NEW YOR May 10. :The active liguidation of two previ days in the stock market was relaxed to-day, leaving the largely extended short Interest on the defensive. Yesterday's final recovery gave an impetus to the demand for Americans on the London market, which lifted prices for the opening here. There was e slight outside demand through commis- sion houses, @ications that it has turned. The opening strength from these causes quickly gave way under the attack by the bears, who used the statement of St Paul's earnings for the first week in May. This statement, showing a de- @rease from last year for the first time in months, did in fact have a strong in- ce on sentiment. It was a forcible re- minder of the fears which have found ex- pression for some time past in Wall street that the reaction in the iron market and In gen- eral b o828 WO inevitably lead to a fall- ing off in raliroad earnings. The bears pro- fessed apprebension over the pessimistic tone of Lord bury’s speech last night. Quite iiberal buying London account served to counteract this argument, the arbitrage houses estimating the buying for London account showing that there is an element | which is watching the market closely for in- | | slight response to the rise here and the close | was undecided, Baltimore and Ohio reacting esvecially. Tintos were % off owing to the weakness In copper, while Anacondas rose to # | New York parity. The bank recelved £50,000 gold from Norway and lost £10,000 to South America. Eills and call money are inclined to be easier. The bank did a fair business in di There was less talk of gold shipmen merica, despite the balf-penny rise in gles, as it is thought that Bank of England will not pay interest on in transit.
