REACTION

New Farther Material Decline
Demand of Rnort
satisfied.
NEW YORK. April 30 -Th shrlnksge of
hslf in the volume of today's stock market
from that of yesterday was significant of
abatement In the demand for stocks. The
resctlonary tone, at the same time, was
more pronounced than yesterday, most of
the day sale being effected at price be
low the closing of the day before, and last
prices showing material declines. It Is well
understood that the disclosures In connec
tion with the latest stock exchange failures
have served to force covering by the bears
to an unusual extreme, many lenders of
stock making peremptory demands for their
return hy borrowers for delivery against
short ssles. These disclosures have had a
disquieting effect on the speculative tem
per also owing to the fears that they would
discourage operations by the general pub
lic through commission houses. The prac
tice by commission houses of short sales
In a stock which their customers are long
on I discountenanced, and the suggeatton
that some of, the recent short ooverlng was
of this character ha caused an unpleasant
Impression. The net result has been an
unusual exhaustion of the short Interest
and thla waa held largely accountable for
the drooping tendency of prices todsy
Of the more active factors, the most Im
portant was th rapid accumulation of Idle
freight cars reported by the American Rail
way association's committee. The number
of these on April 16, 875.770, is pronounced
the greatest total In the history of lAmeri
can railroading, having risen from 297,042
on March 16, when Increased freight move
ment had been bringing additions I cars into
service and compailng with 343,928 on Febru.
ary 6, the highest figure touched In the de
pression following the panic. So emphatic
sn evidence of renewed trade reaction did
not pass unheeded In speculative circles.
Amongst the less tangible influences In
the day's market waa an Impression sought
to be created that powerful banking and
financial interests which have supported
the market had achieved the desired pur
pose of securing the underwriting of pro
posed bond Issue snd saw no further ne
cessity for fostering the rising tendency
of prices. This view obtained added force
from the action of new Issue on the out
side, where they are dealt In, when and If
issued. Quotations for the Pennsylvania
Consolidated 4 per cent bonds and the In
terborough Rapid Transit notes both re
acted In that market. Reading's poor re
port of March earnings affected one of the
conspicuous leader In the recent market
movement. On the other hand, the state'
ment of March earnings of the Harrlman
roads gave signal evidence of the effective
measures of economy In force, which over
reached the fall in gross earnings In the
cases of Southern Pacific and went far to
meet In the caae of Union Pacific. Copper
receded In London again. Crop news was
ravorante. Tlie weak return of the Bank
of France hardened the open market dis
count rate there, and lowered the Iondon
exchange, thus adding to the pressure for
gold In New York. London exchange here,
however was heavy although but little
ciiHttged in price.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, k.iiK.ooo. rnlted States bonds were
unchanged on call.

CATTLE Receipt thi morning
num
bercd only ninety-four car, but that was
not a bad run tor Thursday, as compared
with recent weeks. The supply, as has
been the case practically every day this
week, consisted largely of beef steer.
Buyer started out talking lower prices On ,
neei steer tnis morning ana lor a time tne
trade wa a little dull. When the market
wa once warmed up, the trade became
more active, especially on the handy light
weight cattle, which were all disposed of
In good season at steady prices, a com
pared with yesterday. Big, heavy cattle,
on the other hand, were a little bit sticky,
and they were not only a little hard to
move, but holders in some rases, at least,
felt that they were not doing quite a well
a might have been done yesterday. How
ever, taking tbe market a a whole, there
waa no very great change.
Cowa and, heifers were In light supply,
snd they sold freely at prlcea steady to
strong, everything In that line being cleaned
up very oon after the market opened.
There were only a few stock cattle or
feeder In sight, and they did not show anv
very material change. The market aa a
rule was quoted steady by both buyer and
sellers.

SHEEP There wa a fir run for Thurs
day, but the quality on an average was not
overly good, thst is. there were not many
really good killers. The market, as a whole,
was without any new or interesting fea
tures. It might best be described as a
slow, steady market, without any very note
worthy change In any direction. Most
everything waa cleaned up in fair lesson in
the morning.
While the sheep market, st this point
as hss been previously noted In these
columns, Is larking In life and snap, the
market being quoted slow every day, still,
prices have held up remarkaniy wen com
pared with other markets. Oood stuff has
sold all the week right close up to Chicago'
