easily to a new record level. There

Results of Liquidation
and Bear Pressure.
AND NO BULL SUPPORT
The Net Decline Seven to Ten Points.
Unsettled Feeling in the Stock

Urgent Pressure to Take
Profits.

New York, April 1.-THE cotton
market was generally weak and lower

port. prospects for an improvement in
the weather and continued talk of
lower spot offerings in the South.
The opening was steady at an adj
vance of EOS points in spite of lower

ing due to covering as q result of cold
weather in the belt over Sunday, which
some private adVices claimed had done
damage to the crop. The general i'm
preston appeared to be, however, that
the crop was not sufficiently. forward
to suffer damage from frost, and after

stocks and Bonds.

New York, April 17.-There was
considerable unsettlement manifest in
the stock market today, which was
partly due to the carrying over or
bad impression from Saturday on ac-
count of the rather urgent pressure to
take profits on the weeks rise. This
impression was partly diSSipated by
the buoyant opening this morning but
the high prices made then invited re-
newed selling and served to discour-
age the confidence of operators for
higher prices. The market for the rest
of the day was spotty and regular
Railroad officials continue to talk in
very confident terms regarding traf-
fic but their usual weekly interviews
were of a more restrained tone than
for some time past. There is sufficient
business reported to keep equipment
engaged, but the over-abundance
which caused car shortages early in
the season has passed away. The@mar-
ket continued to give the principal at
tention to the question of the North
ern Securities distribution and the re-
adjustments growing out OF It, Whlle
the mandate of the Supreme court is
sued, as was expected there was still
the absolute lack of official announce
ment or confirmation, for any of the
many stories of deals supposed to be
waiting on this event. The situation
proved a strain to speculative conf
dence, especially in view of the highly
concentrated character of much of the
selling of Union Pacific and the fears
aroused as to what it might imply.
This stock and Northern Securities on
the curb reacted with some violence
after the opening and carried depres-
sion into other stocks which have
moved in sympathy with them The
exceptional strength shown by st,
Paul did not serve altogether to off
set this influence. Neither did the sus-
tanned advance in Atlantic Coast Line.
