Wall Street Review.

New York, April le.-Business on the Stock
exchange today lapsed into a condition Of dull.
ness and abandonment to the operations OF small
professional traders. Much angry recrininati IN
continues to be heard on all sides concerning the
bear raid on the iron and steel stocks. Not only
in the stock market but in the iron trade as we'll
accusations OF bad faith and double dealing are
banded about. All other authorities in the
trade disagree with the views of Chairman Gates,
Of the American Steel and Wire company. but the
Iron Age says in its review of the subject. No
sharp tumble in values is expected unless this
development in the wire trade should produce
such an effect" 1t is the reservation thus OK
pressed that has so effectually upset the specu-
lative world Dealers in securities kept one eye
on the iron and steel stocks all day and the
cratic and irregular movements in that group
kept the whole market in a feverish and un-
certain state. When pressure there was relaxed
there was a disposition manifest TO mark up
prices elsewhere, but the burden of selling met
on the advance gave an appearance OF desire
to realize on an extensive scale, and took the
snap out of the market. On the other hand the
majority of stocks offered decreased materially
on any considerable decline giving an under
tone Of frmness to prices Notable strength
was shown at one time by the Baltimore and
Ohio stocks and southern Pacific suffered from
decided weakness The one movement had about
as much effect on the general list as the other.
The sharp advance in metals which followed the
declines after the opening was accompanied by
a rise late in the day to the best prices. But
when these stocks and sugars gave way the
whole list followed and the closing was activei
