Ne5U York Stock Market.

NEW YORK. April 19.-The belief that ac-
tivity awaited on the decision Of the Harri-
man petition TO enJoin the Northern Securities
plan Of distribution proved true to-day when
the petition refused but II did not appear
that the decision itself was the cause OF the
increased pressure 10 sell stocks which devel-
oped ard which caused a sharp reaction in
the whole market. The first effect of the
decision was to halt the advance in prices
which was then In progress. but the highest
prices Of the day were touched afterward, and
when the decline renewed a period of dull
ness intervened which was more marked than
At any time during the recent dull period.
The decline centered in United States Steel
preferred and was unexplained by any news
before the market closed. Authoritative in
timations were given that the contest against
the Northern Securities distribution viii be
continued in other courts, thus depriving the
market Of the assurance that Ahis disturbing
factor is removed by the decision at St. Paul.
The tone Of the decision was interpreted
expression OF opinion against the plausibility
and strength OF the Union Pacific contention.
This opinion was OF disadvantage TO Union
Pacific and caused selling by speculative hold
ers who have counted on the value TO Union
Pacific Of the projected control Of Northern
Pacific and burlington. Northern Securities
on the curb advanced \ on the decision but
lost Il all in the subsequent reaction. The
market closed heavy at the rally. Many mil
lions were loaned call at 4 per cent and
interest rates receded for all sales of loans.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

Receipts of Butter were the largest for a
long time as will be seen, and the market
continued weak, with dealers ready to make
concessions TO close and large buyers. There
was no actual decline. however Cheese con-
tinued in excessive supply and dull at un-
changed quotations.
The feeling in ranch Eggs remained as be-
fore stated. Some receivers were disposed TO
get advance, but the majority OF the large
handlers quoted the market precisely as before
Receipts were about 25O cases larger than on
the preceding day, but the general tone of the
market was firm. Store Eggs showed wider
range, extra good lots bringing much as
fair ranch and poor lots going as low as loe.

The feature of the market at present is the
weakness in Prunes. which have recently de-
clined materially both here and in the East.
Holders are letting go at concessions from even
the low quotations and the situation is very
unsatisfactory. Raisins are still unsettled and
the packers nave lately shown signs of selling
at decline from the established quotations to
get back their money. but there a report

twenty two chests of the larger varieties
from Watsonville. The receipts included some
very poor lots which were hard to dispose of
even at the minimum quotations. while choice
offerings met with prompt sale at full figures.
Trade in the Orange market was of a light
jobbing character. as local buyers were DIS
eOuraged by the inclement weather and We're
taking no more than absolutely necessary to
supply their regular trade. Prices were un-
changed and poor quality fruit which consti-
tuted the bulk of the supplies: was being offer
ed freely at liberal concessions. Tangerines
were offering again and sold at T5cd$1 per
small box. Lemons and Lines quoted
