ctflc Down With It.
NEW YORK, April 11. Speculation In
stock wa all but suspended today and
prices barely changed. Almost the only
business don. consisted of the evening up
of accounte In preparation for tho Easter
holldsya In advance of which trader, did
not desir. to embark upon fresh ventures.
Pennsylvania was one of th. few stock
which displayed any activity. It broke
nearly a point when th. new. cam. tbat
the directors hsd arranged dennltely for a
1 per oent allotment to shareholders. This
oSsrlng will be th. nrst In seversl years to
be made direct to the stockholders, instesd
of ta underwriter syndlcste. Th last
previous ottering direct to shareholders met
with Indifferent success and traders. In view
of this fact. Interpreted today' offering aa
a bearish factor. t
Missouri Pscinc which broke with Penn
sylvania rallied before the close ar.d ended
the day with a slight gain. Mora than 1D0.-
shares of this slock have been sold in
(he Isst fortnight and th source of th.
liquidation rem. Ins a puxxle. The February
report of the road shows thst while gross
earnings fell off H77.vo. the shrinkage In
net was kept down to by reason of
reduction of operating expenses.
Th. weekly reviews of Iron trad. Indicated
that In point of new business th. msrkets J
ror nnisnea materials ana lor pig iron nsvw

January.
Th bond market was again relatively
more activ than th stock market. The
abundance of cheap money Im the main
factor In maintaining a moderate demand for
buads. which Is expressed In private ssles
each day. aa well aa In the sustained volume
of trading on th exchange.
Khort time money was somewhat esslsr.
The banks continued to gain on th direct
