MM A NEW YORK, April 20.—The strength of Reading was the principal sustaining influence in today's stock market. With- out that prices apparently would have sagged, le# to take profits were the order of the in the majority of this list. This has come to be such a usual thing on Tuesdays that the trading ele- ment has adopted it as ' precedent and works on the short side of the market when Tuesday arrives. The oaspecial strength of Reading was the outgrowth Partly of the persistent rise in price of entral Railroad of New Jerse: Reading fs a large holder.

The advance in Delaware, Lack- anna & Western and the seeming em- barrassment of its directors to find a plan for suitable distribution of the company's surplus, has a_stimulating effect on all the coalers. One report that arises in connection with this movement is that the plan for meeting the possible confirma- tlon of the commodities clause of the Hepburn law will provide for some distiie bution of assets among stockholders in the anthracite companies. The sympathetic nature of the strength of this group and of a miscellancous collection of specialties was not convinc- ing and the general list did not, at anv time, respond. While the demand in the general list failed to respond, there was esitation about selling. The consctjuence was a_considerable reduction in the vol- ume of the market's activity outside the coalers and a narrow price movement. | The selling became more conspicuous lute n the day. The highly speculative na- ture of the ordinary Reading movement and the doubtful character of some of the speclalties brou, forward into prominence caused thelr influence to wane. Part of the repression on the mar- ket was due to an apprehension that a ht be approaching In the wheat Growing disapproval of the speculative movement in wheat is neard in the financial district, but a sudden collapse {n wheat would not be withou power of disturbance in other markets.

The recelpta for the week to date are de- cidedly short of the record of last week, but are still about up to the average. As was, the case yesterday, the suppiy of stockers and feeders was comparaiively light and as there was a good demand the market opened first on that kind of cattle. Prices paid were steady to a little stronger on some. of the best kinds. One bunch of Wyoming hay-fods reached $6.75, the. high- est price paid so far this vear.for western fecdsra. Bverything in sight was soon dis- posed of, the trade as a whole being very satisfactory to the selling interests. Cows and heifers were In_fair demand and they sold in good season, though the macket was at no time very active. The best heifers sold up to $5.60, with spayed Wyoming hay-fed heifers at $6.20 and $5.30. Beef steers ware slow scllers all day long. picked out here and there a few that just happened to suit at prices that were close to steady, but, on the other hand, they were bidding as muoh as 10@lic lower on other cattle, and a good many had to sell that way.
