New York April 23.-Evening Posts
financial London cablegrams: This was
a slack day on the stock market, 1t being
a Jewish holiday, and the tone was rather
dull on Greek successes. At the approach
of the settlement, which will begin In
mines tomorrow, Kaffirs reacted, closing
at the lowest of the day. In spite of the
recent rally, some heavy differences on
KafIirs are to be met. Brazils were fiat

except to the strictly professional element
and to them only for a very quick turn
on an almost inhnitesimai margin The
whole market continued TO be dominated
by the war situation in Europe and the
opening adhered closely TO the level al
ready established for the days trading in
Londonl The indisposltion TO trade in
stocks seemd TO be based on the expecta-
