COMMERCIAL
AND FINANCIAL
The Usual Casting Down of Hope in
the Stock Market.

New York, April 30.-Some hopes
We're entertained that yesterdays stock
market was a preliminary to a better
movement of prices today owing to the
fact that the professional traders had
refrained from taking their profits on
the days rise before going home, but
the first half hour Of the days market
demonstrated that the operation had
been simply deferred. The effort of the
professionals to take their profits made
manifest that there was no absorbent
power in the market. so that prices fell
weakly back and showed no recupera-
ton for the rest of the day.
