THE MARKETS.
Wall Strut RitIiv,
New York, April 8. The call loan late pioved
again to be tlie tolar plexus of the stock mar
ket as it lias done on many occasions helore.
Tho constriction of the money supply and the
advance in the rate for call money precipitated
audi a np.isin of liquidation as threw tli: stock
inuikct into a condition bordering on demoi-.ili?a-tlon.
What happened today in the stock nuiiket
is what, according to the common jgrecment
of all classes of observers, was bound to liappcn
in due course of time. Kven the wild ind c-v-cited
market of last week, which waj an omin
ous i symptom, left the hulks unprepared for to
day's developments. Tipa for n lise in many
stocks wero still widely pievalt-iit lel'orc tlie
opening this morning and the cvpliniiimi vus
ollcicd ttiat Thursday')! lluiry in call loan lales
was duo to manipulation by thu lic.ir.i. fer
ceiving the highly vulnerable condition el' the
market owing to tho oicr extension of long ac
ronnts thinly margined and barked f.y weal:
vcfoiuces tho liears fell upon tho market, villi
gieat tierceness and cut a wide breadi In prices
nt the first on-daught. Tlie wide extent of Ihe
fust declines which weto made by fsiurc5ire
drops of from 1 to 2 points between pales in
cited to quick profit t.ikii-g by 'he bears nnd tlie
violent allies which ensued, encouraged the bvlla
tn make sonic stand against Hie reduction lop
ing tli.it the finny was temporary and llie mar
ket prepared lo rcr.i-w the advance This wa
the only period of tho day when (here vas a:.y
hlioiv of positive slrengtli and Sugar, People's
lias, Texas and I'niillc nnd a number of lcs-.
impoilant stocks were marked tip -lut-ily ovi-v
list Thursday's level. The Blrengtli vja short
lived, however, and after the demand horn the
lir.us had been satisfied many of '.lie bunks be
gan calling loans. Till brought a freh supply
of liquidation on the ntaiket and invited tif.-li
att.ulc by the be.iis. The selling became pre
cipitate as the fall in pvlrei wiped out mai
gins and uncovered step loss otilira and llie tin
ltickv bulls jettisoned great biles of stock witli
the kept! of 1 el loving I heir load and saving other
holdings tiom the nhipwiook. The only iui
pnitaul demand at any time came innn Ihe
shorts and the occasional spasmodic tallies wcic
not held in any case. This was fiue of tho last
as of the lornicr rallies and although piic.is bad
not fallen had; to the lowest all around, th'y
weie again on tlie down grade in most ca-es and
tho closing was Irregular and only slightly above
tho lowest. Tho fall leaeheil an evtia S:4 in

acutely affected. Total sale. l,70,non sluu.
