HEAVY TONE
ON ,CHANGE

NEW YORK, April 27.-The halting
and irregular price movement in the stock
market today argued speculative uncer-
tsinty. The subsistence in activity ex-
tended to the bond market, and the tone
there was rather heavy as well, with
none of the rapid absorption going on
that was in evidence last week. The
conviction still held that the prospect
Of some curtailment Of the redundant
money supplies was at the foot of the
sentiment for slowing up the pace of
the speculation.
The cell loan market is but little af-
fected. but the facility with which
credits can be obtained for speculative
. use is modified nevertheless.
United States Steel was firm on ac-
count of the general conjecture that the
quarterly report of the earnings of the
first three months of the year. 10 be
published after the market closed. would
mako a favorable contrast with the pre-
eedinS quarter. and especially would be
better than suppositions current since.
The estimates current during the day
of the earnings to be reported ranged
from s2l, COO 900 to over s22, 600, ,oOo
and as the actual report devolves the
amount as s22, ,s2l ,2ss, the accuracy of
the. information on which operations
we're based may be judged.
The iron and steel industrials were
helped also by reports of locomotive or
ders from several of the large railroad
systems.
The report was also circulated that
the Carnegie company has advanced the
price of bars fo- plates, but the report
lacked confirmation and was met by de-
mails from some quarters. Hitherto the
growth in business which has been Sc
cured by price concessions has been the
limit Of the improvement shown in con-
diticn
Another point selected for measures to
support values was in the local traction
division. and this proved unfortunate,
since the news of the reconsideration
and passage by the senate at Albany
of the cent coaey island fare meas
ure came IN the midst of the advance
in those stocks The violent reaction
which followed in Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit had q disturbing. unsettling effect
on the whole list Of securities.
The metal stocks ether than steel
and the smelling stocks were weak
points and Offset the influence Of the
firm tone of United States Steel itself.
The decline in Reading also had its
usdal strong influence the market.
The belief that a settlement of a wage
agreement with the anthracite miners
was imminent failed to help the stock.
Interest rates for time loans contin-
ued to advance. over the year maturi-
ties commanding 81. to 31s per cent
compared with recent rate of 8 per
cent for thst period. An upturn in
wheat was not of favorable effect on
stocks.
Bonds were steady Total sales (par
value). 5000, ,ocO United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

Butter, Cheese and Eggs

The upper grades of eggs continued to advance
yesterday. extras and frsts being marked up 1c

trend in prices is due solely 10 the rivalry be-
tween the large storage Spectators, who are said
10 be paying premiums for supplies in the coun-
try thus shutting the small receivers out from
their source of supply. The latter. being short.
obliged TO go the exchange to buy. and as
the large receivers are averse 10 selling at the
quotations. buyers obliged TO bid the market
up TO secure supplies. AS the new quotation Of
26c is too high for storage basis, heavy sell
ing movement may be expected at any time.
Stocks Of butter are more than sufficient for
local wants. but occasional squirt in the ship
ping business takes portion Of the surplus OF
the market and holds prices steady. Cheese Is
quiet but steady light stocks
