Heavy realizing manifest in the opening dealings, es- pecislly in Burlington. Northern Pacific and United States Steel stocks. These stocke main- tained thelr recent prominence in the trading ®0 that their downward course had a corre- #pondingly large effect on the general market. Burfington was bid up suddenly to 1% over last night, about midway of the session, touching & record price at 176, but it quickly fell back under the fiood of realizing offerings and closed with only a fractional net gain. There was a vhl:nl rise at the same time in the local Maximum temperature, cloudy n showers | traction stocks, Lake Brie and Western and Tennesses Coal. Realizing had already affected these advances before the appearance of the bank statement. The bears sold the market on the large inroad made upon the surplus re- serves of the banks and caused declines run- ning to a point In some cases. |ive by a sudden and violent rise in Rock | Island to 136, an advance over last night of Atchison was marked up 1% at the A revival of old rumors of & com- bination between the two oy stems accompanied | the advance. Rock Island fell back sharply | on realizing and the closing of the market was feverish and firregular. with profit-taking in some points in the list. The United tee] stocks did not fluctuate more than . but the dealings in them was very re were wide advances in a num- including Larlu--mm orris and Essex, Puli- Colorado Fuel preferred, running from preferred. The serves of the banks was less than had been estimated, but the loan expansion of $6,110,800 |'made additional reserve requirements and so | encroached on the surplus Another eventful week has passed in the stock market, with a very animated end varled speculation fn full swing. The daily average of transactions has run well over a million shares of stock and over of bonds. There has been a constant digestion of speculative profits on a very large scale and this has encouraged the bear party to go | hort of the market oecasionally in the con- fidence that the culmination of the rise had peen reached and that they would have good | opportunity to cover their short contracts later on in the expected perid of active speculative | liquidation, but the continued large demand garding plans for the betterment of individual Properties have as often driven the bears (o cover and have absorted the selling to take profits with only slight damage to prices. The conviction remained strorg, in spite of official disclaimers and downright denlals, ®ere ripe for the absorption of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy system In the interests deal have been numerous and divergent, in- cluding assertions of a lease with guaranteed dividend, a cash payment for the stock and an_exchange for guarantee bonds. The ad- mission for trading in the unlisted department of the Stock Exchange of the United States Steel stocks, when issucd, proved an incitement to the general speculation. The prices to which these stocks had risen In the narrow trading on the curb offered handsome profits which were exchanged, compared with the prices of tiose stocks before the merger. There was an apprehension that, with the greater faciiities for trading offered on the Stock Ex- change, there would be such heavy reallzing in the new stocks as 1o force them downward, with resulting bad effect on the general mar- ket, but it became manifest very promptly that these stocks were not to be left support. There was an support at the outset and the realizing was largely absorbed ani prices renewe This gave renewed confidence to the whole specula- tion and the trading in the steel stocks formed an fmportant element In the market during the latter part of the week. The belief that plans were working out for a general combina- | tion of Bouthwestern rallroad: e another | center of speculative activity. Missourl Pa- cifio continued the leading figure in this move- ment and the Colorado roads were very con- epicuous and strong. The market was highly | professional and speculative during the whole week, &3 shown by the volume of transactions in individual stocks, which were sufficient to have effected a change of control in many | stocks had they represented any proportion of | actual transfers. The good reports of business | in most lines all through the country and the continued ~high leval of rallroad earnings formed an effective underlying support for the | whele epeculation. | The strength of the bond market has not | been 80 conaplmlflul and so general this week, but boints of strength have continued to de- " 'miied States refunding 2s (coupon) advanced | % and the 3s (old) 3 and new 4s i per cent over the closing call of last week.

The inference was that the cash re- serves of the banks, by reason of the two | operations, had been reduced several millions, but the weekly exhibit reveals a loss of only | 8445700, which, of course. puts a more favor- le aspect on the situation. For all that, how- ever, the position of the banks has nof been | strergthened, since the expansion of $6,110,800 | in loans brought about a corresponding rise in deposits, necessitating more reserve, and the gftect fs shown in a decreass of §2.401, 525, which | brings the present excess to 500, the low- | St “Sverns. reportad since December 15 lagt The expansion of $6,110800 in loans can Le traced to changes in one or two large banks and represents speolal transactions. As @ matter of fact the leading items were all in- | fluenced in this way so that aside from a very | few institutions the position of the lnfllvidul.l | institutions does not vary much from the pi | ceding week. The statement on its face fore- casts a firmer condition in the money market, “| but to what extent it s difficult to deem. The | export of a small amount of goid on a special order during the week has given rise to many 4 | conjectures of an impending movement, but conditions do not price | 80 dependent upon domestic money rates That ‘Iha slightest derangement of the present level | will upset all calculations. An, advance in | rates here may also bring to this center what- ever money is mow lying idie at other points. The general opinion is that the critical Inz | of the season is being tided over and tween coming treasury disbursements and u- ceipts of new gold before summer, a reasonable assurance of a satisfactory market is not want- fre-"Pha heavy deals which have marked the first quarter of the year are being adjusted and cannot be regarded as dominating the market | to the exclusion of all other business. 1t was noted that the banks sent considerable ‘money o ene 'or two larga centera In {he interlor last week in response to demand, due no doubt to local causes. The United States Steel Corpora- tion payment of ”SONM and April dividend disbursement so far have not influenced the situation perceptibly. London Market. !

Within half an hour it had assumed vast proportions. Half the wheat pit had de- | serted to it and many traders were crowded out of bounds at times. George H. Phillips took profits on a ecale approaching his opera- tions of yesterday, yet so excited was the trade that he was not more conspicuous than many others. In fact It looked as if the mar- ket was beyond the.control of this spirited young bull, or beyond the control of any com- bination. May opened %@%c higher at #c to 44%c and early touched 4éc on selling sald to The buying craze was on, however, and it struck this elight aip in full force. May corn was bought and sold in such quantities and with such rapidity by the whole pit tbat individual trades were lost to view. The market bouna.d to the record price of 44%c in the next half-hour. The remainder of the session it was give and take between the big demand and offerings from enriched May was forced back to 44%c, but held and closed %@%c over yesterday at 443 B4c. In activity and strength the oats market was second only to corn. This market, ordinarily neglected and without even a pit to call its own, made the wheat trade look dismal by comparison. The hand of Phillips was at work in the market, his purchases during the day being approximated at 3,000,000 bushels. May closed 3¢ higher at 263c. The attenuated remmnant of traders left in for the corn strength 1t {s highly probable the | market would have declined more than it dl | Trade was light and the range narrow. v | opened 6 to %@ike lower at T8KC o 'lWTfilfi and sold early to T6c on heavy Australian ship- ments and favorable weather, In sympathy with corn a reaction to 763%c followed, but de- spite late assurances of export inquiry the market cased off later and closed Yo under i esterday at 7 | ¥ | "Tight hog receipts, the corn strength and an dvance in prices at the yards were reflected n higher prices for provisions.
