ure. ReporIs Of sucn assIsIance having been extended accounted for the rally in the market, but the tone continued feverish in the condition of uncertainty caused by these rumors. A good deal of anxiety was expressed also over the money situation abroad. It was some what remarkable that this anxiety was fostered by the persistent abstention Of New York bankers from withdrawing gold from foreign markets. There was vague fear that something worse than the New York market condition is feared if demands for gold should be forced on foreign markets. Money on IcaN here showed further relaxation and the advance to premium of New York exchange at Chicago indicated the pro- cess of remittance from that center to this. Foreign exchange also was weak, In spite of the reported troubles of for eign money markets and the easier tendency extended to the time money market hero, rates for which were quo tably lower.

EESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET.

Closing Irregular Although at Sub-

 Levels.
 New York, March 19.-To-days ner- vous stock market was regarded as a natural consequence of the deInora4za- tion of last week. But the weakness and uneasiness were much more acute than wero expected and gave rise to fears, at times, that the market was breaking away from control again and slipping back into the frenzied condi- tions of last week. There are always some strongly held accounts which are held through a slump like that of last week and protected in a spirit of cer- tainty that they can be closed out to better advantage by waiting for the frightened selling of weaker holders to be ended. The strength of these ac- counts Is so impaired, nevertheless, that they are subjected to pressure by those concerned in helping to carry them = be closed at the first opportu- nifty.
 Such reaction as that of yesterday adds to the weakness of these held over bull accounts and to the urgency for closing them out, The selling dur ing during the first hour to-day arous- ed the suspicion that very large ac- count of this kind was being forced to liquidation. without regard to the abil- ity of the market to absorb the heavy offerings.

HAYWOOD IN COURT
Defense in Miners Case Asks for
Bill of Particulars.
MAIN POINTS OF THE MOTION

Recites Absence of Defendant From
Idaho at Time of steunenberg's Muir
der and Lack of Mention in Indlct.
ment Of Any Overt Acts.
Boise, Ida, May 1.-THE argument
of the motion of the defense for bill
of particulars in the case Of William
D. Haywood, charged with the murder
Of former Governor Steunenberg, was
commenced before Judge Fremont
Wood at 1915 a. m. BY direction Of
the court Haywood was brought up
from the county jail below to attend
the hearing on the motion.
Sheriff Shad Hodgin and two depu-
MS brought the noted prisoner into
| the room and gave him seat at the
table of his counsel. He was not
handcuffed.
Senator Borah represented the state
and Messrs. Richardson and Darrow
the prisoner.
Mr.. Richardson opened his argument
by reading the indictment Of Hay
wood, Meyer, Pettibone, Orchard and
Simkins, charged with the murder Of
Governor Steunenberg.
The motion for the bill Of particu-
lars recites the absence of the defend
ants from Idaho at the time the crime
was committed and that the indict-
ment contains no information that
would show the overt acts by which
the state hopes to prove the guilt of
the accused.
Senator Borah, who argued for the
state, said that the defense was not
seeking Decentralization of the indict-
ment but possession of the evidence
by which the state hoped to prove it's
case. He then explained that the
charge that Haywood was at Caldwell
when the murder was committed was
not necessary under the Idaho stat
utes. Senator Borah said that the in
dictment as to murder was surely spe-
cific enough to show the prisoner the
exact nature of the charge he must
meet The demand for particulars as
: to the conspiracy was a demand for
evidence. -.
