NEW YORh STOCK MARKET

New York, April 1.-THE stock
market was still largely in profession
al hands today, but operations We're
conducted in a more aggressive man
ner and were extended to greater
lengths. Constant shifting Of position
Still indicated a very uncertain frame
of mind on the part of the 2rofes-
sionals. Much of the days session
was given up to what looked like test
ing operations without success in de-
veloping the prevailing tendency Of
the market. The trading sank into eX-
treme dullness at times under the dis
couraging influence Of these failures
and then yielded decidedly. SHch
strength as the market showed was
most in evidence in the early part Uf
the day. Part Of this was in response
to a rise in London markets as re-
suit Of the reduction in the official dis
count rate of the Bank Of ENGLAND
from 5 to 4 IL per cent. The pre-
vious course of the money market
gave ample warning of the action and
gave opportunity for discounting il in
the securities market. Nothwithstand-
ing this general and continued yielding
of money rates all over the world. the
stock market begins to reflect misgiv-
ings over it's sufficient to meet the
large waiting demands These include
large volumes of authorized but uAis-
sued securities or where the sale of
these is impraCticable probable fur
ther note issues. Signs of movement
Of currency back to the interior also
gave warning of the large REQUIRE
ments of the continued activity in
trade. Another specific influence in
the days market was the report from
Washington of the decision Of the ia
terstate commerce commission to ad-
vance proceedings against the Harri-
man railroad system as combination
IN restraint Of trade within the mean
ing Of the laws.
The closing tone was steady and at
some recovery from the lowest Bonds
were dull and irregular. Total sales
par value $1,48O,OOO United States
bonds We're unchanged on call. TOTAL
sales stocks today 900, 400 shares.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York, April 1.-THE cotton
market was quiet today, but showed a

net advance of to 9 points Sales

The opening was steady at a net al
vance of to 3 points on higher cables
than expected and big spot sales in
the English market. At first there
was some hesitation and room profes-
sionals seemed to be selling on the
ground that local conditions should
prevent figures from following the
English advance but the market work
ed gradually higher during the ear.
session on covering of shorts and
prices at one time were about 8 to u
points net higher. Later most OF this
advance was lost in spite Of light
estimates for tomorrow's receipts a
leading points owing to more season
able weather in the western and cen
tral belts and selling by recent buy
ers, but the pressure was not aggres
sive and the market firmed up toward
the close in anticipation Of another
bulge in Liverpool tomorrow The
close was within points of the Des
on the active months. Light frosts
were reported in the eastern belt and
some few reports reached the market
that replanting would be necessary but
exerted no influence owing to the ear
hness Of the season. Exports for the
day were very heavy, exceeding the
port receipts by about 10000 bales, aud
the bulls were practicing bullish Wis

week. Southern spot markets were
