SEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
tndJns Holiday Cansrs a Close of
Speculative Contracts.
NEW YORK. April 12. The fact that today's
adjournment of the Stock Exchange was to be
until next Monday, and that of tho London
'exchange until next Tuesday, prompted the
closing up of speculative contracts today. Traa
ers are averse to keeping open contracts fot
o long a period, at any time, and at this time
especially they have In mind the varying pos
sibility of the. war In South Africa, the war
In the sugar trade, the showing to be made by
tho weekly bank statement on Saturday, and
the possibility of gold export by Saturday-
steamers. As realizing has been going on to
a largo extent this week, most of the uncov
ered contracts were on the short side, and tho
demand to cover was an- Important factor In
rallying prices. In addition, the pools which
exist In a number or stocks adopted aggres
sive tactics for an advance, taking advantage
of the disinclination of the bears to extend
their commitments on the eve of the holiday
After the demand from the shorts had been
satisfied, the pool manipulators began to find
themselves alone In the bidding for stocks,
with a steady burden of realizing sales when
prices reached the higher level. The process
of bidding up prices was discontinued, and
the market lapsed Into comparative dullness
and sluggishness.' The Industrials moved quite
Independently of the general market, and none
of them occupied a very conspicuous place In
the trading. The most notable movement of
the day was that In Mlsrourl Pacific, which,
being alleged to be for manipulative purposes.
ijaaa-ci-,--

FINANCIAL NEWS
was carried up nearly 4 points, and dosed at
the Ui. Tills bad a sympathetic effect on the
other members of the Western group. Union
Pacific was very heavily absorbed, and was
carried up to CO. the other transcontinental
lines. Including the Atchison, responding In
sympathy. Tho Baltimore & Ohio .stocks and
the Norfojk & Western stocks rose conspicu
ously, the former on very large dealing, and
with well-sustained strength. The grangers
were comparatively quiet.
With the exception of Baltimore &. Ohio and
Missouri Pacific, gains were not well main
tained, and tho dosing was decidedly untrteadj
and below the best. The Industrials as a rule
were heavy. Sugar, People's Gas. Federal
Steel, and the Steel & Wire stocks and other
stocks of the steel group showing acute weak
ness at different times. Third Avenue showed
the effect of disappointment over the terms
of the lease to the Metropolitan. General Elec
tric was an exception, and enjoyed a net gain
of Z. In spite of an easy London money
rate, continuous buying of stocks ror London
account, and the unprecedented balances In this
country's favor, as dtsdosed by the March
foreign trade statement, sterling exchange
moved up an additional fraction today, and all
of the usual authorities are at a failure to ex
plain the movement. A favorable bank state
ment Is considered assured, owing to the large
gains In the Subtreasury, but ease of the local
money market will fadlltato gold exports.
There was moderate activity and strength In
the bond market. Total sales. $2,203,000.
United States 3s registered declined H In the
bid price.
Trices of stocks have moved downward dur
ing the week, with the exception of a few
stocks affected by special features of strength
or which were manipulated to sustain the gen
eral list, for purposes of realizing. There
has been some liquidation, due In part from
the demand from bears to cover short con
tracts. The market has been almost entirely
'In the hands of professional operators during
the four days on which business was done,
and prices are not an Index to public senti
ment regarding the business outlookv Theso
stocks wore sold because the considerable ad
vance la prices offered attractive profits to
early buyers, and the question arose whether
the rise had not fairly discounted the pros
perous changes.
The character of somo selling revealed a con
viction on the part of those with good means
of Information of the desirability of realizing.
The admission of a Pennsylvania official that
advantage had been taken of the existing high
level of prices to market somo of the stock In
the company's treasury was accepted as a
clear Intimation that the price of the stock
had gone as high as was warranted. When
speculative operators in other stocks sought
to tako their profits, they discovered that the
semi-Investment demand, based on the dividend
return, offered by stocks, had largely ceased
at the high level attained by some.
The professional bear traders are always on
the alert for suck a condition of affairs, and
they havo been prompt to take advantage of
It tLls 'week by selling stocks short and tak
ing the market away from those seeking to
realize. As conditions of business continue
favorable. It Is fair to arsums that the decline
In prices will be arrested before the late ad
vance has been entirely wiped out. Already
bear traders find offerings decreasing In volume
on a decline, and a commission-house made
bids for stocks at a level below tho market.
The presence of an aggressive bear element
in the market, and the reactionary tendencj
shown has prompted those seeking to secure
stocks to withdraw their buying orders In the
hope of getting In at a lower level of prices.
The movement, of prices In some cases Indi
cates that the bear aggression Is to afford op
portunity for securing stocks at lower prices
In greater volume than Is necessary for the
mere covering of short contracts. "While these
symptoms Indicate that the limits of the re
action are not far off. there Is nothing to Indi
cate whether a general advance will be re
newed. Speculative opinion evidently hesitates
and waits for further developments to point
tho way for a further movement.
Great uncertainty Is felt regarding the fu
ture of the money market. Last week's dis
appointing bank statement has had a contin
uing Influence, and the mystery of the small
Increase In cash resents In view of the heavy
accretions by reason of Subtreasury operations
remains unexplained. The continued outgo of
funds this week from the Subtreasury to the
market Las for this, reason failed to have much
Influence on sentiment.
Although rates for money this week have
continued low. Indicating easy conditions,
there has nevertheless been some calling of
loans, and consequent shitting, which of neces
sity causes some disturbance In the stock
market.
The continued rise In sterling exchange
toward tho gold export point has disturbed sen
timent, as fears are entertained that an out
ward movement of gold would stiffen money
rates bore. As a matter of tact, a small ship
ment of gold was made to Buenos Ayres on
Tuesday which was for London's benefit, and
which In effect represented a control by Lon
don of the International exchange. This move
ment of sterling exchange baa detracted from
the effect of the much-paraded London buying
of American securities.
Much mystery surrounds this movement In
New Tork It Is attributed to foreigners wh
carry their holdings with money borrowed In
New Tork. In London It Is attributed to Amer
icans who borrow money In London to carry
tfcelr holdings. Only very light shipments of
securities from New Tork to London can be
traced through the usual channels. It Is re
ported, on the other hand, that the high-priced
American railroad stocks have been coming
home In large volume. There has been some
demand for exchange to pay the Installment
due last Monday on the British war loan by
American subscribers, but the amount called
for Is not sufficient to account for the strength
of sterling. This strength Is the more remark,
able considering the favorable foreign trade
balance, which has again reached unprece
dented figures for March, according to the
results foreshadowed by the Government's pre
liminary figures. This and last week's shrink
age In the banks' surplus reserves has not
availed to check the upward movement of ex
change. Uneasiness over this development has
been a potent factor In causing hesitation In
the markot.
Business In bonds has been on a diminishing
scale, but prices have been better sustained
than In stocks. United States 4s dedlned M
per cent, the 3s. coupon, K. and do registered
Vn per cent In the bid price. The old 45 and 5s
advanced i per cent.

The selling of corn today was mainly In
small lots. A decline, which was started by
lower cables, wheat weakness and crop out

London Dally Mall.
Tho official residence of the First Com
moner tn the first empire on earth dots
not strike one with admiration. On the
contrary. No. 10 Downing- street, aa It la
called in t)io directory, la a distinctly out-of-date,
dingy, old building-, of that soul
depcessintr, flat-windowed type which pre
vailed when George- II was King. Never
theless, here It Is that the First Lord of
the British Nation's Treasury la 'entitled
to live at the Nation's expense. Here.
too, have frequently been held those Cab
inet Councils by which tho Nation's des
tiny Is alternately advanced and retarded.
I according as their decisions aro wise or
otherwise.
The first oeeunant of "No. 10" was thn
'celebrated Sir Robert "Walpolo. upon whom
and his successors In the offlco of First
Lord Qeorge II. conferred the building
as an offlclal residence "forever." Here,
too, came the much-maligned North,
whoso most abiding feat of government
was the loss of the American colonies.
Ho was followed by Pitt.- who seems to
have been one of the few Inhabitants who
really liked the place, and Perceval, who
weathered the stormy years of nls official
existence from Its sheltering portals.
Lord Liverpool and Canning both made
"No. 10" their homes, so, top, did Lord
Grey; butiafter his time It was compara
tively deserted until the time ot Disraeli,
who. .together with his great rival, Mr.
Gladstone, did much to resuscitate Its an
cient glories. On the other hand, and
latterly, Mr. "W. H. Smith, and Mr. Bal
four, havo only U'cd it for the transac
tion' of Treasury business.
