SEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
The Jndnstrlnl Were, Strong- and
Railroads Were Heavy.
NEW TORK. April C-Sneculatlon In the In
dustrials and the railroad stocks showed a dis
tinct dividing line today. Both departments
were extremely Irregular, but. generally speak
ing, the Industrials were strong and the rail
roads were very heavy. The sagging tendency
of the railroads seemed to be due for the most
part to soiling to take profits. The volume of
the buying demand was very much dimin
ished, the reallzlns was conducted, therefore,
under that much disadvantage. The selling
was not in great volume, but when It did at
tain to any proportions the downward course
of prices was quite fast. There were some
points of strength in the railroad list, but th
few advances were not well maintained, and
were not effective In sustaining the rest of the
market. Pennsylvania was llf.ed at one time
over a point, and other stocks to ahow strength
were Baltimore &. Ohio preferred. Missouri
Pacific. Burlington. Canada Southern, and
after nn early period of weakness Southern

In the morning on rumors of dl'senslons among
the directors, which were circulated by bears.
and subsequently denied. This was about the
,only ralroad stock to reflect any positive ag
Cresslveness. the bears showing a very cau
ttoia disposition, but the other Pacific stocks
werosold more heavily than the average to
, take'proflts.
.London wao a free seller, with considerable
Influence npon sentiment, and the news of
rouble In West Africa, had the new .mishap to

the British troops in ths Free State prompted
?me- selling at first hands by the local "traders.
The Industrials and the specialties made a
notablo show of strength, each apparently
under the Influence of some Individual cases.
Sugar was bid up again by the shorts, with
the sugpestlon that the recent operations might
have resulted in a transfer of control.
People's Gaa moved up on persistent reports
of the absorption cf Ogden Gas. The Rubber
stocks were strong on the dividend declara
tions and the earnings statement. Leather and.
.inoacco moved up under manipulation, uiy
-utilities moved upward under a demand from
the short Interests. The advance in each case
was Irregular, and waa not fully maintained.
Preliminary estimates of the week's cash
changes Indicate a favorable bank sUtement
tomorrow. Subtrearury operations alcne have
yielded f3,8Jl,(O0 to the market. The currency
movement with the Interior by express haa
been considerably smaller both ways than last
week, but the net gsln for New Tork Is about
f300,000. ,
A further loan expansion is expected on ac
oount of the stock market activity, but it will
probably be partly offset by the further liqui
dation of loans forholdlng Government bonds
which have continued to con: v on the market
Sterling exchange rose sharply today under
the influence of London selling of stocks, firmer
money In London and essler money here. The
rate Is now within measurable distance of the
gold-export point, and If the same tondttions
continue fcr any.length of tlnfe gold will likely
go out In the immediate future.

market, and priceo yielded at some points.

vertiser's London financial cablegram oays:
The markets here were very slack and dull In
tone. The war news came too late to exercise
any Influence, but consols were down 3-16, and
the war loan Is now at a prerqlum of 1.
Americans were very Idle and weak through
out the session. It would have been difficult to
sell large amounts without a heavy break.
There was an attempted rally In New Turk's
opening, but It failed, and prices closed at the
bottom. The aharpest fall was uvSouthern' Pa
cific London Is disposed to take profits all
around, and Is nervous lest New Ycrfc realizes
on Its favorites. IX this does not happen, a re

Influence of better cables than expected and
the decreased Argentine shipments. For a brief
time trad was fairly active and the tone firm.
Not much trade developed, however, the weath
er was excellent from a cropralser'e etand
polnt, and the early corn strengh began to de-
cllne. Under these conditions many cf the
pit crowd took to selling, and May relapsed to
OOSc The liberal "Western receipts cut "some
figure In the decline. At the- bottom the ship
ping business improved, and, helped by the cov
ering by rhorta. May recovered to CTJic nJ

Com began the rerslon with vigor and
strength. May opened steady. Some very influ

erpool reported selling, and New Tork Joined
In the bearish tone, the effect being a decline
for May to 30c A rally fcllowed shorts cov
ering, and May reacted to 40Kc at which the
market closed. In a steady condition, He3c un
der yesterday.
Pork lost Its premium, and Interest wss cen
tered keenly In May ribs. Hogs were lower at
the yards. The profits were too temptlnc nd
handsome to be overlooked, and much long
stuff came out. The decline brought out many
sales on stop-leai orders, and Liverpool re
ported another Od rise in Cumberland cut bacon.
