NEW YORK. April i6-In the absence
Of any unfavorable dcvrL0l :arl,s over the
holidays. and. furthcr, IL glow Of he very
strong showing made by The banks il their
statement on Saturday 1T v4s not easy to
assign definite reasons Tor the days rath
er unsettled stock market.
At the opening OF business to be sure,
slight advances were common throughout
the list, but almost Immediately heavy
pressure developed under which general
reaction took place ana ia some instances
material losses were scored. Liquidation
was manifested in the case Of all the So
called steel industrials. Federal Steel.
Steel Hoop, National steel and American
Steel and Wire all broke sharply. although
there was nothing whatever definite in
the way of news or even gossip attending
their course.
1t was matter Of comment that houses
supposed 10 act for western capitalists
and operators were heavy sellers Of all
these stocks. but as lie from that circum
stance their special weakness could not
be readily explained. The break in these
stocks probably received some influence in
unsettling the remainder o. the market.
The railway list, however. was not by any
means uniformly weak. All Of the So
called Gould stocks were notably strong,
and substantial advances were scored in
Lake Erie and Weston, Norfolk and
Western. and Kansas and Texas preferred.
Aside from these ana q few other in
stances, however, the uarl,et had de-
cidedly sagging tendency, and in many
cases losses running up to one point and
over were noted in the railway list. Moth
ing of particular interest developed in re-
gard 10 the dealings il that quarter of
the market. The London market contin-
ued closed TO-DAY over me Easter holidays.
so no influence was exsrted from that
quarter. The day was herwse quite
bare Of actual news and there were no
developments of any consequence aside
from the traffic returns submitted. As
was to be expected after the bank state
ment of Saturday. the money market was
extremely easy. Sterling exchange con-
tinued firm and further rumors of coming
expectations of gold were in circulation in
connection with the weakness of the stock
market
