MUCH THREATENED LIQUIDATION AVERTED Valors Rise Mlahtlr with le- creaie of Offerings and Close Is Steady Roads Are Irresjnlar. NEW YORK. April 3ft The stock mrlrt made an effective stand today against the forces tlm have been pressing severely upon It ever since the San Francisco dis aster. The mr.rket's bad period was during me inn miur, wnen neavv llnuldation had to - he absorbed In continuation of last week's movement. Vigorous measures were persisted in. however, snd h lirm additional offerings which came from the marsei were taken without allowing prices to break. With the success of the sunnoit once established the buying demand started up irom tne uncovered short Interest. Buy ing on a large scale was attributed to bear account for some of the stocks that suf fered most acutelv in Inst week's slutnn. The success In arresting the decline In prices also had the effect pf averting a large amount of threatened liquidation. It was feared that the forced selling last week of weakened speculative accounts by reason of the exhaustion of margins and inaoiuiy to anora additional supplies would cause other similar accounts to come tumbling after today. It was the percep- lion ot tins oanger tnat prompted the vig orous suportlng measures by the powerful Ranking Interests and capitalists with vital Interests In preventing the market from falling Into demoralisation. The time seemed propitious for supporting the mar ket because the liquidation on account of Insurance companies declining to realise on their assets tended to decrease as prices got away from a desirable level. Calls for additional margins, sent out at the end of last week, had the Inevitable consequence of bringing in selling orders from widely scattered sources this morning. But there were no such tinwleldly Individual nccounts to let go as those of some of the great speculative plungers which were hurled Into the market last week and which broke prices. By the end of the first hour It was known that all clearing sheets had passed the Stock exchange clearing house successfully, thus demonstrating that no failures were caused by last week's break In prices. The volume of business contracted con siderably on the recovery and speculative sentiment toward a rally showed a degree of reserve and hesitation. Effective sup port has so often been followed on vsrlotis occasions since the San Francisco losses by renewed liquidation that board room operators were on the constant lookout for evidence that long stockB were coming out again. The doubt whether the necassary measures of adjustment to the San Fran cIhco losses had been completed was rep resented in this suspicious attitude of spec ulation. The longer the rally held, the more the suspicious attitude felt towards it. There was not Important change in the actual conditions beyond the pro gress made In the necessary adjustment of the Sun Francisco losses, the measures remaining to be taken naturally decreasing In the proportion of those that have al ready been accomplished. The stream of currency movement to San Francisco out of New York continued on a large scale today, but is offset by a still larger stream of Incoming gold imports. London discounts hardened today in re sponse to the demand upon that center for gold and a rise In the Bank of England discount rare is expected In consequence. The Paris bourse showed no lack of con fidence In h outcome of May day In the French capital. The upward movement gathered force as the absence of renewed liquidation on the advances whs perceived and considerable recovering of last week s declines were made before the close. Last prices were' but little below the best. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,090,000. , United States bonds were all unchanged on call. Quotations on stocks today were as rol lows: gain. High. Low. Close. Adams Etphim : Amalgamated Copper ... Amartcsn C. A K American C. A F. ptd... American Cotton Oil Amarlcan Cotton Oil p(d.

The arrivals Consisted very largely of beef stoers, there being only a moderate sprinkling ot cow stuff and hardly anything In the way of atockers and teeders. Everything seemed to be against the sell ers of beef cattle, all the feature of the market tending toward the bear side. In the first place there was the heavy run; then advices from other market points were all lower. Besides that It was a wet and rainy day and buyers were very slow In getting out Into the yards. When they did they were Inclined to go slow and wait until advices were obtained from other market points. In consequence of all these adverse circumstances the market opened very slow and it was after 10 o'clock before any business of consequence was transacted. As to values the market might be described s weak to 10c lower than the close of last week. Cows and heifers, being In more mod erate aupply. Old not feel to quite such an extent the bear influences as did beef steers. In some cases sellers who hap pened to have cows that buyers needed to fill special orders reported that they were able to secure steady or very close to steady prices. Aside from that, how ever, the general tendency of the mar ket was lower and the day's trade might be described as weak to a little lower than Stockers and feeders were In extremely light aupplv. there being almost nothing answering to that description In sight. In fact, the offerings were the smallest for a Monday that they have been In, some time. Although the weather was against the trade the feeling was that a few loads of desirable kinds would have sold at about ateady prlcee In spite of the weakness prevailing In the other divisions of the msrket. , Representative sales: At.

I 80 1 U0 to 3 64 6 16 SHEEP The week started out with a very fair run of sheep and lambs, the arrivals being somewhat in excess of a week ago, but not nearly so large as two weeks age. The quality on an average was very fair, there being aonie tigut good stuff on sale. There was a good, active buying demand on the ,part of local packers and the mar ket waa In a good, healthy condition. It might be described in brief as a good, steady market, with the tendency. If any thing, a little stronger. In fact, some sales looked higher thsn last week. Right good wooled lambs sold up to 37.10. which was higher thsn anything brougnt last week. The Olbson shorn lambs sold at $6.70, the same ss last week, but those here today wer. a little lighter In weight. There were no wethers or yearlings, at least none of aiy consequence, on sale, but the Houston shorn ewes brought $6.00. Practically everything In the way of good killers changed hands at an early hour In the forenoon. Feeder buyers were In evidence this morning, as usual, and thev stood right up along the side of packers In bidding. They bought Choice wooled ewes at $ 00. They also bought lambs to shear at $8.66. It goes without saying that the market as a whole was In very satisfactory con dition.
