AVti' York Stock NEW YORK. April The day on the stock market started oft with another attempt to nifh up prices by speculative manipulation with the purpose of attracting: an outside following, but the ghcst Interest had bevn so far eliminated by the of the latter part of week 'that there was not sufficient demand from that source to keep up prices. Neither was there, any awakened Interest developed through the commission The market therefore fell back and became dull and heavy, but without weakness until some of the latter developments, when the bears Bhowed renewed vigor and sold prices to the lowest of the day. The violent break in Sugar was the principal element in the decline. That stock sold up to 1214 In the early dealings recoxered to jhat ngure after a reaction end then tell away with occasional spasmodic rallies to closing only slightly above that.

The news bearing on the stock consisted of a story from iioston giving elaborate detr.tis-cf the alleged terms of the settlement of the trade "war and the expressed opinion of a prominent speculator Just before Falling for Europe that the war was settled. Several of the principals in the trade conflict denied the allegations during the day: The threatened strike on the New York Central caused a "all of points In that stock and hid a sympathetic effect elsewhere In the list.

The only developments bear- Ing on the group were regarding the threatened legal process against officials of the Steel and Wire Company. United States made a considerable show of strength. Otherwise the market generally yielded to the reactionary tendency and "closed very near the lowest and easy in There were no developments of Importance in the money or exchange market. though both were scanned wllh eager interest.
