STOCK MOVEMENT SLUGGISH.
The Stock Market Waiting in Idle
ness for Some Decisive Incident.


ness for Some Decisive Incident.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The market for
securities sluggish and almost stagnant
today Prices ruled below Saturdays c.ose.
The trading was narrow and professional
and declines really Represented nothing more
than a natural reaction from Saturdays ad-
vance. The supply of stocks continued very
limited. owners apparently being content to
hold their property for higher prices. Neither
is there any very active demand for stocks
at the present level. The consequence is
that the movement of prices is very narrow.
There being no genuine demand f,r stocks
and no real pressure of liquidation, prices
naturally lose one day what they gained the
day before gain the next day what they
lose today.
There was some selling in this market to-
day for London account which may have
represented liquidation by timid foreign hold
ers. There was some speculative activity
also, and quite wide movement of prices
in some of the high-priced Industrial spe-
ciaties.
Otherwise the market was in the hands of
the room traders. The waiting attitude of
traders is likely to continue until the oc-
currence of some event giving clear indi-
cation Of the course or probable duration
of the war with SPAIN
The future Of the stock market is also de-
pendent largely on the course of the money
market There was nothing in today's de-
velopments to indicate accurately what that
course will be-. There is some demand for
currency from the interior, Chicago exchange
on New York falling again today to DIS
count. The subtreasury also issued no.
tice that it would receive no further deposits
on account of shipments of currency from
Washington or of Geographic transfers to
any point. The transfers of this character
today amounted to 100000, and in view Of
the depletion of the treasury's supply of cur
rency and good supply of gold, the above no.
tice was made necessary. There were no
change in the rates for time money or COM
mercial paper, although call money contin-
ued to be fairly well supplied. No apprhen-
sion was expressed of stringency in the i'm
mediate future.
There was sharp advance in the foreign
exchange rates, demand sterling bills rising
one-half. There is no very active demand
for exchange. but the stocks which had ar
cumulated in New York had been largely
worked ,1 off by the Importation Of god. The
evidently ceased, though any active demand
for money, it is believed, would PROMPTLY
bring about its resumption.
