WALL Street LETTER
Especial Correspondence

@GNSN
New York, March 30 The stock
market during the week was feverish
and unsettled. An immense amount.
In small lots, of securities has been
absorbed by small investment buy.
ers. but the market at large was con-
spicuously lacking In big pool buying
power. This is explained by the
fact that very heavy losses have been
sustained by such previous holders:
confidence In pool operation has been
badly shaken. besides the floating
supply Of capital has been practically
exhausted by the immense offerings OF
new securities, and large sums OF the
latter are still hanging owe the mar,
ket. During January and February
nearly 5000. 900 900 OF short.term rail.
road notes were offered. Then over
$500. 000. 900 OF new stock OF various
railroads issued 10 stockholders Of re.
cord at par have also had to be finan-
cej. These include about 500. 900,
600 by st. Paul, over 500. 600, 900 by
the Northern Pacific. 2 5000. 900 by
Northwest, $50. 900. 900 by Great
Northern. s70.o 900. 900 by New York
Central and nearly $4,000. 900 by the
New York and New Haven. Besides
these heavy amounts II Ia well known
that many blocks OF new bonds held
by various s%yndicates have been held
at first hands for months seeking a
resting place In Investors strong
boxes. With such a load as this,
roughly estimated at $1,000, 00o. 900,
and the buying powers so badly Grip.
pied. 1t is hardly reasonable to an
ticipate any extravagant upturn In
the market, although there is justif-
cation for a reasonable advance in
prices after such an immense recess
sion which has taken place.
The situation has been certainly
improved by the recent %upheaval, for
the financial atmosphere has been
partially clarified and We are now In
no danger OF a severe panic, as
threatened a few weeks ago. We can
henceforward safely look for at least
partial relief in the money market
Secretary Cortelyou's policy Is now
definitely known to he that of coun.
%teracting to the full limits of his
power the absorption Of funds by the
treasury. This Is encouraging. AMI
his action In regard to the govern,
ment deposits and his intentions in
regard to the purchase of As have
done much towards a restoration of
confidence In financial circles. The
unnatural relations between the gov.
erment and the money market are a
matter OF common knowledge, and
so long as these exist there is no
course left but that of counteracting
! bad tendencies as far as possible,
even by artificial methods which are
not entirely free from objection. An
other sOurce If relief to the money
market should be the recent drastic
liquidation. Borrowings on an enorm-
GUS scale by great spectators will,
no doubt, temporarily cease; while
currency should begin to return from
the interior. After Che middle OF
April-if not w may expect
rising bank averages and a cessation
of the extreme rates for money which
have been experienced during the last
six months. This does not mean that
very low rates are In prospect; on
the contrary. fairly firm rates must
be anticipated for some time to come
