XEW YOniC STOCK MARKET. Uncertainty Tleennllnp: Iron and Steel Still a Depressing Factor. NEW TORK. April 20.-The stock market continued unsettled and hesitating today, unuer the Influence of the uncertainty surrounding the Iron and steel Issues. The undertone was distinctly firm, and the early portion of weaa cess gave way to a slow and Irregular upward movement, doubtless due In large part to the demand from the short Interest to cover. The rates for loans on stocks this morning on the floor Indicated that the short Interest was quite large. Tho comparative Interest of Iron and steel stocks and the positive strength at a num ber of points prompted the covering of shorts and encouraged what slight buying for general account there w-as. Eager attention was fixed tipoi American Steel & Wire all day. In view of the session of the company's executive com mittee. The movement of the stock was fever ish, and common and preferred often moved in contrary directions, -as though to cause, a feeling of uncertainty over developments In the company. Aside from this contusing manipu lation, dealings In the stock were apparently largely In the hands of the room traders, who circulated many rumors concerning the execu tive committee. The action was kept secret until after the close of the market. With this disturbing factor kept In the back ground, a number of favorable lnnuences were allowed to have play. The coalers were all .notably strong on favorable trade reports, the soft-coal, as well as tho aathradto roads, shar FINANCIAL NEWS ing In the movement. The local traction stocks and Sugar moved upwad In a decidedly ir regular manner, and Texas & Pacific. Canada Southern, New York Central and Pennsylvania were also points of strength. The good crop weather was a. sustaining Influence with the grain-carrying roads. Rumors still continue to circulate of new railroad combinations and of prospects of dividends on railroad stocks, but they have no definite authority. The banks seem assured of an Increase In cash tomorrow, having gained nearly $4,000,000 on Subtreasury operations and over $500,000 on the express movement with the Interior. There Is rather more mystery than usual sur rounding the Item of loans. The liquidation Indicates loan contraction, but the declining scale of Interest rates has prompted the banks to place as large loans as possible. Th process of loaning on sterling collateral, which has proceeded during the week, will undoubt edly be reflected In the statement, aa It bss been in the sterling market during the week. Actual sterling rates advanced 54c, and posted rates 5rC today, and are near the gold-export point, though the experts are engaged In their usual wrangle as to Just what figure repre sents that point. Call money loaned aa low as 2 per cent today. The bond market was leu active today, and prices were well. held. Total sales, $1,830,000. United States 5 declined 54 per cent In the bid price. BONDS.

Wheat traders climbed Into the pit at the otwnlng of the cession with their views concerning the value of wheat lowered from 5e to 54c This was dus to the tact that Argentina last week shipped 3.T50.000 bushels, that cables were lower, snd the weather conditions remained the fast friend of the crop. Having given this exhibition of being awake, the speculative trade proceeded to slumber. Nesrly the whole session the fluc tuations were very narrow. The cash busi ness was fair 150,000 bushels here for direct export. New York put the expert drrasnd at 30 loads, and Philadelphia reported 35 loads. This had a steadying Influence, which held to the end. The rpread between May and July widened to 154c. and there wis considerable changing. The crowd sold May and took July, while ele vators In a moderate way reversed the action. May opened 543540 lower at C55i3C55Jc to 05c, advanced to 03543C3c and clowd Vie down at, C554c. July began the session e lower at O0S8CC54C to CCJic touched CCc and cloeea a shade down at 66c In corn the market largely belonged to the scalpers. Trade was quiet and narrow. The opening was from 54c to 54e under yesterday's closing figures, but the clow showed a part of this recovered. May closed lie down. July. HtrViC depressed. The provision market was weak and lower, affected by weaker holdings, the lower grain market and liquidation. Outride selling was a feature. Jlay pork closed 10c down. July closed 15c lower.
