BEARS ARE AGGRESSIVE Selling Is Iargely Speculative Profit Taking Government Crop Re port Awaited With Interest. Steel Is Heavy. YORK. April . The demand for etocks today encountered an amount of of ferings that overbore the balance and carried the price movement backward. The extent of the recent, advance evidently was. in it lf, a main Incentive to much of the sell ing:. which was speculative profit-taking in large part. The professional bean were alert tot take advantage of th wavering appear ance of the market and to help on th de cline with short celling and with offering down prices. The addition from dav to day of new stocks to the list which have risen above the prices touchVd Jn the advance in the latter part of last year bringe the market to a stage which is recognized aa the crittcaJ point between the alternatives of reaction or further advance. v All previous purchases thus- come in for a profit on any further advance, with an in centive in consequence to sell. Kew forces of Improvement must be relied upon to carry the advance through such a stage. The aver age price of the most active stocks on Mon day reache about the level touched on the sustained advance which set in last year af ter the Presidential election. Some of the most conspicuous stocks have risen well above that and some are far short of it, but the averages, as usually computed, are nearly the same. New Impelling factors were" not many or important today, but the growing hesitation about carrying the speculation forward left the market without sufficient sustaining power to hold prices. The fact that the pres ent week in the stock market will end on Thursday added to the disinclination to ex tend speculative commitments. Tomorrow's Government crop report is awaited with keen interest and is expected to have an influence on the speculation if any decisive information Is given of the Spring condition of the Winter wheat crop. With wheat and cotton both at top prices for the season and with rumors not lacking of crop damage to account for this, the stock mar ket is compelled to take some notice of the subject. Beyond the coming three' days' holiday looms up a possible Supreme Court decision on Monday in the commodities clause test caee. The opening arguments in the Gov ernment's suit against the Standard Oil Com pany at St. Louis contained no matter suf ficient for appraising any change in Govern mental policy in the prosecution of corpora tions which might have resulted from the change in executives. Nothing was offered, however, to foreshadow any great leniency, such as has been assumed in the dlscueslon of prospects from the financial standpoint. The matter was commented upon in connec tion with the day's stock market. ifeme very unfavorable views -f the steel trade position was heard and the heavy tone or l. nited States Steel was of sympathetic effect on the whole market. Bonds were Irregular. xTotal sales, par vaiue, o,d.s..ouu. United States bonds wert. unchanged on call. ClfOSINQ STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing - saies. lgn. Low,; Bid.
