STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Trading of Narrow Professional Char
acter-Sluggish Movement.

New York, April 1S.-The stock
market gave further evidence of its
narrow professional character and
fell into a duh rut in which little sig
nificance attached to the sluggish nuc-
tuations in prices. The tone was
heavy, as Is usually the case In a pro-
foundry dull market. Some of tho
heaviness was Of foreign inspiration
and London sold on balance in this
market. Paris continued to With
draw gold from London and discounts
continued to harden at the latter cen-
ter, while a further rise In foreign
exchange rates here brought condi-
lions near to the level at which Lon
don could shift the Paris demand for
gold upon Now York. The london
remittances to Paris represent the
completion of the repayment If ad-
Nances made during the New York
financial crisis and its reflected re-
suits in foreign markets. There
seems to be also some speculative
troubles in Paris due to disturbance In
the diamond and copper trades, which
induced liquidation by Paris in the
| London stock market An unofficial
announcement was made in New York
that the selling agency of the princi-
pal copper producers had marked
down the selling price of copper, thus
conforming to last weeks successive
reductions in the London market and
at the New York metal exchange. For
this reason Amalgamated Copper was
leader in the early reaction, Do
mestic even is offered little to offset
foreign Influences Railroad traffic Of
flcials reported that there was n dis
position ito postpone the date IF ex-
pected revival The same was true
of adyices ON the commercial situation
and complaints were heard from
some centers of relapse into some
what critical conditions in trade.
The approach Of the Easter holidays
was q repressive factor on all specu-
lative markets and this was empha-
sized by the decision to close the stock
exchange from Thursday of this week
until Monday Of next. Tho appear
