New York, May 14-There was a decided
falling of in the transactions at the stock
exchange to-day, the sales footing up only
357379 shares, against 70l, 1913 yesterday. The
buying fever abated and there was a gem
eral disposition to turn paper profits into
cash. Lower prices from London set the
pace at the opening, and our market de-
Louisville and Nashville made the great
est loss. The decline as of late brought
in liberal buying orders and the heaviest
purchases were made by the professionals,
who have been selling the Changers on the
reported damage to the wheat crop by
frosts. This buying resulted in an adj
vance of ladlss per cent, Sugar and New
England leading. In the last hour of bust
ness the Cordage securities and Manhat-
tan were freely pressed for sale. Cordage
common fell 13s to ga, preferred ia to H.
guaranteed 2l2 TO l2l2, and the first sizes
5 to 45a46l2. The story was that the in
terest on the bonds during July will not
be paid. Chicago Gas was weakened by
the veto of the frontage bill General
Electric was strong for a time on New
England buying, and rose to 35k subse-
quently the stock receded to 34ls. Jersey
Central declined rs to 9SA 1t was said
that J. Rogers Maxwell has resigned the
presidency on account of i'll health but
this was subsequently denied. Manhattan
broke from 1875 to 1862, on sales by bank
ers Identified with the bear leader. Later
on the stock recovered to 1l1ia. In the
last hour the general railway list was
rather soft and the buying power seemed
to have been exhausted The closing was
rather weak and prices generally showed
a loss on the day of h@1 per cent. Cordage
stocks, however, recorded losses of "a 67216
per cent, The sales of listed stocks aggre-
gated $4,000 shares; unlisted 1900. The
Dond market was lower on realizations.
