New York, April G,-Stocks opened up
this morning, and after moderate nuctua-
tons either way, siid off below yesterdays
| prices. There were advices of crop dam
age, sterling exchange was strong al high
| er figures, and call money was at the legal
| rate, per cent, in the afternoon, all Of
| which combined to send prices off with a
rush and the market closed weak under
pressure.
The demand for money was Incidental
10 the preparations of corporations to meet
| May disbursements and then there was a
| disposition among traders to anticipate a
| possible squeeze in call money tomorrow
| when loans carry over to Monday There
was moderate arbitrage buying for Lon
| don account early, and the traders also
were prominent buyers, but the diminish
| ing commission house business prompted
them to switch their position and sell for
a turn. The trading in 100000 shares was
| practically all for professional operators.
| Silver certificates, representing 100 900
ounces. changed hands at from 63A to

impending labor difficulties.
| The heaviness of the market was accent
uaied by free selling Of Brooklyn Transit
! and Sugar, although an earlier rise In SUI
| gar was on an intangible rumor that the
