New York, April l5.-The stock
market was feverish and unsettled
again during the morning as an after
effect Of the previous days shaking
down. Influential support, however,
was accorded at the start and the
heavy offerings of stocks were alb
sorbed and prices bid up determinedly
as often as they fell. This had the
effect of restoring confidence and
checking the food of liquidation
The market was much steadier in
the second hour when prices for lead
ing native stocks, such as Pennsyl-
vania. New York Central, Baltimore
and Ohio, Reading, st. Paul and
Union Pacific were point or more

Securities on the curb opened at 81,
advanced to 97a and then reapsed
to 95A on light sales.
A recovery of Northern Securities
on the curb to above the opening level
helped to reassure sentiment on the
Stock Exchange and the market be-
came quiet and dull. but decidedly
firm The level of prices for the major
ity of active stocks ruled between /
and 2 points above the previous night.
The bear party was inclined to cover
and caused a hardening tendency OF
the market, but the volume OF dealings
was much diminished on the advance

RUMoR OFFICIALLY DENIED.
Story Current That Securities Case
Would Not Be Appealed.

New York, April 15-Just before
the close of the stock market reports
were current that the Northern Sc
curities company had decided not to
appeal from the merger decision and
would abandon that plan for one Of
several others. A representative of
the company in position to speak
with authority declared that the re-
port was absolutely false He added
that no plan of action had yet been
determined upon and might not be for
some time.
Another report circulated just be-
fore the closing hours of the Stock Ex-
change was that steps were being
taken to compromise the Northern Sc.
curities case in some way Just how
this was to be done was not brought
out. This report, apparently, was
without authority.
Another rumOr was to the effect
that steps were being taken to dissolve
the Northern Securities company and
that the Great Northern would be
managed in some way as an independ
ent organization. OF this rumor
President James J. Hill said:
There's not word of truth in that
story. There is no intention on the
part of the Northern Securities people
to dissolve the company On the con
