New York. April 2O.-stocks to-day grav-
itated slightly below yesterdays level In
nuences affecting price values were the
| continued strength and rising prices OF
sterling exchange and reports of damage
| TO winter wheat.
There was some strength about the OPEN
ing. but the outside demand being small
encouraged the bears to put out short
| lines, the selling movement being most
| confident around delivery hour. The in-
| preston on values was not very large az
a rule, and a covering movement left the
net changes of the day moderate
| Trading was of a listless sort and al
| though the dealings were about half a mill
| lion shares, little interest was manifested
on the uncertain vibrations of stocks Ex-
| cept for the Changers. which were sensi-
| tive TO crop adVices, the railways gener-
| ally moved within narrow limits. Anaconda
| mining advanced six and half, the pur-
| chasing being In some volume for London
| account, where the demand was reported
to cover sales of privileges which would
| be called.
| Among the specialties Continental To-
bacco dipped sharply, closing nearly two
| points off. The Flower stocks were under
pressure, but left Off with narrow changes
either way. Southern Railway and LOUIS
Vile, on their joint purchase Of the Bir-
| mingham Southern Railway, held firm
against large London sales. American
smelling and refining opened strong on its
| first days trading In the unlisted depart
ment and then sold down. The market
closed steady.
| The increased activity and strength in
the bond market reflects investment buy
| ing. which is very heavy In some Of the
| newly issued mortgages. To-daye sales
/ were $1,000 900. United States Is registered,
