SHAEP BREAK EARLY IN DAY errs la Agalnat RIa tn Valaes and Manlpalatlon Aide Deellne Slight Rally nt Close. NEW YORK, Marcn 18.-The stock mar ket gave evidence todav of the nntin.iH operation of considerable force In the i-iit-cuiaiion. ine movement shifted so con stantly, however, and nreaenteri aur-h ih.m contradictions In some of Its demonstrations mm 11 nan me errect or greatly unsettling and confusing speculative sentiment and increasing suspicion until stocks were un loaded In haste. Tho strong recovery In yesterday late market waa held to be an infalllable sign that the bull leadership had let down prices on Monday and early yesterday merely for the purpose of shak. Ing off a weak speculative following and u. ""'vantage of buying haxk stocks which they had themaelvea sold out at a profit. The sharp break whlrh developed today after a moderate advance proved dis concerting to this view or the situation. Incidents In the flay' news were sgainat a rise In prices. The market allowed pri mary reslatanee, however, to tho principal of these, which was reduction in the New York Central dividend rate from a 6 to a 6 per cent basis. This action caused no great surprise as the original advice In the div idend rate was regarded. In the view of the as e"-lns; rather on the making attractive of new Issues in contemplation than on the rate of earnings of the com pany. Tho New York Central was one of the earliest to suffer from the heavy In roads on net earnings caused by Increase or expenses, and the maintenance of the dividend has been long In doubt. The ef reet or the announcement Is even more pro nounced on either trunk lines' stock, nota bly Pennsylvania, than on New York Cen- l- v!"""1'- JT1,e pffe,-t WR "Kgravated by the heavy decline In net earnings for Feb ruary reported by the Baltimore & Ohio. The authoritative statement carried In the Associated Presa dispatches from Washlng LonKC!Pa,rly ,1"fln,' " much discussed probability of a special message from the EiTf'ST1 re'atl" " legislative measures ?L lcr. .?v"..bw!n """J" of conferences at the White House for some time past. With that subject thus removed from the realm of mystery much of the occupation was gone for an element which has made use in the atock market of vague rumors of thl subject. The omission of the dividend on tho Union Typewriter stock, although that stock Is not dealt in on the Stork ex change, was of some effect In sentiment 1 an . ",v'dence of a prevailing tendency. The picking out of National I.ead for a Sham advance evIHentltr was . 1 Ing effect on the general list, and was based upon u sustained dividend record and the dlaproportlon of Its price to the dividend compared with other prominent Industrial stocks. The effect, however, was to ag gravate the general weakness rather than to relieve It The knowledge that men In fluential In the steel trade were In confer ence, in this city and Intimations that trade conditions here reported were not benrlng out recent prediction of betterment, weighed on tho market severely and made the moat suhatantial factor In the weak neaa which developed. The Illinois Central financial plan, although involving valuable privileges to stockholders at the present price of the atock. did not save that stock fully from tho general weakness. Final alight recoveries from the low point of the break were plainly due to hasty covering of short sales. " Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, 32,4SO,000.
