GENERAL DISTRUST AND HESITATION One Aggravating; t'aase Is Renewal f Lleoldatloa la Erie Utocks, With Aeate Weakness Resoltlng. NEW YORK, May IS. The stock mar ket was under pressure again today and prices grsvltated to a lower level In an Irregular way without much resistance. The depressing causes were the quite gen eral dletrust and hesitation reflected In the business world and the rapid chsnges tak ing place in the sources of the money market by reason of heavy gold outgo. A special SKOTavatlns: cause was the re newal of liquidation in Erie stocks with acute weakness resulting. Delaware St Hudson had to contend with a poor quar terly statement of earning-. Persistent rumors of governmental proceedings against the coal combination in contem plation are an Influence on the group. It Is probable also that the Interruption to coal traffic on the lakes by the strike of vessel men enters Into calculation. The firmer tone for United States Steel pre ferred carried It up a large fraction early and had a cheering effect on the general market. The weakness becsme generally circulated by midday. The Saturday Dana statement and the money outlook were much discussed, and nothing was found In the subject to, stimulate any advance In stock nrlces. The engagements of gold already msde for export were only added to by i&o.u. of which 15011.000 was for Thursday. The foreign trade statement for April shows a check to all our foreign exports In mer chandise and Increased value of Imports, which tends to restore somewhat the trado bslance In our favor, thus relieving the excessive pressure for exports or goto Rsllroari earnings. reDorts of traffic off!' dais and a reduction In the price of cop per failed to offer any help to the stock market and a banking failure in Macon had a disturbing effect on sentiment. United States Steel preferred again as serted Its Influence on the market by Its late advance of a point, with a rally in the seneral list.
