MARINE DISASTER
AFFECTS MARKET
The New York Stock Market
Affected Last Week by
Titanic Disaster.

New York. April 22.-The stock
market suffered last week from the
mental depression due to the great
marine disaster. This influence was
prolonged by the suspense and tension
during tn" voyage to port of the sur
vivors and the intense struggle to OBJ
tain detailed information Of the re-
cy loss growing out Of the sinking
Of the Titanic forced selling of ecuri-
ties by underwriters in the London
market which depressed their prices.
The first day of the week has seen
a smar recovery from the reaction
of the previous week. The specula-
tive contingent which had sold on
developments bought on Monday to
cover shorts. The extent of the re-
action of h previous week apparent
y invited sone renewed operations for
a rise. These operations seemed to
be suspended on the constraint that
fell upon speculation later.
There was a mixture Of good and
bad Influences in other factors, much
as the were obscured by the weeks
main event. Tho grain markets re-
Elected further excitement over the
alarming reports of damage to WIN
ter wheat. Allowance was made for
eXaggeration and for the possibility
OF TepldntlnR lne damaged acreage.
Good soil conditions and moisture left
confidence unimpaired in the promise
for other crops now going into the
ground. March foreign trade statis-
tics helped to explain the advancing
price of cotton by the enormous ex-
ports for that perior. in spite of the
coal mining strike in Great Britain
n widespread industrial suspension
at that time. Coupled with the large
! demand from domestic %spinners, there
is revealed an absorptive power going
far to insure demand for the unpre-
ccdented yield of last years cotton
crop.
The advance in the dividend rate
on hmalgamated copper was concrete
evidence In the benefits of the inn
proved market for the metal while
the action OF that stock in the market
gave warning Of the speculative an
ticipation Of that benefit that has
taken place already.
Labor disputes still overhung the
market, but with hopes still pro
fessed of a settlement, both of the
anthracite miners and the eastern
railroad engineers demands. The
Mexican disturbance commanded
some attention.
A fresh decline in French rents
to a new low level and in British cor
sols points again to the high rates
