SIDE,
Reports of Strikes at Collieries Has
Depressing Effect TOealc Under
tone of the Market.
NEW TORK. Arril 7. The weakness which
developed In today's stock market bore witness
to the' disappointment felt In .Speculative circles
at the fall ore of what are considered favor
able developments la the situation to awaken
any algn-of Interest In speculation on the part
ot the outside public Call money was not
higher thaa per cent atyany time, aad fell
lower thaa that on enlarged offerings by the
banks. There was soma lending oa call also
by stock commission houses, which have sup
plied their expectedtseeds with time loans ana
have motley oa their hands cow, owing to the
practical stssrnatlon ot tbe commission busi
ness in stacks at present. Tbe Immediate
money situation ceases to be a factor m tne
stock market. Great hopes have been enter
tained that tha advent ot this condition would
aroose some speculative: Interest in securities
and would afford opportunities to begin to
move the undigested mass , with which the
market is -weighted down. Not, tnucn prospect
was offered by today's events of any effective
assimilation of the congestion ot securities in
which Is involved the embarrassing tie-up of
credits which threatens the future facilities,
ot the money market.
Tbe Indefinite poetpoaeznent ot the Southern
Padfle annual meeting was viewed In a re
encouraged spirit this morning, owing to Its
assurance ot the Indefinite prolongation pf the
present control ot that .property, but renewed
uneasiness was felt over the, position or the
speculative pool In Southern Pacific stock. The
extension of the pool carries, it only to' April
10, and the suggestive weakness of the stock
market today had a -wiakenlrar syzapathetlo
effect. There was heavy selling at other points
in the list, attributed to the same source. This
development put aa end quickly to aa upward
movement during the first hour, led by New
York Central, which seemed designed as a
bull, demonstration, with the purpose of at
tracting the expected outside Interest, When
this demonstration was seen to fall ot Its ef
fects, speculative Interest became stagnant,
n Trots of strikes at some of the collieries
In tbe anthracite region, owing to disputed
interpretation of the Strike commissions
award, had a depressing effect bn the coalers.
The sharp declines in the United' Stales Steel
securities, coming at the same Urns' with a
meeting of the finance committee ot the cor-
peratlon. had a deddedly unfavorable effect.
Both stocks fell over a point, and the new
S per cent bonda sold on the curb at 84U.
The feature of the day was the wide declines
among dormant stocks, made necessary be
fore a sale could be effected. Lackawanna
waa sold down B points after a preliminary
rise ot a point. Lake Erie A Western pre
ferred and Cleveland. Lorain ft Wheeling pre
f erred each dropped 5 points oa a single sale;
Weitlng no use Electric. 4; Virginia Chemical

the Northern Securities case comes in for con
siderable dlscussloa In connection with the
points left uncovered by the decision la the
Southern Padfle Injunction case, and the pos
sibilities lying la the Northern Securities de.
clsloa were believed to have a good deal to do
with the weak undertone ot tbe market.
