New York. May 3-The stock market
moved in an uncertain manner to-day and
left off generally tower. with the decrease
most accentuated in the Coalers, Conson-
| dated Gas, Sugar and American Spirits
| Commission house business was small. and
London and a number Of professionals
realized profits on stocks bought at the
! .ow figure yesterday, Much Of the buying
! appeared 10 be covering OF shorts. The
| early trading continued he strength of
| yesterdays closing, but realizing and sales
| on the theory that the recovery had been
| too rapid took the snap out OF the market.
The weakness of the coalers was on
| heavy sales by a prom neut holder who
had been carrying a long line of these
! properties Disappointment was expressed
in some quarters that no announcement
! was forthcoming concerning a coal deaf
now that the New Jersey legislature has
been adjourned for some time. The Steel
aud Wire stocks displayed frmness, on The
belief that negotiations were pending TO
| consolidate a number of these properties.
| Although nothing positive as to the de-
! calls could be learned it was said that a
capitalization Of over $500 100000 was con-
| iemglated
The application OF American Steel and
Wire to be listed by the exchange, to-
| gether with dividend gossip, was an aid
to that stock Brooklyn Rapid Transit
| huctuated widely and closed with over /
| point advance Peoples Gas and Pacific
Mall were also strong. The general rail-
way Est was fractlonaily lower.
| Consolidated Gas recovered somewhat on
covering, but on the increased cutting of
gas prices again broke several points ana
closed nearly off on the day The ar
rangement to retire the first preferred
stock Of Minneapolis and St. Louis caused
! rise of over 4 points in the second pre-
| ferred.
The closing of pool accounts In Ameri-
can Spirits and Sugar was said to account
| for the weakness in these properties. The
market closed weak.
Most of the prominent bond issues scored
! improvements to-day with the advances
| quite marked In some cases. Total sales,
81, 10000. United States IS coupon and the
new As coupon advanced u in the bid price.
The total sales Of stocks were SIS 100
! shares, including Aiehison preferred, 10.
