NEW YORK , April 7. Today's sen a- tlonal stock market war markablp for great deoMnes that took place In practically nil specialties. Ix > s es of Importance re mained nt the end of the day , although the closing was strontr. The potential Influence behind today's plunge In prices was HIP money market , whre discrimination wan exerclfiil ng.iliuil tltt * Industrial securltlps. The Inability of pome large llrms to renew loans on these share1) as collateral made It necessary to saerlllco stocks nt the best prices obtaina ble. Call rates for money ranged from 5 to 15 per cent , but Ic-ft oft nt the lower llgum1. The forced sales by many commi - s lon houses lent renewed courage to the bears , who constant.'y found new spots of weakness. A number of money lenders on the lloor of the exchange refused to pay any attention to the bids madft by some brokers , who were known to be trading heavily In the Industrials. The calling In of some loans also helped lo arouse alarm nnd Induced general soil ing. The w aknefH of nvany standard slocks and bonds was due to no other cnuso asccrtalnnble except the selling of them by weak holders lo protect securities of le. s certain vnlu or lo secure funds to buy the shares which 1iad been most depressed in hope of profit on the rebound. Iximlon , which of lutp has been an unimportant fac tor In the dealings , bought upward of BO- nharcs of His decline hen. Whl'.o I'he ' so-i'.illed bull leaders appeared aputlHtic on the downward rupli of prices , he-avy buying prevailed , carrying with It the conviction that the buyers did not bell - ll vo the violence of the bear movement could last. This gradually checked the Ilerco onslaught on prices and reverses en sued. Much thought wn given to the probable aspect of tomorrow's bank statement. The rally was found In the offering. * of several million dollars to the loan crowd by nu Interest lately very prominent among the bull leader * ' . When prices were not far from the lowest a number of commission houses frply advised purchases whew the buyer could take , the securities outright or glvo substantial margins. Buying of this character had mudh to do with checking the rush to sell. Many Interests which had been out of Iho street for a long time thought the time opportune to repurchase , ns It appeared to be one of the bargain days which have de veloped at various times of recent years , This buying gave a considerable momentum to the afternoon rally , which embraced evcrvthlnc on the list and resulted In re ducing the net losses to very small proportions tions In some cases and In establishing slight advances In others. An Idea of the wide- movements \vlilt9i oc curred In given by the fact that although Brooklyn Transit broke 15M , yet the- net lessen on the day was only 51. Metropolitan lost 16 and gained 12i. . 'Manhattan yielded 9 , but regained K4 ; Sugar sagged 13'i. but only showed 2'4 net loss at the close ; Air Brake dropped 15 , but rallied 13Vi > ; American To bacco cased off 10 points , but figured for only 3 points net on the day : National Steel dropped 13U. but got back 9i of It ; People's Gns sagged 12U. but rallied stronslv nnd closed with 3 % net loss.

There were probably llfty loads or over of cornffd cattle on sale tind buyers could afford to take 41. little itlme about making selections. There appeared to be u feeling among buy ers Ihat the decline .here . yesterday WOH nut large enough and that prices here were too high as compared with other markets , for they started out with the evident Intention of pounding the market. Th ? early bids were Jower , salei-men as a rule repor.lin.ir them as lOc lower. Later on some of the llrwt bids were raised a little where the cattle happened to be handy weights und well finished. The market as a whole , how ever , was lower and as a rule lO loc lower than Wednesday. As was the case yesterday , cows and heifers were in good , active demand and the decline on bof iitecrs did not appear to make any difference with the cow market. Buyers of that kind of cattle were all at work In good season and practically every thing of any a ceo unit was cleaned up early at aUtidy prices. As was noted yesterday , nnd In fact all the week , fat bulls were very dull , slow and weak. Holders of such bull's found It no easy matter to unload. On the other hand good stock bulls arc good sell- eri1 , as there seems to b a steady demand for that kind. Veal calves sold at steady prices. As the week drawr 'toward ' a cloie the feeder and slocker market usually experi ences a slackening up In the demand , so that It was not to be expected that buyers would take hold with quite as much eager ness as they did earlier In the week ; still they took hold all right this morning and about everything In the line of stock cuttJe changed hands In good season , and at prlcew as high as any time. Some yearlings and calve * brought J5.15. The feeder buyers also took Homo of the warmed-up cattle at prices not much different from those paid yesterday. Representative sales : KKKV STEERS. No. Av.
