REW YORK STOCKS ASD BOXDS.
Saperstltloas Bllshtlr Relieved by
Early Galas la New Balldlnc
NEW YORK. April 23.-Members of the
New York Stock exchange were anxious
to Inaugurate the trading In their new
building with an upward movement of
prices, for the same reason that an ex
perienced nurse wishes to carry a new
born baby upstairs before it shall take a
downward trip. Professional traders In
storks are proverbially rich in this kind of
wisdom and they began preparations for
this morning's demonstration during to
day's session In the temporary quarters.
It was even surpected that some of yes
terday's operations on the Consolidated ex
change during the festivities Incident to
the dedication of the new Stock exchange
building was for account of members of the
"big" exchange, so-called, with the purpose
to further the proper start in the new
quarters this morning. Apparently a very
brief upward movement was sufficient to
satisfy the solicitous feeling that the
"hoodoo" which has popularly been sup
posed to hang over the market since the
exchange has been In its temporary quar
ters has been shaken off. At all events,
the rise In prices proved too tempting for
those long of stock to resist and they
began to relieve themselves of their hold
ings and to realize profits. The most not
able effect of this turn of affairs was the
profound dullness which it produced In
the mnrket, but a settling tendency of
prices also resulted, which gradually wiped
out the considerable gains established dur
ing the flrst hour and forced prices to ti
level generally below Tuesday's closing.
The Immediate cause of this decline was
not clearly perceptible, but it seemed due
In large part to a distrust of the lonr ?r
future of the money market and the back
ground offered by the possibility of further
extensive anti-trust campaigns.
Immediate influences were favorable to
an advance. The money market gains in
ease each day and six months' loans are
negotiated below 6 per cent without diffi
culty. New York banks are In the market
for commercial paper for the flrst time In
several months and they are making the
minimum rate of 6 per cent. Some large
loans sre reported for a nine months' period
at 6 per cent, while up to the present time
lenders have avoided extending their ac
commodations Into the autumn period of
Increased demand for money. It cannot be
said however, that confidence Is universal
tn the quiet passing of the autumn period.
The April returns of national banks to the
comptroller, so far as reported, chow a
lower percentage of reserves to deposits
than for either February 6, the data of
the preceding call, or for April 30, which
Is the nearest corresponding date last year
to the present call. This showing Increases
the disposition to be cautious In money
matters until the autumn situation clears
up.
Of today's special movements, that In
Reading was based on the ending of the
lockout. Rock Island showed evidence of
absorption attributed to Insiders. A sharp
Increase In Northern Securities on the curb
resulted from yesterday's declaration of a
dividend. Consolidated Gas jumped on the
defeat of the municipal lighting measure
In the state ' assembly. The sympathetic
effect of these advances was lost when the
stocks began to react. The market closed
dull and heavy. There was quite a demand
for the newer Issues of bonds, especially
the 4 per cents, selling; In the 80s and 90s.
Some of the higher grade bonds were
slightly lower. Total sales, par value,
$2,675,000. United States 2a and old 4s de
clined 4 per cent and the 3s i per cent.
The new 4s advanced hi, per cent on the last
call.

LONDON, April 23. Money was In good
demand today for repayment to the Bnnk
of Englandf which shorted the supply. Dis
counts were somewhat unsettled. Business
on the Stock exchanga opened fairly cheer
ful but inactive. The fact that lher was
no change in the Bank of England s rate
of discount had little influence on the all-
round dullness. Later, partly due to the
news from Somallland, consols, which
opened firm, reacted, but recovered. Thev
opened at 91 6-16, but sold at 92 on the
budget statement. Americans sold buoy
ant, but business was restricted. Atchii-o.i,
Topeka & Santa Fe, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific were the features. Prices
closed easier. The continued strength of
Argentines was the feature of the lifting
up of foreigners generally. The advance
of 6-16 today In bar silver was due to the
shortness of supplies and the firmness of
the Bombay tnasket.
The amount of bullion taken Into the
Bank of Kngland on balance tod-vy was
67,000. The sum of 32.000 was withdrawn
for shipment to South America.
Gold premium at Madrid. 26.50.
The weekly statement of the Bnnlr of
England shows the following changes:
Total reserve, Inoreased 1.653,000; circula
tion, decreased 442,000; bullion. Increased
1.211.000: other securities, decreased 1..
663,000; other deposits, decreased 678,00 1;
public deposits, increased 669,000; notes re
serve, increased 1,bo,ooo; government se
curities, unchanged.
The proportion of tne Bank of England a
reserve to llabtlity-.thls week la 61.86 per
cent, as compared with 48.10 per cent last
week. The rate of discount of the Bank of

HOGS There was not a very heavy run
of hogs on sal this morning, as quits a
string was consigned direct to local pack
ers. Chicago was quoted 6'10c lower, and
ss a result the market here opened a big
nickel lower. Later In the day buyers
took hold more freely and the market
strengthened a little for a time, but toward
the close the market was In about the same
position as at the opening. The situation
could best be described by calling the mar
ket generally a nickel lower. The bulk of
the medium weight hogs sold right round
17.00, with the lighter weights going from
that figure down. The good weight hogs
sold mostly from 17.0L to 97-05 with a few
prime loaos aoovs that ngure. J racing was
not very active at any time, but still the
bulk was disposed of In good season. Rep
