STAGNATION IN
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, April 4.-Some fea-
lures of interest were discernible
through the intense dullness of
the days dealings in stocks. al
though the net price changes were
inconsequential. One was the ex-
treme thinness of the market in
the periods when there were any
STRINGS of animation. This was
strikingly manifested in the wide
fluctuations at which orders were
executed in the little furry which
succeeded the assembling of the
supreme court.
There had been some selling by
bear traders in the first hour on
the chance that decision adverse
to the American tobacco company
would be handed down today. But
the point of interest was that in
the filing of buying orders there
was a fuctuation from 1855 to
1861 on the purchase of a 500
share block of Union Pacific.
The question was, suggested
whether the interstices disclosed
in the market might be due in
part to the going into force today
Of. the new reform rules of the
stock exchange directors against
manipulative practices.
a favorite device of the manipu-
lators was to put in an order for a
large amount of stock for "all or
none, which was effective often
in moving the price without any
actual transaction being neces-
sary. It was inferred that the
new rule, in discouraging such
orders. might be responsible for
the open spaces bare of orders
that were encountered when the
prices moved today with any de-
cision
The relapse of the market into
stagnation after it became known
that no American tobacco decision
would come today gave force to
for the neglect of the market than
the suspense of awaiting this i'm
portsnt judicial decision.
Statistics of the Journal of Com
merce on the recent output of new
securities threw light on the
causes of the present symptoms
of glut in the market For the
last quarter the total reaches the
prodigious figure of S664,733.765
par value. of which $3S0,06S,765
was issued in March Last year
there was but 1852, 2,376,SSO issued
for the whole of the first quarter
and but SIS, ,225. 400 for March.
That the money market is unaf-
fected by the gold export move
ment and by the low surplus re-
serve shown by the Saturday bank
statement is due to the languid
demand for stock market pur-
poses.
