Effective Response to the Measures of
 Support.


 New York, April 2O.-The effective response of to-day's stock market to the measures of support accorded it awakened the hope that forced liquida- tion on account of the California ca- lamity was about concluded for the present at least. An effort to support prices it was believed would have been taken advantage of for large and con- tinued liquidation and actual necessi- ty existed. The fact that the selling pressure relaxed when the declining tendency of prices was arrested indi- cated that the liquidation was running into the hands of those prompted by ap- prehension of the fall in prices rather than by necessity of realizing money resources. The belief that this condi- tion had been reached was palpable relief to the acute depression of snti- ment which weighed on the situation yesterday, A potent factor tq the same end was the grateful news from San Francisco that the course of the de- stroying fire was arrested at last The measures for support were especially vigorous in Union Pacific with good eff feet upon the whole market. When the decline in prices was f2irly checked and recovery to about last nights level had followed, the character of the buy 1 ing became more conservative and the volume of the dealings diminished con- siderably from the rate of activity ever since the first news of the earthquake was received The money market hard ened decidedly both for call and time 1 loans but the recovery in the stock market continued in spite of this devel- opment. The prospect of very strong bank statement played part in ] this indifference to the action of the money market, The market for foreign exchange was practically demoralized 1 and the violent down plunge in the rate gave assurance of large additional gold imports, $6,250,OOO being announced be- l fore the close. The principal factor in l the break in the exchange market was believed to be the obligations created against foreign fire insurance com panies by claims for losses in Califor- nia The large gold engagements i'm duced 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.
 Bonds were heavy Total sales par value, $2 920000,
 United States bonds were all un- changed on call.
