New York. April 19.-There Is a certain
contingent of stock exchange spectators
who base their venture for the day on the
tendency OF prices displayed at the i'm
mediate opening of the market.
| To-day's initial trading gave promise of
| an active and strong market and these
symptoms accordingly induced some out
side orders but there was a development
of weakness In the afternoon. The early
| demand was stimulated by the decided
| strength displayed by the Granger group,
| which WAS helped by reputed more favor
able climatic conditions In the wheat belt
and an encouraging statement by the gov
! eminent Of the general crop conditions.
| These circums ances caused a relapse in
wheat prices which were also influenced
| by heavlness in Liverpool.
Interest ran mainly to railway stocks
and some of the inactive issues became
prominent, particularly Great Northern
preferred st. Paul and Duluth, Wheeling
and Lake Erie
1t must not be inferred that there was
an entire abandonment Of professional
operations in the specialties as these
properties were utilized at times as lever
to enhance or depress values of other
shares. In fact, the afternoons weak
ness could not be directly traceable to
brisk selling movement in the high priced
specialties which received momentum sub
| sequently through liberal offerings Of the
Changers on late reports Of crop damage.
This statement was c6iored to some ex-
tent by a sharp rise in wheat with the
shorts covering heavily.
The late break entirely eradicated the
gains In the railways and put many of the
specialties considerably below last nights
close. Brooklyn Transit, Manhattan and
| Tennessee Coal and Iron yielded the most
readily. Pronounced strength was dis
played in Colorado Fuel and Iron shares,
which retained advances of over points
in the common and preferred on rumors
of impending favorable departments. Eff
forts to harmonic the conflicting Interests
IN the anthracite coal trade and the adopt
ion Of q schedule Of prices for the spring
caused sharp advances In these stocks
which moved counter to the general mar
ket at the close.
The market ended irregular with the
railway list little changed. Good sup
port was extended to the bond market and
some substantial gains occurred on an ac-
tive demand Total sales $14O.OOO United
States 3s coupon, new IS registered, and
