NEW YORK. April 30.-There was quite an extensive taking of profits to-day after the three days advance in prices. The realizing sales clipped off something from the days ex- treme advance. leaving net gains in the rail- road list mostly fractional In some of the Epeciaties, notably Sugar, there remained over 6 point of net gain. The bull leaders this morning had to face the sentimental effect of early declines for Americans in London ex- tending to nearly point in some cases. This meant that any advance in the prices here would have to carry the burden of arbitrage sales. Prices were. however bid up at every appearance of confidence and the offerings of the arbtrage brokers quickly absorbed

terie of professional operators to enter the mar ket for bull turn. This commenced operations on Thursday. The arguments they offered to justify the advance were the naval victory by the United States squadron off the Philippines Spanish works at Matanzas had conclusively demonstrated the skill and superiority of United States gunners and guns. Both of these factors, it was argued, gave potent prom arms.
 The general public showed no signs of a purpose to put their money into the stock market under the aggressive leadership de veloped by the bull coterie.

The consultation of the Sec retary of the Treasury with a number of lead Ing fnanciers served to clear the situation
 The success Of the proposed loan at per cent was felt to be assured and the plans for disbursement seemed to be sufficient to guard against sudden contractions and strin- gency. This was felt to give promise of easier conditions in the money market, where re- serves have been closely held and accommo- dations much restricted for some time past In anticipation of the demand for the Govern ment loan The actual conditions in the money market have in fact, become appreciaDly cas- fer during the week, and the rate for time loans shaded from to 51a per cent. The continued demand from the interior for money is attributed to the desire of interior banks to be prepared to meet the reducements of their depostors who subscribe to the bona issue Foreign exchange rose sharply early In the week, but has lost a great part or the gain and engagements of gold for import were made yesterday and to-day The strength in ex- change early in the week is said to have been due to some unexpected payments abroad by the Government and to delay in the receipts of commercial bills against grain shipments The settlements coming forward all the time and the demand for exchange from i'm porters is at this time. small Another feature in the exchange situation Is worthy or con sideraton.
