THE STOCK MARKET.

New York. April 7--The state of sus- pense over the outcome of the plan for stock market in q practical deadlock today. Opinion, which was on the side of the plan being made operative. was based as much with the plan as any positive evidence to show progress towards its success. ke- ports indicated that the deposits of the notes in assent were not being made.
 It was the general conviction that abso- lute compliance with the terms of the offer would be physically impossible In ing notes which are widely scattered. not only in this country. but in Europe. With only three days notice of the method to be pursued in the settlement. 1t was pointed out that profession of a hope of hearing from all the holders before three o'clocK trayaEant. This fact. fostered the belief that means were in reserve to take care of such of the maturing notes as were held apparent discredit that would attach to em- inent names in allowing the plan to result in a fiasco rather than on any admissions that could be secured of the existence of such plan. Such episode in fact is regarded So puzzling and confusing refrain from market operations until it is definitely disposed of was general.
 The coming. government crop report was suine hopes are entertained amongst the speculative element of the high percent az of condition to be shown for April 1.
  pectation was supplemented early today by reports of rain and prospects of rain in the Southwest from which the only reports of possible deterioration from drought since the date of the reports of the governments agent have come.
 While these considerations served. to some extent, to uphold prices of stocks, they were unavaIiins to awaken any act i've demand. The market in fact was profoundly dull throughout. The growing lethargy of the demand for credits is not liked, pointing as it does to slackening bus mess activity. Increasin. demand for mer- cantile paper is an effect but the investment demand for securities continues practically lifeless.
 Prospects of heavy withdrawals of gov ernment deposits and of possible gold ex- ports, which might be expected to reduce the supply of loanahle funds seem to awaken no uneasiness amongst borrowers and increasing difficulty is reported in the placing of funds. The $1250O. GOO decrease for March foreshadows some change in the complexion of our own foreign trade show ing for March from the heavy excess of exports shown for recent months.
 The persistent firmness of foreign ex- change rates here is applicable from this development. Union Pacific reported de- crease in net earnings for February Of S2l5,41s and Southern Pacific a decrease of $1,4ts,74S for the same period. But this did not prevent Union Pacific assum- ing the leadership in the late advance in prices which showed the nearest approach to animation that was exhibited during the day.
 Bonds were steady Total sales par value $e,4sS00o. United States bonds were un- changed on call.
