NEW YORK. April S.-The stock mar
ket opened with the dealings in light
volume and showing declines OF from
i 10 3 per cent in comparison with yes
terday's final prices. There were some
exceptions to the general course of
prices. conspicuous examples being
the United States Steel shares. Sugar
Refining, AID United States Leather. IN
the railway list the active features were
Southern Pacific, Union Pacific St. Paul
Pennsylvania, New York Central. and
Erie. The last named opened this morn
ing eX-rights. but still above its last
sale Of yesterday. The London stock
market was generally strong under the
influence of a further advance in consoIs,
and American stocks participated in the
improvement there. The dealings here
for foreign account were. however. on
an unimpoTtant scale Copper securities
were exceptionally weak in London and
in the local market . good deal of pres
sure was evident in the instance Of
Amalgamated Copper
The steadiness OF the United States
Steel shares doubtless resulted from
closer scrutiny of The company's annual
statement submitted after the close of
business yesterday. There was other
wise very little news overnight, and
little interest was taken in the Southern
Pacific meeting to be held ia kentucky
today The position of the pool in
Southern Pacific continued. however. the
subject OF active discussion. and it was
believed that the greater part of the
more urgent liquidation in the market
came from the necessities OF partici-

Because the stockholders have agreed
to postpone their fight for control OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company IN
til after appeal proceedings in the suit
brought by Talbot J. Taylor & Co. have
been settled. the annual meeting of the
stockholders scheduled for today at
Beechmont, KY, was merely formal
matter. AS Taylor & Co. say they do
not intend to renew the James r. Keene
Southern Pacific pool, which expires by
limitation on Friday, it Is believed in
Wall Street that Mr. Keene will continue
the fight on his own hook Some per-
sons believe as soon as Mr.. Keene re
allied he could not get a favorable de-
eision from Judge Lurton. he was not
aYerse TO taking advantage OF drop
in the prize OF Southern Pacific, which
he was in a position to foTesee- But it
Is conceded that there IS but one man
who knows whether or not Mr.. Keene
lost or made money by the fight so far.
and that man is Keene himself.

tive clue 10 the backing OF the enter
prise, but rumor has 1t that the Armour
and Swift interests are behind the new
corporation. When the National Biscuit
Company was organized ia 1898, it began
TO absorb the principal cracker COM
panies in the East. The Incorporation pa
perg Of the United States Biscuit Com

deal OF use was made of some advance
information on this point by the bear
element late yesterday, but it turns out
that the company attributes this de-
crease largely TO the congestion Of
freight It shows it has the largest
amount OF orders on its books in its his
tory, and its first annual report which
1t was decided to give out last night
very clearly shows the continuance of
the company's prosperity.

one feature OF yesterday EdIhtL
which excited much comment and was
not liked IVES the appearance OF liqutda-
ton in such high grade stocks as Della
ware and Lackawanna and Northwest
ern There was also some pressure to
sell Bank Of Commerce stock. It was
recalled there had been similar liqui-
datfon in Western Union about week
ago and the conclusion arrived at was
that parties who were heavily committed
in the way Of syndieates were obliged
TO sell good stocks In order to protect
their unstable securities.
The break in call money yesterday was
forced on the banks by competition and
shows the tendency of money to ease.
It IS said the Hartman interests have
been purchasing Southern Pacific stock
thrown over by members OF the Keene
pool The fact that Southern Pacific Is
now selling only 81 per share above the
average price which the Union Pacific
paid for SEQ 600 shares lends color to the
story and would seem to be a warning
against too much bearishness on South
ern Pacific.
