MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks.

New York, April GA nervous and fc-
verish tone developer in today's stock
market. principally the result of the
extraordinary movement in International
Power with several contributory causes
including n stineni1g in the money rate,
the uncertainty incident to preparations
for May disbursements over the outcome
of the anthracite labor conference and
renewed reports of the need of rain in the
Southwest.
The opening in international Power
was at 1877. a decline of a point from yes
terday's close. The stock recovered this
point and then slumped by successive
stages of from l 10 points to 49, 1t
then rallied 20 points. jumping as much
as points between sales and fell back
again to l62. Apparently no bids could
then be secured for the stock and ii wa.
neglected for an hour until just before
the close when a sale was effected at 10
The days net decline is thus made Is
points. Yesterday, the stock seld at 1879,
which was the record price. The COM
pany could give 70 ineligible explana-
ton of today's happenings beyond the
fact, which was sufficiently obvious that
supporting orders had been Withdrawn.
This move necessarily had some senti-
mental influence on the rest of the mar
ket and naturally il was most pronounced
in Industrial specialties, especially in
those regarding which little definite in
formation is know'I The higher grace
industrials Were not much affected.
although the Unite d States Steel stocks
coullnueu tHtttNS. -AlldissinlIt'U ana ST.
gar were higher, the latter rising points
at one time.
The effect Of attempts to make the
stocks which were previously manipulat-
ed was seen in the 6-point drop in North
western, l3 in Chicago. St. Paul, Mime
apolis < Omaha preferred and ~ in Keo-
kuk q Des Moines. There can be no
doubt that yesterdays action by the
clearing house authorities was regarded
as an admonition against the rate OF
credit expansion and the character of
some OF the promotions which have been
furthercd by some Of the trust companies
The bond market was active and prices
were lower in sympathy with stocks. To-
tai sales, par value, S3,S00,V1. United
