Considerable UnsettIement Manifest.

Considerable UnsettIement Manifest.
 New York, April 17.-There was con- siderable unsettlement manifest in the stock market to-day, which was partly due to the carrying over of a bad irn- pressior from Saturday, on account of the rather urgent pressure to take prof. it's on the weeks rise. This impression was partly dissipated by the bouyant opening to-day, but the high prices made then invited renewed selling and operators for higher prices. The mar ket for the rest of the day was spotty and irregular. The selling on the open- ing rise was of such volume and char acter as was not to be ignored. It was generally supposed ito be due in part to the necessity Of protective measures in connection with the wheat specula- tion. Iii the wheat market itself the weather news helped to sustain prices, and to that extent relieved apprehen- sion over the immediate situation of the yield. But on the other hand the possibility of damage to the crop by the uIlSGctoUlidHlG " CdL16l IS c1 uiSduNduldSG to values of stocks, and had its part in cooling the demand. The wintry wealth CT carrier its threat of damage to the crops, as we'll as was one of the, ap- preciablc factors in to-day's stock mar ket. Another was the assembling of the senate committee to investigate the problem Of railroad rate legislation. Railroad officials continue to tayk in very confident terms regarding traffic, but their usual weekly interviews were of a more restrained tone than for some time past. The market continued to give the principal attention to the question of the Northern Securities dis tribution, and the readjustments grow ing out of it. While the mandate of the supreme court issued, as was ex- pected, there was still the absolute lack of official announcement or confirma- tion for any of the many stories of deals supposed ito be waiting on this event. The situation proved a strain to speculative confidence, especially in view of the highly concentrated char aeter of much Of the selling of Union Pacific, and the fears aroused as to
 
 Norsaern Securities on the curb react ed with some violence after the open ing and carried depression into other stocks which have moved in sympathy will. them. The strength shown by St. Paul did not serve altogether to offset sLnis influence. The renewed strsnsth in the United States Steel stocks was of more influence and seemed to be due to satisfaction with the proceedings at the annual meeting of the corpora, ,ion. The preferred stock rose eacily to a new record level. The closing tone of the market was heavy and uncertain, as it had been for the most O. the day. :,
