W sentiment stock YORK, May 2-The speculative #s reflected in the action of the market underwent some unsettlc ment in early part of last weck, but price recoveries later indicated a reinstate- ment of eonfidence. It is quite generally recognized that the present position is much to the money situation and the w ering of prices was traceable to this in fluence to u large extent. The close of the preceding week had presented a hardening In the call money rate to 3 per cent. the higheat since the first week In January of this year. The bank statement made it clear that the demand for credits in con- nection with the syndicate subscriptions to new bond issues had encroached on supplies to an extent that had made bankers more cautious fn extending accommodations for speculative purposes. The withdrawal of 82,000,000 gold for shipment to France polnted 10 4 new force of depletion of banking sup- Dplfes. At the sume time it was known that priparations must be made for financing the May 1 payments and it was supposed that an advance in the call money rate dur- ing the week might be expected. Smaller Stocks Affected. The effect was manifest, especially in a number of stocks of comparatively small volume and subject to control by stock market pools, which had been violently moved upward In the recent past. With- drawal of support left them open to quick declines of small sales. Suepicion was aroused towards the market as a whole by this evidence of artificlal conditions in special stocks. In some instances there were blunt denfals made by officlals of rumors of intended dividend increases, which had been used in forcing up prices in such cames. The final stages of the transfer of soverelgnty i1 Turkey caused some uneasiness abroad which was reflected in the local market. A heayy tone developed in the coalets, who pointed out that ® large surplus of antora- cite remmined 10 be eold in the event of the expected settlement with the miners of & wage agreement. The revival of the tarift revision measure contributed to the depression. Another factor agalnst the murket was the unfavorable weathes ditions for the wheat crop, influence from the renewed price of wheat, Money Market A powerful factor in prehensions was the casing of the money market. The Increased requirements here hade the effect of gttracting tunds from nutside sources and of putting a stop to the gold export movement. Not enly did the call loan rate recede, but time loan rates after being marked up a fraction, reacted. The steck market was prompt to respond to this cvidence that the- easy condition of the money market was not to be dis- turbed immediately. A decisive factor in the latter improy ments of speculative sentiment was the conviction that conditions in the steel in- which gained upturn Eastor, soothing these ap- dustry were undergoing a turn for the bet- | ter. The publication of the United States Steel earnings for the first quarter of the vear helped to this feeling, as those earn- ings proved somewhat better than the pre- liminary estimates. Steel Prices Advance, Of greater effect, was the report of a stiffening of prices on several of the steel products. ng s the extent to gone, but that the policy of indiscrimina price cutting to secure new business been abandoned, was known effect to follow this tentative policy in bringing in a demand waiting for & definite turn in the situation was awaited with great in- terest. Great importance would be at- tached to the development of new demand for steel products to a point which woald overbalance the offerings. A new stage in the progress of restoration of normal trade conditions would be recognized in such a conditlon. The hopefulness in this matter was helped by the placing of namber of orders for rallroad equipment of various kinds by several of the portant rajlroad systems.
