YORK STOCK MARKET. fresh NEW NEW YORK, May 5.—Liquidation was quite general in the stock market to-day and ma- terial declines prevailed. There was no news of importance and disappointment at the bad showing of the bank statement on Saturday scemed to color speculative sentiment. Ster- ling exchange was about steady and money decidedly easier. Such rallies as took place were feable and In each instance brought out further sales, leaving the market at the end weak at about the lowest for the rallways, although some of the speclalties In the late gelling movement retained part of the advan- fage derived on an afternoon rally. Arbitrage brokers purchased some 20,000 spares durin the forenoon weakness. The market continue Yeverish practically all day. There was forced liquidation of marginal accounts by commis- sion houses, Some important interests let go Btocks on the assumption that rather larger reaponsibilities have been taken by certain un- Qerwriting syndicates. The talk of the forma- tion of & new steel “trust’ with a tremen- dous capitalization caused uneasiness In some quarters, resulting in declines of over 3 points in Federal Steel shares and over 2 in American Steel and_Wire. The Flower stocks were sold for both Western and local account, Brooklyn Transit losing 8%, People’s Gas 3% and Atch- fson preferred 1%. The tenor of the erop ad- vices was conflicting, but the grangers receded emartly, Burlington losing over 2 points and St. Paul and Northwest about half as much. Among the coalers Delaware and Hudson and Jersey Central were down over a point each. In some sections of Maryland the | New York Central suffered a loss of 2% in con- nectlon with its unfavorable showing for April compared with last year, although this is partly explainable by the earlier date at which navi- Eation opened last year. Other weak spots in the railways were Baltimore and Ohlo, Penn- | sylvania, Union Pacific, C. C. and St Louls, | Northern Pacific and Missouri Pacific. Sugar | and Lead were smong the heavy industrials. | Amalgamated Copper sagged on the curb, which caused Anaconda mining to be without sup- port. General Electric, which rose over a point, Was the conspicuous exception to the market's weakness. The deposit of $10,000,000 in warrants | against the Treasury in a local bank which is managing the transfer of the Spanish indemnity Wwas taken to be the cause of the easier tone in money, as the operation had not been ex- pected until later this week. Some sharp declines were effected to-day in active bonds, but the higher-grade issues only receded moderately.
