Violent Break In U. F. Regarded ns Due
 tn a Raid.
 New York. April 13.-The dull and un- certain stock market of to-day was the natural outcome of the course of the previous market The rather violent break in Union Pacific with which the market closed yesterday was regarded to-day as due to a raid. The more care full consideration of the part taken by the attorney general in the Northern Securities proceedings at St. Paul modi- fed the first impression that the gov ernment was opposing itself on prinai- pie to the Union Pacific's effort to re- cover it's former holdings of Northern Pacific But the action of the stock yes- terday on that supposition caused a deeply grounded impression that the re- cent mysterious accumulation Of Union Pacific is based on the hope of advant- age to the stock from the ends sought in the suit. The uncertainty thus caus- ed and reflected in the hesitating fiuc- tuations in Union Pacific unsettled the whole market. To add to the hesita- tion, reports were circulated of the for nation of a formidable party for a bear campaign. which had been selling its holdings and putting out short lines at the high level in preparation for an on slaught upon values. The effect of these reports was to intinnidate traders from attempting to advance prices or from buying stocks. The influence of foreign markets was also on the side of reaction. The cancellation of an option on 67,000 tons of pig iron by the United States Steel corporation was not of re- assuring effect or sentiment regarding the iron and steel trade. Renewed strength in the wheat market pointed to yesterdays weakness as due to profit-taking on the government report On the other hand. reports were cur- rent of a large export of steel products for March. and the very cheerful view Of the trade outlook expressed by the Iron Age and published near the close had an important influence in ralllng the market. So did the increase in the dividend on Reading 2d pf., which gave point to the reports of large accumula- tions of anthracite at the reduced price schedule The failure of the threaten ed bear demonstration to appear 1 prompted some covering of shorts by room traders and the closing was firm. The dullness of the trading was prac- tically unrelieved to the close.
