April 9.-The unexpected announcement of the decision In the North ern Securities case today threw the stock market Into commotion and put a sudden end to a dull but prosperous upward couevp of prices. There have been vague fears for rome time recently that the stock markets would have to face a reverse In an un favorable decision In this case, but anrletv ! had apparently subsided, and It was clearly not one or tnose aeveiopments which wns holidays had naturally soma Influence, aa many of the room contingent apparently preferred coveting to carrlng their con tracts on the short side over until Monday and risk possible unfavorable climatic de velopments. The buying was accelerited around midday by moderate estimates for tomorrow's receipts at leading southern points and shortly after noon the high level of the oay and season was reached when May aold at 10.44c. July, however, selling no higher than 9.98c, was at this time 1 point under the previous high price. From this level there wsa slight reaction toward the close, due to realizing, and the market waa finally steady at net lt? polnta higher. Total salea of futures estimated at 150,000 bales.

The settlement of ttie vessel strik strike had not much effect on the market. Cash market was unchanged. nfr character of the decision and the tin day, while the stock markets of the world are closed for the Easter holidays. The banks have already gained since Friday $741,000 on sub-treasury operations and they are estimated to have received from the Interior something over $1,000,000 In the same time. In view of this prospect the firmness of call money today was rather Ignored, being attributed to the special demand to carry over the triple holiday. Late in the day, after the market had been broken by ths news of the Northern Se curities decision, the money rate flurried to 10 per cent, sterling exchange advanced tieveral polnta and discounts rose in Lon don, leaving the future course of our money market open to some question. A violent recovery In raw copper In London led to a large buying, of Amalgamated here. There were signs of distress among the shorts, In Sugar and there waa a notable demand for the Pacifies, St. Paul and the steel stocks. All these things helped to give tone to the early market. The collapse after the North ern Securities decision became known was correspondingly violent.

Pennsylvania and New York Central were also heavily sold, the latter touching 184. a new low level, on the present movement. The whole mar ket rallied substantially at the last on covering by shorts and closed dull but steady. The notice of appeal In the North ern Securities case was cited aa an argu ment to allay apprehension, but the sweep- There is some better demaad for kiln dried corn than of late Market waa Influenced by the atatement made bv Price Current that there was more disposition to Increase the corn area than the oat area.

Buyers were all out early, and trading was active from start to finish, so that an early c.earance was mads. Tha demand for beer, steers, in psriuiuui, was active, and the prices paid were etronger. The peuer graaen coum be quoted bujiuc nigoer, iiiu o tuuiii with the first of the week the genersl market is ltt20c higher and good heavy cattle are as much as 25c higher. There has been more Improvement so far this week on heavy than on light weights, as the heavy cattle have been selling low as compared with the light weights for some little time. The quality of the offerings today was the best of the week and as a result the market on paper looks a good Thehcgowrmarket was active, but prices did not show any particular change. Buy era all seemed to have liberal orders, but they were not willing to pay more money for them. Sellers aa a rule were satisfied with the prices offered and trading was active, everything being out of first hands In good season. Bulls, veal calves and stsgs all sold at tTherePwaa"'a fair sprinkling of stockers and feeders In the yards, and the better rradee sold freely at yesterdays prices. The commoner kinds were more or less neglected, the ssme as they hsve been all ih. week but there was not much change In the prices paid.
