NEW YORK, April 16. The conspicuous
feature of the stock market today was the
extreme dullness Into which It fell. Tne
downwsrd tenaency of the last few days
was checked and some recovery ensued.
The consequence, however, was a condi
tion bordering on stagnation. The demand
which put up prices was attributed largely
to account of the bear operators, who have
been attacking the maraet recently. That
their buying received small accession from
outside sources Is sulrkiently atteld by
the small figure of the astirreiWle sales for
the day. A large proportion of the meager
total was done in the last hour of the ses
sion, when, the rush to cover by shorts
gained considerable animation, making a
buoyant closing. There was slight reflec
tion of any outside events In the movement
of prices. The copper stocks had the ad
vantage of sharp rebound from recent de
pression by copper metal In the London
market and these shares, if American
Smelting be Included, were conspicuous In
the day s upward movement of prices. The
coppers kept the same stocks In their com
pany that have been conspicuous In all
the later speculation. The Harrlmans, the
Hills and Reading made up the overwhelm
ing preponderance of the dealings. United
Slates Steel also was dealt In In the cus
tomary proportion to Its huge shares In
bulk. The reaction late In the day gave
the usual Indication of a highly profes
sional market.
Money on call continued easy In spile of
some further large syndicate transactions,
Including a 130.ouo.or0 payment on American
.L'Enon convertible bonds yesterday and
a 6,00l,0(i0 payment on General Electric new
stock today. The effect upon the loan ac
.f ,ne banks on 0P of last week's

day and the quality of the offering's rather
better tban usual. Advices from eastern
markets were not very favorable, but the
local demand was reasonably uood, and
there was also a fair Inquiry for shipping ac
count, so that values were not a gieat deal
different from yesterday. On the fat, Unlit
and handy weight Metre the market was
active and fully steady. As usual, how
ever, all classes of buyers were discrimi
nating against the heavy stuff and In some
casrs bids and sales were as much as loc
lower.
The supply of cows and heifers fell short
of dealer s expectations and the market was
active and stronger from stait to finish.
Uood heifers were in many cases as much
as lOo hlKher than yesterday anil all of loo
higher than a week ago. Veal calves were
about steady and bulls, stags, etc., steady
to a shade lower.
There waa not a great deal of 11 'c to thn
stocker and feeder trade, but conditions
were pretty much the same aa on yester
day. Anything; that had the flesh and qual
ity commanded about steady prices, while
lightweight and off quality g-iades were
fretty close lo 10c lower and slow sale at
hat.
IIOG8 The supply of hogs was moder
ately large for a Tuesday, but the demand
was of liberal proportion and eastern ad
vices favorable, so that business opened out
in good seaavn on thu bala of a 2Vi6c ad
vance. All classes of buyers showed a
preference for the light and butcher
grades and Ihede showed the most advance,
while the heavier loads were nittw-r slow
sale throughout and tn no case showed
more- than a 2Vc advance. Early buyin
waa biisk and the bulk of the hogs
changed hands In good season. Latter
trains swelled receipts considerably and as
most of the urgent orders had been, Riled
the close was rather weak and on late ar
rivals most of thn early advance had dis
appeared. Tops broutrht 8i.6i today, as
against S8.42I yesterday, and the bulk sold
at ld.404-6.4o, aa against (6. 37 H'tf-0 yester
day. BHEKP-There was a fair run of sheep
here today, 8.6U) being reported In. The
Inquiry from packers contiuue liberal and
prices today were steady, at yesterday's
Lis; advance. A fair proportion of the run
consisted of shorn stink. Packers were
out after supplies ssaln. and as fast as
trains arrived the offejinRS were picked up
at good steady prices. Among sales today
were woolrd ewes at 16.26, the same as yes
terday, and a small load of wooltd
ewes at 86.35, a record price for
this market. Clipped wethers fetched
te 10 and clipped ewes 15), also very sat
isfactory fltrures. Wooled lambs also sold
at 8860, yesterday's extreme limit, and
other grades fetched practically unchanged
prices.
