MOVH.HI.NTN OF STOVK.S AMI IIO.NHS. Mnrket riinnge friiin lliioiin( Elntloii mill Almonl C'ollnpii'N, NEW YORK, April 23.-ToUay's stock market presented ev-n more variety than that of yesterday, although the high record of transactions established yesterday was not disturbed bv today's business. Dealings wero on a smaller enio than yesterday. In fact It was not until tho urgent selling movement of the last hour had gained full headway that the market presented any thing like tho animation which character ized It yesterdav. Speculative sentiment ran over ptcttv niudi the whole gamut ot emotions from that of buoyant elation dur ing the morning to something like collapse In the afternoon Although tho market closed at net de clines throughout, extending In vomo cases to 3 or I points, or even more, there was a tlmo during the morning when the level ot prices was materially higher than yester day and tho market had tho appearance of a full resumption of tho bull speculation. The high-priced railroad stocks continued to bo tho principal subject in tho specula tion, especially St. Paul, I'nlon Paelllo and Southern Paclllc. Atchison preferred moved upward nnd there wero points of strength among the southwtydcrns, Burlington anil Northern Paclll'3 were, strong and held hot ter than the average of stocks Iu the late break. Among tho specialties Amalga mated Copper recovered quite vigorously from yesterday's depression and United States Steel stocks made a show of strength for tho llrst lime In several days. These were the principal centers of the rally strength In Mio market, but their Influence was radiated pretty generally through the list. It would bo somewhat dltllcult to as sign causo for tho early strength or the late weakness, as it seemed to depoud lltllu on news of the day. The motives of tho traders w?ro confined for the most part to fears or suspicions of what others wero doing. Powerful sunnort and violent uintilniila- tlon wero resorted to In the earlv denllmis and tho success of these measures In turn ing prices upward caused a heavy coveting movement among the huge short Interest, which was formed veslerdiiv. Them worn Intimations during the morning that an mu cin! statement rocardlnc; tho Hiirllncton deal would bp given out later In the day hiki a rumor wns current uiai it would no round to provide nn exchange of bonds to tho value of ISO per cent and a cash pay ment of $20 per share, together with a ensh payment ot $2 per share for the next divi dend. Tho report that tho price, of steel rails was to be advanced to $2S per ton was the cause of tho advance In United States Steel, although professional maiilntitatloii was much In evidence, nn It wns hi all parts ot ino manteis. i no announcrmeni over night of an engagement of $l,noUHJO In gold for export seemed to have lltlo effect on sentiment and reports were set nfloat that largo blocks of government bonds wero held ready to orter for redemption, which pro vided gold for any export demand without nffectlng tho money market. Tho source ot mis avaiuiDio supply or government bonds was not disclosed. Sterllnir exelnrnirn nlso yielded slightly under tho offerings against me gout snipmcut. Probahly its recovery later In tho day was a large Influence in tho renewed uneasiness, manifest over tho money outlook. The suu-trcasurv Is acaln takltiB monev from the market and New York exchange In tho Interior has fallen back to a dis count. Indicating a cessation of the sunnlv of funds, from that source.
