YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.
Only Handful of Stocks Move at Any
 Time as Much as Full Point.

New York, April 1S.--Facetious brok- CTS cautioned each other to step softly to-day lest they wake up the stock market from its somnolent condition. A glance at the aggregate of the day s sales will help to explain the pleasant ny. The full extent of the lethargy, however, will require an analysis of the price movements. It will be found that only handful of stocks moved at any time as much as full point away from last nights closing level. The move ment, sluggish as 1t was, was conspic- uous also for it's irregularity. The mar row vibrations varied constantly above and below lost nights closing level. The consequence was a market such as is rarely witnessed except in the op- pressive days of summer heat, and then only in perids of inactive trade conditions. It has been evident for some days past that the diminishing transactions at the stock exchange were largely in the hands of profession- al traders. But the almost total col lapse of even the traders activity, which occurred to-day came as sur prise. The feeble speculation even in such a favorite as Amalgamated Cop per on the even of dividend action was an example of the spirit of the market The unchanged dividend was in fact clearly foreseen. Some influence Is at trlbuted to the hardening of the money market, slight as it is, as a deterrent from speculation. The presence of the secretary of the treasury in the city gave rise to some surnises of possible discontinuance of the deposit of cur rent customs receipts with the banks This forms the principal source of the accretions of bank cash now in pro- gress. Abroad, the recall by the Bank l of France of it's credits placed in the 1 London market, accounts for the reae- i 1-2 per cent. The slow recuperatior of the Bank of France in comparison
 with the other great foreign banks ex- l plains the movement to reimburse it. | self for advances made to London dur. l ing the period of strain in that market
 The British budget proposals presented | to parliament to-day gave promise oi advantage for the money market in tho
 resumption of sinking fund purchases
 of consols. A renewed decline in Stand
 ard Oil in the curb market was feat
 ure of the day. The market closed witt
 with prices general above last night'i
 closing level. Bonds were irregular. To
 tai sales par value, sl,O94,000
 | United States bonds were unchanged
 on call.

 feet.
 Rumors that the Union Pacific would borrow $50,0O0,oOO if satisfactory terms could be secured persist, though there is no evidence that a loan for any amount is imminent. Now it Is said that the Southern Pacific will require between 0,000, 900 and $50,000,000 in the next six months. In other words, Har- riman bankers are required to finance $100, 100000 of new securities. Under these circumstances it is natural that they should want to take steps to place the administration of the property in such shape that it would inspire confi- dence with investors.
 Up to midday sales were only 12S,000 shares, as against 4570O0 Wednesday,. Of the total five stocks made up 76,O0O shares, or about taree-flfths. They were Union Pacific. with 26000; Read ing, 2S,0o0; Smelling, 15200, and Amal- gamated Copper, 11,300. The second hours trading was only about one-half that of the first hour, being 46,005. Prices advanced fraction during the first few minutes, then gradually sag ged off, and early in the afternoon were distinctly heavy, though dull It was apparent that there was not much sell- ing pressure But, on the other hand, nobody cared to buy.
 The Baltimore and Ohio earnings give sufficient explanation of the heavy tone of this stock. The March exhibit able statements. It shows net loss of $S7000 75 per cent of whicb was due to increased operating expenses. The road was worked in March at IS per cent. For nine months the net loss has been about $1,000000, with an operating ratio of 66 per cent.
 The announcement of the usual quar- terly dividend on Amelgamated Copper shortly after midday-1 1-2 regular and 1-2 extra-was without any effect on this or other stocks. This bore out previous experience when there was no change in the Amalgamated dividend. 
 An incident of much interest, which developed around o'clock, was an ad- vance in the bid price of lake and elec- trolytic copper of one-quarter cent each. But this had no effect on the stock market. Earlier in the day cop per had risen further in London. Such incidents showed how irresponsive the stock market was to any ordinary oe- currenee.
 The market opened most unwillingly and acted all day as though it wanted a rest. The first hour trading was S6,- GOO shares. Around midday the ticker was silent for long intervals. The whole days business did not go above 100000 shares.
 Bears took occasion to offer prices down a little on the slightly higher rates for call money. The bid of per cent, after a week of renewals at 2 to 21-2 per cent, gave those who have be- lieved the present ease to be somewhat artificial chance to emphasize their claims.
 An odd movement of the day was a sharp bidding up of Erie second pre- ferred-some points on half a dozen sales-while the common stock was go- ing down. The only apparent inter- pretation to be put upon this was that

Arbitrage operations were in keeping with those here. They did not amount to more than 5000 shares, It is under stood that til ere has been considerable option dealing in a few stocks, notably the Morgan issues, recently. The strong characte of the budget and the reduc- tion in the income tax, with the optim- istic speech of the chancellor on trade prospects, helped sentiment, which had been nightly dulled earlier by the un- changed bank rate.
 It was hard to say that the market had any more professional character i than it has had, Yesterdayip opera tions were absolutely of a trading na- ture. Neither faction took any initia- tive. In Shelters there was some bear manipulation, but most stocks were al- lowed to run their own way.
