STOCK TRADING
Lacks FEATURE

NEW YORK, April 6.-The stock
market today was narrow and thin
and the motives prompting the
light transactions were corre-
spOndingly obscure
A strong contrast is presented
in conditions existing in the Lon
don market and here. In the for
mer an unbridled speculation is
going side by side with a state
of disorder in the finances unpar-
aneled in any recent history. In
New York the depletion of bank
reserves by gold exports is viewed
with entire Indifference and with
out any demand for speculative
business to exercise a check on
the outward flow of the precious
metal.
One proffered explanation is that
an understanding and an agree
ment exists among the leading
banking authorities at all the
great financial capitals to CO.
operate for safeguarding the
threatening position in London.
1t is for this reason, as supposed.
that New York bankers receive
the shipments of gold to London
with equanimity, relying on the
reflected benefit to come to the
New York market by the relief of
the London position.
From Paris comes the intima-
ton that the tightening of the
pursestrings Of the Bank of France
against the London demand is by
express request of the Bank of
England in order to curb the rub
ber shares speculation. To rec
oncile this attitude OF the English
bank with its payment of a pre-
MUM over the market price to draw
American eagles from New York
is a feature of the problem espe-
cially puzzling to New York OBJ
{ servers.
Wall street keeps an attentive
eve on the commodities markets.
The crop promise has the addi-
tional Importance this year shat
} the credit position of the interior
banks is believed TO be largely
committed to the holding of bills
s on old grain and cotton which
: have been withheld from the mar
; ket in the movement to bolster
; up prices.
Some of the Wall street banks
hold the opinion that the growing
5 promise for the yield of the new
5 crops and a decrease in commodity
! prices would lead TO extensive
{ liquidation of loans on the old
} crops from banks throughout the
I country.
Predictions Of an increase in the

} cline followed the rise in the call

Butter. Cbeesc and Fec.

Tuesdays advance in eggs proved too much
for the large storage operators, and one OF
the leading receivers went the exchange and
sold the market down by meeting bids for small
lots at reduced rates. Extras were 1c lower at
23c a dozen, there a similar decline IN
irsts and seconds. while nc Topped OF the
quotation for thirds There very little
doing in shipping channels, prices being too high
to attract outside business. Butter continued
to come forward freely but the demand for
shipment held the market firm at the old quota
tions. Cheese remained firm at the recently
revised prices.
Sales the exchange follows:
Eggs-10 cases Of extras at 23l2c and 10 at
