changers. Subsequently. Chicago Gas
fell off 2. TO 632s; Delaware and Hudson
IL, to l3, and the remainder OF the list
/. TO "a per cent. The reaction was due
who bought at low prices early In the
week, and were unwilling TO carry their
contracts over Sunday. The undertone
OF speculation, however, was firm. and
the feeling in stock circles IS quite con-
fdent.
The active inquiry for bonds is a con-
snicuous feature OF the dealings at the
Exchange. and has a strengthening in
auence on the market for stocks. Specula-
ton left off firm.
Railway and miscellaneous bonds were
active and strong.
