to Recover.


NEW YORK, April 2.-Bradstreet's review
of the stock market will say:
After some further decentralization in the
carly part of the week, due to exaggerated fears
of general rate cutting as a consequence of
the transmissouri decision, stock values have, on
suit of the fact that the railroad managers
as class are behaving with great conserva-
action that would disturb the situation. The
decision OF the western managers to retain
their central agreement, not as traffic associa-
ton, but as bureau of information and of
the trunk lines to continue their joint traffic
association pending the result of the case in
volving its legality both had a good effect.
The prompt Introduction of pooling bill in
the senate also tended to restore confidence.
though the later reports make II very doubtful
II action can he secured such measure
at this session of congress.
on the other hand. the market has had some
unfavorable factors to contend with. The Eu-
ropean political situation has been very strained
and the London market nervous and inclined to
do nothing, while reports that was the
point of breaking out between Greece and Tur-
key, though not verified, found temporary be-
lief, with a disturbing effect on prices The
fact that the tariff BILL after being rapidly
passed in the house, has gone to the senate,
where 1t will doubtless meet with both delay
and considerable change. also has tendency
to introduce an event of uncertainty in busi
ness, which the stock market cannot disregard.
Above all the extreme weakness OF the coalers.

Central. and the evidence of heavy iquida-
all bull speculation and have kept up the bear
ish inclnatons Of the room traders. The lat
ter. in fact seem to have complete control of
the market. The recent break eliminated pub
conditions not favorable for large operators
to take the initiative on the bull side. Lon

put out on the transmissouri decision and to
that extent has been n help to prices, but though
the general feeling is less apprehensive the

at an early hour this morning. Fortunately
there were no lives lost, workmen being at

many persons rushed from their homes to

person injured was Mrs. Hahn. who was
badly cut about the face and body. The
damaged residences are located nearly half
mile from the scene of the explosion. Mr..
