NEW YORK. April 6.-The conditions
which have prevailed in the stock market
for virtually three weeks were today
abruptly reversed. when the whole railway
list was under severe pressure coincident-
ally with some exceedingly sharp rises in
the Industrial stocks, the local traction is
sues, and others OF the highly speculative
grades Of securities. The weakness in the
railway quarter was unexplained, except by
certain technical conditions in the market,
chief among which was the exceedingly
heavy selling for foreign account, upward
Of $1,000 shares being thus disposed Of
At the opening of business the London
market was shown to be materially de-
pressed, particularly for consols. The ac-
tual news from South Africa was rather
conflicting, but the course of prices in the
London market and the disposition of the
dealings for foreign account here led to the
idea that some grave disaster TO the Brit
ish forces was known in London, which
had not been made public.
The money market was extremely easy,
and the interpretations entertained of late
that tomorIow's bank statement would
make an exceedingly strong showing, were
Reinforced by today's figures of the trans
actions between the banks and the local
Sub-Treasury showing a gain TO the former
of nearly s4OO0.OC0. Few statements of
railway traffic of any Importance were
submitted, and, in fact, aside from the
London selling of railway stocks. there was
little or nothing bearing on that quarter
Of the market.
In contrast with the common weakness
in the railway list a number of exceed
ingly sharp advances were noted In other
quarters of the market. Peoples Gas,
Sugar Refining. and American Tobacco
were conspicuous, although it was the
common opinion that the strength of these
stocks was poor exchange for the heavi-
ness displayed in more substantial secu-
rites. The advance in Peoples Gas
seemed 10 be on buying fer both accounts.
for which the still rather indefinite deal
with the Ogden Gas Company was the
chief explanation. Sugar Refining was eN-
ceedingly active and its advances reflected
the idea, which is attaining greater cred
ence-that in spite Of recent official de-
malls. developments calculated to bring
the long continued trade war 10 conclu-
sion may be expected.
Virtually nothing that was new came to
light bearing upon the strength OF the
local traction issues. The railway list
was not uniformly weak, and a good deal
OF underlying strength was shown in GER
tain stocks in thaS quarter Pennsylvania,
Lake Erie and Western Missouri Pacific
and Rock Island were conspicuous IN re-
spect of stesdiness The declines In the
London listed stocks. as a rule, extended
TO fully one point but on the conclusion
OF the foreign selling rather a steadier
tone developed in which some material re-
cCyeries were scored.

THE LOCAL SECURITY MARKET.
Capital Traction Down to 1O2 Ap-
parentiy on Inside selling.

Capital Traction stock sold as low as
10l "a on the local stock exchange yes
terday and a large block was sold at 49,
These prices are the lowest since the
stock reached this level on its way UP
several weeks ago. The decline in price
from 10 has been steady, though not so
rapid as the advance.
1t was said yesterday on the street that
insiders have furnished much of the stock
recently sold at the declining prices. This
rumOr and the fact that the buying does
not seem TO be of as good a quality as
the selling started the suggestion that the
insiders may have heard something from
Philadelphia adverse 10 the prospects of
the Capital Traction deal. 1t is known,
however, that some Of these same in
siders continue TO advise their friends not
TO sell out their stock.
Mergenthaler continues strong. Sales
were made yesterday at 1874 L. and 1874 "a
and at the close the lowest price at which
ii was offered was 1875. Washington Gas
sold above So fraction There has seemed
to be a very good demand for the stock
around this price recently.
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-04-07

There was little change in yesterdays
stock market from the strength but com
parative quiet that has characterized the
dealings Of the past week. Prices in the
entire list were held up well, and frac-
tional gains were made in a number of the
railway securities. Some Of the special
ties, notably, Sugar, Peoples Gas, and the
fractions securities were advanced quickly
in the morning, and made good net gains
for the day. On the whole there was some
disappointment over the failure Of the
market TO show more buoyancy on the
prospect of fine bank statement today.
The situation, however. is not one on
which TO base bearish arguments. Condl-
tons everywhere are steadily improving
instead of receding from the top OF the
wave" as the pessimists predicted few
months ago. Earnings are immense both
in the railways and In the industrial COM
panies. The big alliances of the railway
magnates and the great demand for Amer
lean manufactures abroad make the best
OF promise that these fine earnings viii
continue. and increase during the coming
year. Prices, although they have advanced
well during the past two months. are still
far below the best levels OF last year in
the majority of stocks, and this. when
dividends have been increased and larger
and larger SURPRISES are being laid aside
for future dividends.
