DAY OF CONTEST
 IN WALL STREET Reaction Finally Prevailed and
 Market Closed Weak. BEAR CLIQUE AGGRESSIVE
Another Rise in Sterling Exchange to Within Fraction of Gold Export Point Led to Discussion
 ward Movement

New York, April Achievement of prices in today's stock market largely represent a contest of speculative forces for suprem- acy. The forces of reaction finally pre- Vailed and the market closed decidedly weak and at a level general below last nights close. This result was achieved after many yicissitudes and extreme ir- regularity; but the mere fact of the pres ence of an aggressive bear clique in the market served as detriment to the buy ing demand from outsiders, which has constituted the underlying strength of the market Commission houses report a large falling off in orders, which have made the market open for many days with rush to buy and which served to conveniently absorb the proft-tahing sales of the pro- fessional element.
 A further rise in sterling exchange to within fraction of the gold export point, led to a discussion of the prospect of an outward movement of gold. The continued ease of money here was favorable to such a movement but the taking up of the in stallment of the British loan which stiff may be followed by a relaxation in money - IdteS there ana SyInpaIHetlc response in sterling exchange here.
 The bond market was moderately active and price changes were irregular. Total sales par value, $2,200,000. United States new As declined E and the old As advanced 7s and the 5's # in the bid price.

THE COLOMBIA TROUBLE Recent Action of Nicaragua Ftlibusters
 May Result Seriously

Washington. April 1o.-Reports received here have indicated that trouble was brew ing in Colombia for some time past, and there have been frequent rumors of the intention of Nicaraguans to attack Costa Rica. It would not surprise officials here if the recent action of Nicaraguan filibus- ters in landing on the isthmus should re- suit in involving at least three of the Gen. tral American republics in difficulties. It appears that the Nicaraguans have already made a landing on the Pacific side Of. .the isthmus and the party made its way to place named David, near the boundary lino between Costa Rica and Colombia and within the lines of the tract of territory claimed by both nations. It is not clear whether the movement is directed against Nicaragua or Costa Rica. The govern ment of Colombia has taken steps to send q force against the filibusters, assuming that they are on Colombian soil, and it is possible that the government of Costa Rica will do likewise In that case there may be complications
 Meanwhile the cruiser Detroit has gone into the Gulf of Chirikui on the Gulf side, but the nearest port of access to David, to safeguard American interests.

COTTON FUTURES
 WERE INACTIVE They Were Restrained By Fear
 of Manipulation.
 MARKET OPENED STEADY Rally Near Midday Carried Prices Up
Rally Near Midday Carried Prices Up ward 10 Points on the More Active Positions Resulting From
 Wall Street Buying

New York, April 1o-Speculation in cot lon futures continued to be restrained by fear of manipulation. The uncertainty of investors was intensified today by lack of knowledge concerning the acreage, and an absence of reliable data bearing on the Texas flood situation. The market opened steady, with prices to points lower, the English market having gone off quite sharply under liquidation and reports from this side that the floods in the southwest were creating little damage to bottom cot ton lands. Following the call our market showed more or less irregularity, and slowly sagged under scattering sales for both accounts. But a rally near midday carried prices upward 10 points on the more active positions, the advance result ing from a squirt of Wall street buying With this demand satisfied, however, there was another relapse under local selling, and an almost total absence of buyers Advances from southern spot markets were conflicting. The late advances from the crop center indicates no immediate prospect of material reduction in receipts. The market here closed quiet and steady, with prices ? points higher to points lower.
