THE STOCK MARKET.

|
New York, April 17.-The published
opinions and assertions Of j. w. Gates,
| chairman of the American Steel and
Wire company, regarding present condi-
lions and the outlook for the future in
the iron and steel trade, occupied the
| attention Of dealers in stocks and bonds
to-day to the almost total exclusion Of
all other matters. Decentralization and
, confusion were the results.
| When the urgent demand for the iron
4, and steel stocks was perceived imme-
diately after the opening drop in them,
there was feeling of relief reflected
in lively recovery of prices all around.
The first Interpretation Of the buying
was that 1t contradicted the gloomy as
sertions of the chairman of the steel
and wire company. Later the convic-
tlon seemed to gather force that this
buying might simply represent the TAX
| ing Of inviting and assured profits by
the bears who had sold In anticipation
of the recent heavy declines in these
stocks. The assertions Of Chairman
| Gates of over-production in the trade
| and the necessity for concessions in
prices were met by chorus of denials
I by representatives of other companies
! in the metal industries and by authors
| ties In the trade. The reinsurance de-
rived from this source had much to do
with the general rally after the open
! ing, but 1t was not sufficient to allay
all doubts caused by the concerto fact
of the closing down of a large number
of the mills of the steel and wire com
pany.
The belief Is deep rooted among stock
operators that the iron trade Is true
index Of the business of the country,
| The doubt cast upon Its soundness by
Mr.. Gates proved too much for the
equanamity of holders Of stocks and
towards the latter part of the day Sc
curities were thrown upon the market
by wholesale. Stocks which have been
speculative favortes for a rise We're not
the chief sufferers. Missouri Pacific,
Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and
Ohio were comparatively well held,
while the higher priced stocks showed
larger declines. A late rally In the mar
llet made 1t evident that short selling
had helped the losses, recoveries reach
Ing to over a point in many cases,
while the Iron and Steel stocks closed
1 to points above last nights level
for the leading members of the group
The general news of the day and money
market conditions were entirely ignored
in the trading. w W.T.
There was no such pressure manifest
| in bonds as in the stock market, and
strong points were, manifest here and
there. Total sales, par value, $2,4OO, 900
United States old tours declined 1-8

PRINCE & WHITELY's REVIEW OF
THE STOCK MARKET.

London advices yesterday morning
were rather negative in tenor on price
Our securities there were offered by
the action of the Steel stocks here,
while their home properties were
strong. This was the case on the COM
tinental bourses, in other words Europe
again begins to doubt the honesty Of
the management Of our enterprises and
perhaps may try to get out of what
purchases they lately have made. Our
market opened with many misgivings
after Mondays developments in the
steel stocks and at declines ranging
between " and per cent, which latter,
however, were recovered after the first
hour of the session with the general
sentiment much improved. The air,
however, was not clear yet and the ball
of distrust and disgust which was start
ed rolling Monday against was set in
motion and through attacks on the
whole list, but particularly on the in
dustrials and so-called trusts, values
receded materially even for the better
class of railway, good news was entire
" ignored, and there was some which
had it not been for the demoralized
sentiment would have been quite a fac
tor in values. Archer Brown, one Of
the best informed iron men in the
country, contradicts fatty the state
ments Of the president of the American
Steel Wire company as to the condition
of the trade in this branch generally,
and 1t would not surprise us to see the
steel properties in the van of a better
market, which under ordinary condi-
lions must ensue in the not distant flu
ture. London in her late trading was
firm and on the curb closed at about
the best prices of the day. Money re-
manned unchanged. Foreign exchange on
changed while foreign exchange on
light offerings was a trifie steadier with
actual rates at >483b and 4871@@&. A
telegram from Pittsburg states that
last Tuesday broke another record in
that they moved 1000 cars of structural
iron and steel irrespective of coal, coke
and other freight Cotton would have
gone higher but was bearing the brunt
of the temporary decentralization in
stocks and under considerable realiza-
ton declined nearly ten points from
yesterdays close. The trading element
to the stock market evinced great
eagerness to cover shorts and the offer
fngs being but small prices rallied from
to per cent. in the steel properties,
and about l per cent. in the railway, in
fact some of the latter closed higher
than on Monday.
