Reaction a Healthy Sign.

The reaction, however, as viewed BY
Wall street, was healthy one, in
spite of its suddenness. 1t was gen.
orally believed to have been caused by
an overbought condition of the market.
For several days prominent brokers
and bankers have felt that the market
was becoming a topheavy one, and that
some sort of a turn was due.
Speculation had been heavy. and the
entire list was honeycombed with stop
orders by persons who had made a con-
siderable profit on the great upward
movement, and who had taken steps to
protect themselves against any con-
siderab bic loss. The great upward swing
in prices, moreover, had driven the
short" element virtually out of ex-
istence. and there was no frantic de-
mand by that class of spectators for
stock to stay the reaction when it once
came.
In fact. Wall street was glad to see
the market turn as it did, and it was
pointed out that some decline in prices
was only natural after such a rise.

The reaction in Wall street reduced
the volume of business in the Ameri-

ALL OF E|TEL'S CREW
STILL ABOARD CRUISER

NORFOLK. Va. April oO.-Collector
Hamilton this morning denied the
story from Copenhage teIegraphed to
the London Daily Mail that several
members of the crew of the
German cruiser Prinz Eitel Fried
rich. now interned at the navy
yard here. had arrived at Copen-
hagen headed by the cruisers second
officer, bearing important dispatches
from the Eiters commander to the
Berlin government. and that the men
bore false passports describing them as
citizens of Sweden.
The neutrality of the United States
has been rigidly enforced in the Eitel
Friedrich case" he said. 1T would
have been impossible for any member
of the crew of the Citel Friedrich to
have left this port under any false rep
resentation. The same number of men,
except one who died as the result Of
an accident, who were on board the
vessel when she came here in March,
are still on board.

RUSH OF SELLING ORDERS
CAUSES DROP IN WHEAT
Prices Steady Later From IA to
Ga Under Last Nights Level.
Other Grains Affected.

CHICAGO, April c0.-An unusual ac-
emulation of small-sized selling
orders in the May delivery brought
about lightning-like overthrow of
prices today for that option of wheat.
AS soon. however. as the little rush
of selling had spent itself the market
for May quickly recovered and swung
into line with other more active specu-
iative deliveries. which meanwhile
had been only moderately Influenced by
the weakness of the old crop month,
May.
In a general way the chief bearish
influence came from vague peace talk
and from improved reports regarding
the crop outlool; in southern Illinois.
After opening unchanged to IA
lower. prices Steadied at a range 4
to "a under last nights level.
