April 24. i'xiie stock market acted today hb It Saturday's heavy losses were nothing e than an unpleasant dream, from which there was a sudden awakening the beginning of business this morning. Commission house clients, how- V knew only too well that the wiping out of margins was real nnd that the ent which had beeh forced to liquidate on Thursday nnd Saturday was un fM td participate to any extent In the dealings today, except to a moderate ereet on the selling side. The bears went through the same experience often itoteft on bull movements of "seeing paper profits" wiped out. There was plenty of Incentive for substantial Improvement In sentiment t be found In the news developments over Sunday. There was promise given In the German advices that the two Governments wilt emerge from the sub tjnarlne tangle without an absolute rupture, and the Mexican developments were io of a reassuring Character, with most Importance attached to the conference arranged between the military leaders on the border. The morning rally In Jwices Continued In the afternoon, although the mrtrket was not as active. Grain tanged from 1 to 6 points. A good deal depends on the action of the United States Steel directors to morrow. The Street has been led to expect that the earnings of 8 per cent, en the common stock for the qunrter ended March 21 will be responded to with the, declaration of l,i per cent, which was distributed last January The copper stocks gave a better response to the known hlgUly favorable conditions of the metal market. Hut there was the doublo Incentive In putV Chases of Greene-Cananca, which advanced 4 points, ns that stock was also helped by the Mexican conferences now pending. On the board room floor most Interest was attached to the United States Steel common, which, after opening above 81, was forced down to 8H4 on a btokf drive, btit as soon as the bears ceased their efforts the price quickly rose to 82. This was assumed as reflecting persistent accumulation by strong Intel ests. It was a matter of comment that good buying was In the market on a larger scale than at any time since the beginning of the mouth. Hear operators bid for stocks, making urgent efforts to cover shorts, but accumulative orders prevented their obtalnlhg much stock.
