This Time.

NEW YORK, April 2n.-There was no
perccptiblc current in the pr1ce movement
OF stocks today until the last fifteen min
utes of the trading, when prices stincned
slightly with a few of the speculative lead
crs in the advance. The volume of dealings
was insignificant. The uDfavorable bank
statement was anticipated and was ig-
nored. In fact the weakening bank posi-
ton in New York is accepted as an index
OF actual relaxation Of money conditions
since the expansion of New York bank
loans is due to the taking over OF loans
from interior banks which find no attrac-
ton in the prevailing low level of interest
rates in New York. Trust companies also
are out of the local loan market and the
clearing house banks are left to meet the
demand for credits and to accept the d.
minished interest return. The prevailing
ease. of the local money market is having
the effect also of prompting the paying OH
of maturing foreign obligations, as was
shown by the tirmness OF the foreign eX-
change market today. The declining money
rates which continued in London today. do
not seem to affect the progress of these
remittanCes to pay foreign loans The
gain in cash by the banks was nearly equal
to previous estimates. Prices OF bonds
showed some slight improvement. but BUSH

one of those beautiful French machines

taken out of the hold of the steamer and
landed on American soil. Mr.. A had $1,000
in the ear. He got a bunch one day that
the stock market was a sale. and the par
ticular stock that he thought was a safe
'.investment" as a short sale was Erie. The
stock was selling well up in the 40s This
was along in the winter. He sold his
for ST. 900 and took the money to a broker
friend. Mr.. B. in Wall strees. With the
$1,000 as margin Mr.. B sold for Mr. 4

course was slow but sure. AS the stock
declined and Mr.. AS profits rose his
broker allowed him to sell more stock on
the accumulated profits. MIR. AS invest
ment" in the stock grew with every new
low figure recorded. until finally he was
short 5000 shares OF the stock.
In the meantime Mr.. B. who has al
ways been more or less interested IN

BULLS AND BEARS


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 2O.-There was consid-
cradle difference OF opinion in financial
quarters this morning concerning the prob
able course of the stock market during the
next two or three weeks Some interests
claimed that good buying has been in prog
ress during the last two or three weeks, and
that the market was likely to become more
active and advance materially In the near
future If the crop advices were reasona bly,
favorable. Other observers thought that
the losses sustained during the March
tainty with respect to the crops and various
other features Of the situation was suffi-
GENTLY great to result In quiet market
for some weeks to come. A few interests
believed that the market would decline
materially from present prices
Il
Private reports received here during the
last few days by prominent railroads and
banking interests indicate that the re-
ports sent out by so-called experts have
considerably exaggerated the actual dam
age done to the wheat crop by the bugs
and the weather conditions. According
to these private advices, winter wheat in
sections of Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian
Territory has been damaged, but not to
the extent indicated in most of the crop
reports which have been published in Chi
cago and New York. Private advices state
that cotton is being planted in sections
where the winter wheat crop has been
altogether destroyed According to these
same advices the crop has been, will be.
materially benefited in the states farther
north by the recent rain and snow fall.
Apparently there has been marked alb
sence of moisture throughout large part
Of the winter wheat belt.
4
Conservative interests are not attaching
much Importance to these early crop adj
vices, because they realize that at this
time it is utterly impossible to forecast
definitely the final results and, of course
altogether too early to make any predic-
lions regarding the spring wheat crop, ex-
cept possibly as to acreage.

lowing last weeks record loan expansion of

In force this week with a tendency to en-

These include large syndicate payments of

of credits by interior banks placed here.
