New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, April 14 —The downward course of prices was turned to-day by the in fluential support In the face of continued heavy liguidation at the nuing. When the heavy outpouring of stocks was stopped the bears began to look about for stocks to cover their short contracts. In the carly stages of the re- ¢ this was done in a very leisurely and rent manner, but towara the end of the the buying for bear account to cover be- urgent. The turn against the - furthered by the circula- tion of a rumor just before the close that sev- | | alternative plans of reorganization for |h=i Northern Securities Company had been devised and would be laid before the authorities at ngton with the purpose of compromising vernment’s suit against the company by ng & status to conform with the law nd thus avoid an appeal of the case to the Supreme Court. As 8o0n as this story could be Lrought to the attention of the dominant power in the Northern Securities Company it was | promptly denled, but this denial did net reach day came decidedly short as the floor of the Stock Exchange before the close, £0 that the alarm of the bears was un- ‘ allayed. Previcus to that time there was a marked decrease in the volume of business as | prices advanced and little inelination to follow | the advance on the part of the buyers. | The market-during the opening struggle be- | tween the two struggling parties on the ex- | change was extremely feverish and irregular. | the bidding up of prices being constantly met with heavy selling. while at the deciines the buying orders were executed with Increasing tion. A substantial recovery in Northern Securities on the curb at the opening | and & sudden relapse to near last night's level | had a quick sympathetic response on the Stock | Exchangr, and a final recovery to about 95 Armed the steadier tone of speculation on | exchange. Final prices for the principal | ive stocks were from 1 to .over 2 points | bove last night. London did ite first trading his morning since the announcement of the | Northern Eecurities decigion, and the break n | Amerfcans this morning was not sufficient to bring prices down to last night's level here. e opening decline here theérefore offered in- ting onportunities for buying on arbitrage wnt and London took about 50,000 shares on | nt. With the rally in prices there was & teristic change in the stock market of the Northern Securities decision and | neequence A confident assurance WA indulged in that Northern Pacific and Gre i not been involved in destruct re the formation of the Securi- | ompany and were not 1ikely to enter upon | | it with the possible dissolution of the corpora- | | tiom. It was recalled that the company was | |2 device 10 facilitate control rather than | avoid competition. With the present condi- there is not very much solicitude felt leaving rallroads out over night even effective minority holding eonstitutes It has become doubtful also whether reently contemplated mergers would | have been rompleted in any event by reason of the congested condition or the securities market. It i= considered questionable In view | of the later developments whether even the Burlington purchase would be pushed to a conciusion if it remained to be done at this time. The extreme alarm regarding the con- sequences of the Northern Securities decision, which was s0 prevalent yesterday, was thus Guite absent to-day. Very little attention was 1o tio about given to-day to any other condition in the day’s recovery. Bonds _rallied sharply in sympathy with cks. Total sales, par value, $3,245,000.

Opening prices were strong on reports of unfavorable weather, frost being reported In_Kensas, to- gether with bullish advices from Paris and de- creased stocks. There was a good demand from shorte at the start and after opening %@%c at T65@ib%c, May advanced to 76Kc. The continued open selling of July by the Armour interests had a bearish effect on traders, al- though it was rumored that brokers were buy- ing for the same house, and as & result of un- certainty surrounding these deals the market was quite nervcus the greater part of the day. The entire selling of July by the leading long was estimated -at nearly 2,400,000 bushels. To- ward the end of the session a good general demand set in which advanced prices to the top noteh of the day and the close was near the high figures, May being 1@1%c higher at 764,@ T88c, after selling up to 16%c. July sold up to 71@Ti%c and closed Sic higher at Tlc. Corn ruled strong with wet weather the bull influence, conditions being unfavorable both for planting ‘and the movement. There was active covering in May by shorts and commission houses were good buyers of July. May closed 3gc higher at 43%c. The wet weather was a bull factor in oats, as was the strength in other grains, and a strong sentiment prevailed. The close was strong, with May %c higher at 33%c. Provisions were dull, but the market was strong on a good demand for pork and ribs by brokers. A firm hog market with light re- ceipts was an carly strengthening influence. May pork closed 15¢ higher, lard was un- changed and ribs were a shade higher. The leading futures ranged as follows Articles— __ Open. High. Low.
