Stocks and Bonds.

New York, April 1.-THE stock
market today CAV further evidence of
some unsettlement of speculative sen
timent. The sharp reaction of the
day before n the argument of the
u~nfavorable bearing Of the wheat
market situation or stocks had the eff
feet of. bringing in selling orders. Part
of these We're executed in. the London
market before the opening here and
prices in New York were opening at
the London parity or below, represent
ed considerable declines from the
level at which the market left off last
night. The manner of the market alb
Sorbed the stock offered and the APP
peafance of support of prices had an
intimidating effect on the bears n
inspired some covering Of shorts on
their part. The bears took to flight
in the late dealings and caused the
buoyant rally which ended the day.
The pronounced strength in the cOalers
was the influence which prompted the
at general net gains. The quietness
of the wheat market helped to reas-
sure speculative sentiment.
