EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 20.-The New York stock market offered firm resistance all day to the depression which reflected upon 1t from every other exchange in the world its declines at no time reaching more than fraction over point for active stocks. In the final hour, after trading the foreign bourses had been sus- pended for the day lively movement to buy developed on the New York Exchange which
 wiped out practically all the earlier losses and
 lifted the level of prices sharply above that of last night. The final recovery was brought
 about by the dissemination of a rumor that the period allowed Spain for reply to the ultima
 tum had been extended to Monday, with
 chance of a settlement being effected before that time There were some evidences of ma nipulation for the purpose of making last prices show striking gains For instance Burlington sold at 903s, and on the last sale jumped to s1h. broad view of the financial world
 shows that New York less affected by the crisis than any other financial center At no time were prices depressed to the London par ity. As a consequence there large arbi- trage selling here of international stocks. New York prices showing a fair profit over London quotations. The depression in London and on Continental bourses was more due to the panic These securities fell 1& in London and 3k. in Paris on forced liquidation. due to financial difficulties in France and Spain. Whatever de- presson there was the New York Exchange seemed to be due to sympathy with the de- presson in foreign markets. New York ab- sorbed the offerings of Its own securities for foreign account at prices above those prevail Ing abroad, and there was no heavy liQufda- tion for local account. It is to be observed that American securities have held fairly steady compared with the marked weakness of Spanish securities. It is also to be observed that weakness in foreign markets is due in part to the dearness of money, and this in turn iE caused by pressure for gold to reinforce the American money market. The United States is still a heavy creditor to- the world, and the continued withdrawing Of these credits while serving to fortify the financial fabric at home, is factor in the weakness of foreign mar kets. Doubtless part of the selling in New Q a n In equalize exchange conditions. That these of- ferings should be so well absorbed is demon stration Of the sound financial conditions exist ing in this country. Evidence to the same ef- feet is given in the of call money, which loaned to-day at per cent although time money continues to be firmly held at per cent. IL is still further significant of the same conli- tion that the stringency Of money abroad should have resulted in declines in the British and wrench Government bonds, while lnpited States fours of 1925 showed a gain to-day Of IF per cent for the registered and 1A per C.aTn for the coupons.
