NEW TORK, April 23. The speculative element In the stock market waa greatly disappointed today over the way In which prices were turned backwards from their upward course of yeaterday. The action today waa accepted as conclusive of the professional character of yesterday's rise and of the large proportion of covering by shorts In the buying which caused It. The casual encounter between Mr. Hill and Mr. Harrlman and the fact It gave rise to no outward anow of hoatlllty aeema to have been the Drtnclnal bnala foe the most of yeaterday a buying, which. It will be remembered, converged largely on the Hill and Harrlman railroad stocks. This seems to have been recognised today as rather an unsubstantial ground on which to base a renewal of a bull movement in stocks, although there was a show of excitement In Union Pacific, late In the day. Today's reaction did not by any means wipe out all of yesterday's very aubstan tlal gains. The movement mjght be bet ter described simply as a doelstlng from yesterday's operations for a rise. The effect Waa to throw the markot hack Inln the deep neglect which waa so notable last week. So far aa veaterdnv'a rise an. due to expectation of Improvement In the wneai crop news, tnere was ground for the reaction today In the disappointment of the hopes of abundant rains In the sec tions from which complaints have come or me need of them. The reality of this need was brought out In the weekly bul letin of the weather bureau. Its report of unaeaaonably cold weather and want of rain In much of the wheat country east of the Rockies emphasised the effect of today s report that the expected showers had proved scarify. There was some re . J.of ,he tone of apprehension over the Industrial outlook which haa weighed recently upon the market. Attention was attracted by a report of a large reduc tion In the working force by an Important western electric equipment company arid the offered explanation that the demand J?ro.(1uct wa" falling off on account or Its high price level. A rise In prlcea to a level dlacouraglng to consumption, nere sucn a condition becomes at nil general, constitutes the central force mak- l,in wiIl . . . ei' vi Burn s con- dltion hitherto have been few, but the whole financial world Is keenly on the alert to , today. -rong Influence on speculative sentiment.

The two days' supply "has been rather lighter than for Monday and Tues day of last week, but considerably heavier than for tne same two days a year ago. Tha fat cattle market opened out rather slow, with packers Inclined to bid lower on ail out tne good light anu nanny weignt beeves. It devedopeo later, however, that there were liberal outside orders tn the market and this fact, together with tha vigorous local demand, made trading more active and strengthened prices as the morning advanced, so that In some cases Values were as much as 6410c higher than yesterday. The heavy cattle were sin sale throughout, although hardly quotably. lower, There were only twenty or thirty loads of cows on the market and the local demand whs as tfood as It has been any time lately, while the number of outside orders was rather larger than usual. The result was a strong, active market and an early clear ance. Veal calves were about steady and the market for bulls, stags, etc, was un changed. In stockers and feeders the trade waa not rerv active, as fresh supplies were very limited. Prices were well sustained for de sirable offerings of all weights, but as usual the market was stow and draggy on the ordinary light weight or off quality cattle. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS.
