 Money Market.
MONEY MARKET HARDENS

New York April 2O.-The effective re- sponse. of today's stock market to the measures of support accorded it awakened the hope that necessitous liquidation on account of the California calamity was about concluded for the present at least. An effort to support prices if was be- leved would have been taken advantage of for large and continued liquidation had actual necessity existed The fact that the selling pressure relaxed when the declining tendency of prices was arrested pointed to lthe conclusion that the liquidation was running into the hands of those prompted by, apprehension of the fall in prices rather than by necessity of realizing money resources
 The belief that this condition had been reached was a palpable relief to acute depression of sentiment which weighed on the situation yesterday A potent factor to the same end was the grateful news from San Francisco that the course of the destroying fire was arrested at last. The measure for support was especially vigor- ops in Union Pacific. with good effect upon the whole market. When the de- cline in prices was fairly checked and 8

recovery to about last nights level had followed, the character of the buying be- came more conservative and the volume of the dealings diminished considerably from the rate of activity ever since the first news of the earthquake was re- eelved. The money market hardened de- cidedly, both for call and time loans, but the recovery in. the stock market con- tinued in spite of this development. The ment tomorrow played part in this in- difference to the action of the money market. The market for foreign exchange was practically demoralized, and the vio- lent downward plunge in the rate gave assurance of large additional gold im- ports s6,250s000 being announced before the close.
 The principal factor in the break in the exchange market was believed to be the obligations created against foreign fire Insurance companies by claims for losses In California. No reliable estimate can be had of the extent of these claims or in deedpf the losses in the disaster. But it Is known that a large proportion of the insurance lies with British companies. The shares of these companies have fallen | claims they will have to pay. and liunida : tion in 4he stock market in London is attributed to that source. Tt was claimed that buying of stocks here today was for London account, and was a.factor in the weakness of the exchange market But this claim was regarded as doubtful in view of the relative position of the two markets. Large transfers were made dur ing the day from this city for San Fran cisco account, part of it directly through the sub-treasury to that point, and part or 1t to Chicago, while shipments were made to large amount by express It Is taken for granted that large additional amounts will be sent to the Pacific coast as soon as the state of confusion sub sides to some extent, and the work of restoration begins.
 The onward movement of gold is ex- pected to help offset the special Cali fornia requirements for the present. The banks appear to have gained cash during the week exclusive of today's operations to the amount of about $15, 900, 900, nearly all of which is accounted for by govern ment deposits against engagements of gold for import. small gain from inc interior on the express movement is jn- dicated, but the receipts on balance are smaller than last week. The increased monetary tension also hardened the dhs- count rate in London sharply. The large gold engagements induced renewed buying late in the day. and the highest prices were made in the final hour. Profit taking had a slight effect on the closing tone, which was, however, near the best

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

Liverpool was somewhat affected today by the financial situation but showed some improvement before the close F u- lures there closed steady at a decline of to points on the old and points on the new crop months. Spots were easier and in fair demand Sales amount ing to 12,000 bales al decline of 12 points.
 Our market opened steady and un- changed to 1 point down on the near and points up on tho distant positions As the day progressed an easier tend ency developed in our market by some short selling by the local traders on a favorable weather map but New York steadied, the anxiety of shorts to cover caused an improvement in values. Fu- lures here closed steady at an advance of II to 12 points on the old and 10 10 Il points on the new crop months.
 Spots were officially reported 1-16 lower. Sales 2200 bales all told. We are inclined to think that spinners' stocks are very light as cable adviees reporting S good demand from spnners especially from higher grades, were received by local ex- porters today The good trade demand in evidence all over the world may be depended upon to pull the market through all such periods of temporary depression as that lately witnessed.

terday Spot sales l2,OOo. Bales were more liberal than here of late.
 The early strength in evidence in New orleans was partly due some little buying for outside accounts, probably on the part of those who remained short over night. and partly owing to some sup port by the more prominent bulls. but bear tactics soon thereafter became suf- fciently general to cause a decline which in turn was checked by later reports of heavy rains in Texas.
 The nervousness of the market became apparent in the cratic course pursued by futures in today's trading. The gloom caused by the San Francisco disaster still hangs over the market, but gradual 1y is becoming less as 1t slowly becomes apparent that the industries and finances of the country have not experienced an irreparable loss.
 The generally heavy rains in the west. especially in Texas, have doubtless caused some delay in planting while the quiet ness of the spot market both here and in interior are all influences of import anee in shaping the course Of public opinion, but the thing the present mar ket stands in need of now Is the broad ening out of prices and more interest 1 from the interior.
