At that point the decline was arrested by n report from Now York that llfty boatloads of wheat liail been disposed of for oxport.

Inicrcnt In Slock Speculation on n niniliilNlicd Scale. NEW YORK , April lO.-lntercst In stock speculation today wus on a diminished scale , the dealings aRgreRiitlnir a little over 600,000 shares. Prices moved In an uncer tain manner nnd a number of market net Io2sea resulted. There wns n flurry nt the opening ? nt which the specialties specially participated , a midday rally led by the Vnnderbllts nnd an afternoon decline. In which the grousers were prominent , The liquidation of Friday permitted a number of brokers' to return borrowed money and call rates were Kcnerally easier , Cfi7 per cent prevailing th sreater part of the day. Several million dollars of sterling loiins were made and call money closed 3ff4 per cent , Foreign bankers apparently n.ssumt'd that comparatively good prices were probable hero for money for n moro or ' .ess protected period. The rterlliiK loans were responsible for nn easier tone In the sterling exchange market , The recurrence of syndicate opera tions and the dotation of Industrials Is the basis of the expectation of fair rates at least for money. This week $2S,000.000 approximately Is to be. called In connection with the flotation of the American Pump company , the Clil- catro & Alton syndicate deal and subscrip tion payment on Manhattan , white the call for aulvcrlptlons Involving several million dollarn on the steel hoop combination has l > een postx ] > ned. Commission house busi ness fell oft considerably , but there was evidence of nn effort to stimulate Interest In the market In some specialties mraln , now that Friday's decline had wiped out weak holdlnRs * . Sonic Inrfre accounts were closed out today , causing the early decline. One b ock of 15,000 shares of Brooklyn Transit was sold Just after the opening. The Vanderbllt shares , which all advanced smartly , retained part of their rise. Gossip about subscription privileges advanced Great Northern preferred. Consolidated Gas broke S points , presumably because of the published Interview with a prominent politician favoring municipal ownership of that Industry. The selling of the grangers in the afternoon was dtir to apprehension as to the possible c'liarncter of the govern ment crop statement to be made known this afternoon. The market closed steady. Transactions in railway mortgages were rather light and while the market lacked a decided tone , 'the changes either way were only fractional. Total .sales , $2,235,000. United States 5s declined U per cent and the new 4s , coupon , j per cent in the bid Drlce. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says : The markets were Irregular today on closing before to morrow's settlement. Investment stock * were dull on dead money fears.
