ANOTHER FLUTTER IN STOCK MARKET News Did Not Justify the
 Activity LEGAL POINT IS DISCUSSED Doubt Is Expressed as to Right of Union Pacific to Hold Northern securit es or Great North
 ern Stocks.
LEGAL POINT IS DISCUSSED

New York, April 19.-Speculative sen- timent on the stock exchange turned again today on technical market condi- tons rather than on intrinsic conditions of values and the news bearing on them There was another fiutter among specu- lators in stocks caused by the renewed slump in Northern securities on the curb
 That stock did not touch yesterday s low price, however, and its downward course was effectually checked and a substantial recovery effected with cor responding effect on the market for stocks within the stock exchange. The implica- tions drawn from the movements had to do largely with the market position of the large speculation committed to the high prices for the stocks; but the causes for the1r advances have been purely within the realm of rumor and a great deal of doubt and apprehension of the reliabil- ity of these rumors is induced by the feverish downward plunges in the stocks. The impenetrable mystery which has been maintained regarding the great pro- jects and to be in contemplation in the railroad world lends itself to sudden fears as well as buoyant hopes and to R sudden reversal from extreme confi- dence to full rejection to all flying re- ports.
 This was seen in the tendency of the current stock market rumors to face about from faith in the wholesale har- mony in the competing railroad interest to fears of a renewed outbreak of all the old hostility of the period before the Northern securities formation. For in- stance doubt were urged of the legal right of Union Pacific to hold Northern securities or Great Northern stocks which come to 1t as the proceeds of the North ern- securities dissolution. The opinion of the supreme court, pronounced incidental ly in the Northern security decision that the turning over of control of the Northern Pacific to Union Pacific would contravene the Sherman law, was cited a. authority for this view. Alleged in- tention to preclude minority representa- tion from the directorate of two rail- reads was also discussed. With these sug- gestions of hostility rather than harmony prevailing in the railroad world, the so-called mystery stocks" in the market suffered most acutely from the liquida- tion, but rallied effectualy on the late renewal of harmony reports There were no dealings in Northern Pacifis but nom inal quotations were made for the stocks "when released" and the bid and asked prices thus made showed the prices range well sustained near the recent high level.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-04-20

Great Northern sold down to 1912 and ral- lied 5. This relieved some apprehension that the stocks were likely to slump when the redistribution replenished the supply in the market. It was evident also that many of the brokers and com mission houses which were the largest sellers during the heavy decline yesterday were busy buying to recover their hold ings. The persistence of this demand helped to restore confidence and developed the strength of the latter part of the day. The aggressive rise in the south ern group aroused some new conjectures O. important finacing projects. The prom ise of a record April tonnage of anthra- ct2. helped the coalers. Amalgamated copper moved up in connection with spec uative rumors regarding tomorrows div idend meeting. Reports of the receipt of heavy orders strengthened American To- comotive. United States steel preferred, responded on the recovery to confidence in conditions in that trade. Reports that the stock tax bill was not to become a law of the state was made effective upon sentiment. Traders who fought the rally by selling stock short were forced to cover at the last and made the closing the strongest of the day.
 Bonds were irregular; total sales par values s3,410000.
 United States bonds were all unchanged on call.

OPENED AT A DECLINE

New York, April 19.-The cotton market after some irregularity al the opening was generally easier under liquidation and bear pressure, based on reports of easier spot markets and continued talk of little if any reduction in acreage. The opening was steady at a decline of 1d3 points, which was better than due on the disap- pointing cables and at first covering by nearby shorts rendered uneasy by reports of unsettled weather In the southwest and in priparation for the end week holi- days. advanced the nearby months to about last nights finals. But there was quite a severe selling of new positions by the south and Wall street, and the whole list soon turned easier, with prices in the early afternoon to s points net lower. Following this, business was very quiet, and fluctuations narrow and irreg- ular. The close was steady in tone but within a point or two of the lowest at a net decline of 1@S points. Sales were es- timated at 100000 bales Southern spot markets were officially reported un- changed to 1-16c lower receipts larger and exports moderate.
 Receipts at the ports today, 3l,57s bales, against 23,950 last week and 6SOs last year. For the week, estimated 10000 bales against ITO, S66 last week, and 56,401 last year Today's receipts at New Orleans, 9906 bales, against 429S last year, and at Houston, 931 bales against 12S1 last year.

ware & Leland,s Market Letter.

The small spot business being done in Liverpool has had a quietin@ effect on options Cables ascribed their poor mar ket to the selling of importers, but in some instances held favorable opinions of the market in the long run. Options and spots closed two points down, with sales of 1000 bales of the latter.
 Our market opened slightly lower in sympathy with Liverpool, and after hold ing fairly steady for a while experienced further decline of a few points without any special pressure. The daily port re- ceipts, semi-weekly movement figures and estimated receipts for New Orleans, Galveston and Houston were about in line with all recent statistics in eonnec- tion with the old crop, as against which the inqury for spot cotton was slightly improved Weather conditions do not ap- pear perfect in all sections, as some heavy rains ssm noted, but forecasts in- dicate the l@eupitations are assuming the magniture % April showers only.
