WEDNESDAY, March Up. n.
The stock market was tame and inactive this morn.
ing and prices fell off from to per cent for nearly
all of the leading shares. Federal and State stocks
also were dull and lower, and there seemed 10 be

lower wi the rest OF the market On the second call
there was rather frmer feeling and slight improve
nent over prices established in the early sales. At the
Second Board the market was steadier except for Fed
ersl and State stocks, which were heavy. The move
ments were sluggish throughout, but the inclination 10
buy was stronger than in the morning The closing
prices were: For United Staes g. 81 registered %.
