GURRY PRICES
Heavy Offerings of Stocks in
New York Markets.
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.
