The Leading Stocks.

New York, April 3O.-The shrinkagc of
about half in the volume of today's stock
market from that of yesterday was sig
nificant of the abatement in the demand
for stocks. The reactionary tone at the
time was more pronounced than yeSter-
day. most of the days sales being effect
ed at prices below the closing of the day
befole and last prices showing material
declines. 1t is well understood that the
disclosures in connection with the two
latest Stock Exchange failures have serv-
ed to corce covering by the bears to an
unusual extent. many lenders Of stocks
making percmptOry demands for their re-
turn by borrowers for delivery against
short sales. These disclosures have had
temper also, owing to the fears that they
would discourage operations by the gem
eral public through commission houses.
OF more active factors the most i'm
portant was the rapid accumulation of
idle freight cars reported by the Ameri-
can Railway Association committee. The
number of these on April Is at 315,I70. is
pronounced the greatest total in the MIS-
