New York, April 1.-THE formal declara'

was TO be expected, in fairly active and
generally lower market for stocks. The
opening was somewhat excited, but that
condition had disappeared before the end
of the first hour of business After that

At midday the market became inactive
and in con nsequence fairly steady. In the
afternoon the selling was resumed and
was accompanied by no end OF alarn ming
rumors, confirmation of which had nJt
yet come to hand.
Owing TO the holiday throughout Europe
today the course OF prices here gives COM
paratively little indication as to how
foreign security and money markets will
regard formal hostilities between Greece
and Turkey. A good deal was said today
about heavy foreign selling here, but the
facts as far as aSceTtained, indicate that
the volume of that selling has been greatly
exaggerated One order from Europe to
sell 600 shares Of various stocks was
executed, but there is excellent authority
for the statement that it was a purely
speculative order.
