NEW YORK. April 9 The bewilderment
In which the financial world has been
groping for over a week, over the Erie
problem was amply explained by the dis
closures over night of the extent 4
which the principals In the woiklng out
of the problems had been confused In their
intentions and open to the failure 01 me
whole project. Wall street has clung to a
conviction that the Erie's hankers must
have safeguarded their plan by measures to
take care of unsssenllng notes in addition
to havlnor assured themselves of the awsent
of a sufficient number of the note holders
to leave only an unlmpnrlant residue to be
cared for. Any assumption that such pre
cautionary measures had been neglected
nave been met hy the assertion that a oe-
slre to force a receivership for the company
would be a fair Inference from such a state
of affairs. Yet the event proves that such
was exactly the state or affairs ana ine
Impression made by the knowledge of such
an attitude on the part of the financial
interest which has been accredited with
freatest teal and Influence In the conserva
lon of affairs was not pleasant. This im
pression was strongly offset by the deter
mination with which means were tendered
for the rescue of the Erie situation by JK.
H. Harrlman. Here also there was ground
for some mystification over motives as be
tween the aggressive preservative attitude
of Mr. Harrlman towards a property In
which the Morgan Influence Is recognised

Indifference of tho Morgan interests at to

brance of bitter contests In the past

added test to the canvass of the politics
of finance which might be supposed to lie
back of these developments. That the Erie
waa saved from a receivership and that
the advance of relief funds expressed con
fidence, not only In the property, but In
the financial prospect In general were the
results summed un to be accepted from the
episode as a whole.
The effect In the stock market foe tha
day, however, wss of slow growth and was
not uninterrupted. The uneasy wavering
of the prloe movement might be regarded
as a fair reflection of the conflict of
opinion shown In the development of the
Erie settlement. Depressing Influences were
another decline In the London copper market
ana renersiea assertions that a eut In
prices of steel products was In contempla
tion. United States steel wss affected by
those reports, and did not share the rally
In prices in spite of the renewed assurances
from the chairman of the board of cor
poration, Issued In a public statement that
no reductions in prevailing prices of steel
are contemplated. The rise In Brooklyn
Transit wss attributed to Its increased
prospects for traffic by reason of the de
feat of the Albany bill attainst race track

sharply, partly Influenced by remittances

CATTLE For a Thursday, there was a
very fair run of cattle, though receipts were
K. nA . i nk .-... A
j iiu 1111 mis rA.r.Bi, . uc 11 out,
whole, was notably alow and dull . and en
tirely devoid of new or Interesting features.
Cows and heifers seemed to be In very
fair demand and they were the first cattle
to sell. As the offerings were far from
large, the most of the oow stuff changed
hands In very fair season In spite of the
fac". that the market was not active. The
prices paid did not show any material
change as compared with yesterday, so that
the market was quotably steady.
A usual the latter part of the week,
there waa not very much inquiry for feeders
or stock cattle. Fortunately there were
very few cattle of that description In first
hands. Speculators had plenty on hand.
The foellng was not . lnuclt different, than
yesterday, certainly no stronger.
Beer steers were tne last cattle to attract
the attention Of the buyers. The packers
did not appear to be In very urgent need
of cattle and shippers were also backward
about taking hold. All buyers, without ex
ception, started out bidding prices mat
were sharply lower than yesterday and the
trade was a drag all tha morning.
Some or the most desirable nanay
weights did not show so much loss, but
the general run of cattle were luc lower
and In some caseb salesmen were quoting
It aa much as lirjjl&c lower than yesterday.
It was midday before anything like a
clearance was effected.

SHEEP Receipts of sheep at this point
were not very large, but advices from other
selling points continue discoursglng. East
ern markets are proving very disappointing
and are In their turn weakening western
markets. The fact that the market at this
point hat been high aa compared with
eastern markets haa tonded to make pack
era rather slow buyers.
The trade this morning did not present
any especially new or Interesting features
being generally slow and dull, with prices
lower In spots and higher In spots. It
might best be described ss a alow and un
4 venly steady market. In aplte of the dull
ness prevailing the most of the offerings
changed hands In fair season In the morn
ing. Quotations on Iambs: Good to choice
