NEW YORK, April 22.-The stock market ex-
hibited decreasing volume of business this
morning with small and irregular fluctuations,
though the firm undertone was apparent, and
while the early pressure to sell caused some
concessions, they were generally recovered later
and most of the list scored small gains.
First prices were irregularly but only slightly
changed from last nights figures with major
ity OF declines among the active shares, and
this was followed by a further recession, in
which Chicago gas was most prominent
losing q per cent to so. Besides Chicago
gas Atchison, st. Paul, New England
Northern Pacific preferred, Rock Island, Union

paratively neglected and displayed no

exception, showing plainly the effect of the in
crease in the dividend rate on the preferred

but developed weakening tendency, led by

most active stock on the list for the time
being. The concessions in prices, however,

1t IL Believed That They Have Been Indulg-
ing In Socialistic Dreams.
LONDON, April 22.-The war Office is conduct
ing searching investigation into the causes of
the mutiuous conduct in the third battalion of
grenadiers. The belief prevails that there is
more than appears on the surface, and that the
outbreak was not as spontaneous as that Of
the second battalion some months ago. The
English foreign Office was notified from
Germany recently of a socialistic propaganda adj
dressed especially to the spread of sociaiistic doc
trines in the armies of western Europe. and that
England. as well as Germany and other nations,
was field OF this kind of proselytism. The
war Office has since been especially vigilant to
detect any ground for alarm; but until Tues
day there was no reason to apprehend dis
content among the troops. 1t is now said
that two of the men at least who were active
in egging on their comrades have been patrons
Of republican literature. and have had consid-
cradle to say in advocating the principles Of
socialism. On the other hand there is no
doubt that the men have cause for complaint
owing to the severity of the discipline and the
martinez methods of their officers, to whom the
fate of Colonel Maitland of the second battalion
seems to have proved no warning.
