NEW YORK, April l6--The stock market
slowed more life today than was expected on
the eve of a triple holiday. The demand which
advanced prices was attributed largely TO pro
fesslonal origin. The movement was lanEuid
and only noticeable in its contrast with the
entire stagnaton which was expected. Some
attention attracted by statement, apparently
Inspired that the Erie financial settlement was
not the eleventh hour makeshft IL has been
-assumcd to be, but was the carrying out of
definite plan having the assent of the conf
panys bankers and prepared some time before
as alternative to cover the failure OF the
plan officially offered.
This fact was urged against the supposition
that friction had existed between the Harrl-
and other powers I'm the Erie settlement.
There were reports In circulation OF sales nav
ing been made OF largo holdings Of railroad
stocks held by other railroads In furtherance
of policies of community of interest in the
past
Union Pacific was a leader in the days mar
ket and absorbed large share Of the total
transactions. Some effect was produced by re
iteration OF reports of the comparative advance
uf freight rates by the railroads and the sane
tion of this by the interstate commission.
There was some heavy buying of the United
states Steel stocks and this strength had added
