NEW YORK, April 20,-Tliu stock morket continued unsettled nnd hesltntlng today under tho Inllttence of the uncertainty sur rounding the Iron and sleel Issues. The undertone was distinctly llrm and the early period of weakness gave way to n slow and Irregular upward movement, doubtless dun In large part to the demand from the short 1n1e1c.11 10 covpr. 1 ne rates tor loans on 1 fttnrlta ttilti tii,inln- ,-. l,.i ll,,.,. I.,, I l.l I that the short Interest was iiultp large. The comparative quiet of the Iron and steel stocks nnd positive strength at 11 number of points prompted the covering of shorts and encoiirnged what slight buying for general account there was. Eager atten tion was llxed upon American Steel nnd Wire nil day In view or the seslon of tho company's executive committee. The move ment of the stock was feverish, the com mon nnd preferred often moving In con trary directions, ns though to cause a feel ing of uncertainty over developments In the company. Aside from this confusing manipulation dealings In the stock were apparentlv largply In thp hands of the room trnders, who circulated many rumors concerning the txecutlvo committee meeting. The com mittee's action was kept secret until after the cloe of the market With this disturbing factor kept In tho background n number of favorable lnllii ences wire nllnwed to have plav. The coal ers were all notably strong on favorable trade reports, the 'bituminous coal 11s well as the anthracite roads shnrlug In the movement.
