STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. April 5.-The perturbation
reflected yesterday in the stock market,
ON account of Union Pacific's legal fight
20 regain it's former holdings of Northern
Pacific in the dissolution of the Northern
Securities Company, had largely subsidized
today The result showed a speculative
movement of more breadth and more gen
eral indication of interest than for long
time That the operations were largely
those of professional operators IN stocks
was sufficiently indicated by the methodi-
cal manner in which they were conduct
ed. There was less disposition to attrlb-
ute the unexplained buying of Union Pa
ciic to a competition for control, opinion
leaning rather to an accumulation by
powerful capitalists moved more by IN
vestment considerations. Union Paclhc
was conspicuously a1oof from the day $
upward movement, but it had no appear
ance of being in free supply or being
pressed for sale. United States Steel,
preferred, also failed to share fully in the
days strength. There was an enormous
absorption of the second mortgage bonds
on q strongly rising market. The days
news did not seem to play( much part
| in the general movement. Reports OF
rains in the Southwest may have induced
buying of the grain carriers in that sec
ton. The reports of railroad earnings
for the fourth week in March. which
came to hand were distinctly better than
the recent average especially in the
Southern and Southwestern sections.
Prices of copper rose strongly, both here
and abroad and the strong statistical po-
| sition in the trade is much dwelt upon.
The local fractions as group moved up
wards without news The anthracite car
riers were inclined to lag on account OF
the Supreme Court decision requiring the
companies to produce their contracts be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commls
sion. Sterling exchange moved quite de-
lcsively away from the point of proft on
the triangular gold export operation, botl
here and in Paris. The market closed r.
regular and with the effects of realizing
quite evident.

Cotton Letter

Raleigh, NJ c., April Sit was the mar
rowness of the market that caused the
break. There was no change in the po-
siton in any, simply that when those who
bought lower attempted to take profits
there was no buying power to absorb
the stuff. Stop orders were reached and
the market broke easily Receipts were
small enough to put up the prices a
cent and in spite of this prices broke
half a cent. In Liverpool cotton sold
about 1910 at one time for May and June
and 17c for spots and then broke half
cent For some reason people here We're
inclined to let go and to look for break
to buy again. There was very little
short interest and this left the price to
break more readily. The position is SO
strong that no one will sell. Therefore
when profits are taken there are too few
buyers to prevent crash This is why
the average trade takes profits on a good
bulge, and waits for a break to buy again.
The market is narrow. The advance to
1916 was a 70 point rise. No wonder we
had break. We don't look for much
| lower prices as long as receipts are so
| small On such breaks as we had today
cotton should be bought and sold on a
| sharp rise.
! Port receipts today 5000 bales, against
1878 bales last year.

son, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific and
Copper were prominent.
In anticipation of the usual dividend
declaration on Steel Preferred and an
nouncement of which was made after the
close of the market, the stock was heavily
traded and displayed considerable
strength. While the earnings of the Steel
Corporation for the last quarter will
doubtless prove disappointing IT is an adj
mitted fact that the present outlook IN
the steel trade is much brlgher, which
warrants the belief that the regular div
idcnd will be continued, and that the
next quarters eaEnings will show sub
stantial Improvement.
Closing prices were somewhat under the
best, but the declaration of the regular
dividend on Steel preferred will doubt
less stimulate the entire list to increased
activity and higher prices.
Spot sales of cotton in Liverpool to-day
were only 1000 bales, which when taken
in connection with advices from Fall Riv
err that some of the mills are running
on short time and others will follow indi-
cate that spinners cannot afford to buy
cotton at present prices. decline in the
local market today of more than $500 per
bale resulted in small support. ana 1t the
close the market was irregular and ner-
vous with the tone distinctly heavy. Port
receipts today -were estimated at 5000
bales, against 10000 bales last year.
