NEW York STOCKS AND BONDS.
speculative Interest Drops on and
Prices Irregular and Confused.

NEW YORK, April 2e.-The movement of
prices was confused and irregular all of
today and there was evidence OF a dimtn-
ishlng speculative interest. The wide move
ments In high priced stocks continued a
was impaired by some equally notable re-
lapses In stocks where attempts were made
to take profits. 4 case in point was that
which fell violently 9 points on an attempt
to market a small amount of the stock be-
both Pennsylvania and New York Central
authorities of the rumors OF purchase OF
The decrease reported in Reading surplus
earnings for March was an untavorable
influence; The very heavy decreases in
net earnings OF the Southern Railway for
March was certainly not a stimulating in
t%iuence,. although 1t was accounted for
expenses.
The western railroads., on the other hand,
were benefited by the crop news and by
the weekly crop bulletin of the weather
bureau which was considered very favor
able, not only. regarding the condition of
in seeding corn and spring wheat. The
grain carrying railroads also were helped
by the special strength OF the Northwestern
stocks, which rose l01s and so, respectively.
Rock Island gained an extreme 53ss but
Wabash stocks and of the Wheeling &
Lake Erie stocks was evidently due to the
apparent certainty that the bid of the syn
the Western Maryland will be accepted.
The industrials were marked by quite as
great HT6kuldIlty as the TdllIOduS ana
changes there were constant and variable.
A further advance in the foreign eX-
change market and a drop in the rate of
sterling at Paris both contributed to mar
row the margin still remaining from the
gold export point.
The money market, however, was still
undisturbed. Much attention was at
tracted by action OF the clearing house au-
thorities requiring that institutions which
shall be admitted hereafter to the privilege
of clearing through members must first be
established for a year, and must maintain
I'm their own vaults the same percentage
Of cash reserves as required of the mem
bers themselves. They will be required
also TO furnish weekly statements of aver
ages for publication. This action is calcu-
lated to put a restraint upon the multiple
cation of trust companies. 1t is carefully
explained that the requirements are not
retroactive, which is to say that they do
not at all apply to the condition of the
trust companies which at present enjoy
the privileges of the clearing house, al
though that condition has been the sub
ject lately of much comment and criticism,
owing to the freedom of the trust COM
panies from any requirement of publicity
as to their loans and reserves.
The bond market maintained a firm tone
today. Total sales, par value, 49, O,OOO.
United States bonds were all unchanged on
the last call.

liberal offerings the tendency was of course

The big bulk of the receipts this morning
was made up of beef steers and the quality
was fully as good as II has been of late.
Packers were all rather bearish in their
views, so that 1t was late before many
cattle had changed hands. In many cases
buyers were bidding a good deal lower
than they were yesterday, but as a gem

grades. The very best cattle, such as sold
from 1915 to $3.50. were very little If any
lower than they were yesterday, but when
II came to such kinds as sell from 81. 70
down the market was undoubtedly lower.
