PRICES DECLINED.
In Stock Market Ycsterday-Specu
Iators Were in Gloomy Frame
OF Mind.

New York. April I22f-Speculative
operators in stocks started the day
| in so gloomy frame of mind over
commercial and financial prospects
that some excess was to be looked
for in the steps that they would take
10 express that view, the late t.e-
mad to cover shorts being a conse-
quence. The sentiment was due to
the effect Of various factors at work
for several days and to which was adj
ded the news over night that a re-
organization was necessary of the old
and prominent Tefft-Weller Dry
Goods companq.
The strong influence of the Gaze on
the speculative sentiment was due to
the watchful spirit which has been
aroused by admitting difficulties
growing on of the high price of cot
ton which was explicitly assigned as
the principal cause of embarrass-
ment. The cotton market itself the
object of ANXIOUS attention owing 10
the extended speculative position
known to be held in that market AMI
the precarious situation for specula-
tors which may result from precipi-
tate fall in prices or from the inter.
vention of the government authorities
in the affairs of the pool
An idea of the trade reaction has
been growing UP in the stock market
during the week from various causes.
The light demand for pig iron, plans
for reduction of output,reports OF.
falling off on new orders for finished
steel and more than anything else
signs of liquidation of United States
steel shares and the lack Of effective
support for them in the market, made
IN an effective factor In forming this
impression.
Unsatisfactory views OF the copper
trade position enhances it..
The almost stagnant demand for
money was brought forward as an
additional evidence to which was add
ed this weeks report of some
shrinkage in the volume of bank
clearings
The overselling OF stocks by bear
and their demand to cover shorts
was held responsible for the rallying
tendency of the late market
