NEW YORh STOCK MARKET

New York. April Corporations tOI
the advance were very aggressiVeiy
pursued in the stock market today
and wide additions were made to yes
terday's gains in prices. No change
in codnitions from those Of yester-
day were apparent, beyond the con-
tinuance of the relaxing tendency OF
money. This was, in fact, regarded
as the key note of the situation and
gave the impetus to the movement IN
stocks. The size of individual trans
actions. the congestions of the deal
inGs in a few special stocks and the
sensational movements in such stocks
gave an impression of participation
in the dealings by organizations or
individuals possessed of resources far
beyond the ordinary. The action Of
the market under such forces takes
on a more or less artificial character
and reflects active manipulation as
we'll as genuine marketing Of secuT-
tiles and is, for that reason. viewed
with some suspicion. Enormous Oper-
atoms centered in the Hartman Pa
cities and in Reading, suggesting the
resumption of market operations by
forces which have been %ouiescent in
the trading for a considerable time.
Southern Pacific shared fully in the
movement and was regarded as Civ
ing the motive for it in it's %extraor-
binary showing of net earnings for
February.
The easing of the local money mar
ket has had the effect of checking the
inflow of currency to this center and
New York exchange at Chicago has
fallen back to par. 1t was announced
also hat all OF the gtau engaged in
London last Monday for shipment TO
this point had been resold in that
market. Another helpful factor in
the strength of the market was the
settlement without a strike of the
wage dispute on western railroads.
The large selling to take profits
durin. the day was skilfully conduct
ed, but the market closed irregular
and considerably below the best
prices. Bonds were strong. Total
| sales par value $2,942, 900. United
States bonds We're unchanged CT cali
Total sales today were 1927. 500.
