NEWS GENERALLY FAVORABLE NEW YORK, April 2. more cheerful hue, although In somewhat subdued fashion. yesterday we lar decline of yesterday. The subdued tone of the speculation may be justly atiribu- table to the firmer tone of (he market for call loan: rates for that form of credit ranging above 2 per ceit again today. Tho maon market situation exacts no arduou terms from borrowers and there is no ap- parent expectation that it will immediately. ;l‘hlui situation is distinctly altered, never- ol es: culty In finding lodgment. Gold continu :o g0 out in small parcels and the inflow o1 offs it. Forelgn exchange rates were lower today, however. Meantime the loan account continues to expand and additional issues of new mecurities are still in pros- pect. Yesterday's payment of an_ install- nent of subscriptions on the new Southern Pacific convertible bonds is glven credit for some of the absorption of avallable credits which s infiuencing the call money market. With less urgency on the part of the lenders in placing funde, there is not being injected into the speculation so muech artificial stimulant Bankers are { disposed to look more to conserving funds for future corporation loans. Leaders of finance counsel some caution about extend- ing expansion of values to a polnt where a pinoh for credits might cause a collapse that might work harm to the extension of projects of financing #till to be concluded. The intention to refund high interest bear- ing bonds of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy was announced today. The im- proved financlal position of many rallroad companies as i result of loans already Jidosd makes s strong sustaining Influence for values. Another Is found in the subsidence of apprehension over the grain crop position. This is partly due to the deflation of the speculative el ment in the price of wheat, which wa continued today. Cheering advices of tho condition of the growing winter wheat crop and of the spring wheat seeding were added to this symptom. The impression made by extravagant claims of depleted stocks of grain in the interest of speculation 18 th iminished. The reviving demand for pig fron ‘is considered of the most Importance A8 & barometer of basic conditions, and re- ports were in circulation today in the finan- cial distriet that the earnings of the United States Steel corporation for the first quar- ter, which are to be reported next Tues- day, would be found much better than has been estimated in current rumor. Favor. able reports pointing to a rising scale of consumption are sald to glve promise of overtaking . the rate of production during the present month. Spectal strength in the New York traction stocks was traceable to the reports of earnings coming from the recelvers in_whose hands. those properties are held. The expectation was expressed of an early agreement on a wage settle- ment between the anthracite miners and operators growing out of consultations still in_progres: The collection of favoring influences over- bore those of a.less promising aspect. No more was heard of k. H. Harriman's post- oned trip to Burope and the fears regard- ng his health, which were professed yes: torday. The adjournment of the Chesa- ke & Ohfo directors without the hoped- For ‘increase In the dividend did mot cause rious reduction in the price of the k. The announcement that the Pennsylv had repurchased the Norfolk & Western stock sald some time ago to its hankers during the helght of the anti-corporation agitation was considered highly significant of the Incréased assurance felt by corpora- tion managers regarding the tone of public septiment towards them. i The bond market showed notable breadth {and strength.
