NEW YORK, May 24.-Prices of stocks
drifted to a lower level today in the
uncertain and irregular manner which is
characteristic of dull and undecided
market. The dullness of the market is
entirely normal for this time Of year
when the fate of the coming crops on
which so much depends is still In the
balance. In present conditions, how
ever, the market has several unfavorable
factors to contend with. In the first
place, there is evidently hanging over it
some of the large holdings that were
taken on for the purpose of averting the
panic and which were offered for realiz-
ing at every advance in the market. To-
days market was rather obvious that
some newly floated industrials were not
having an easy time. This Is especially
true of the various companies which were
to have been aggregated In the pro-
jected steel combination, the plan for
which seems to have been materially al
tered. American Hoop, American Steel
and Wire and National Steel were all
quite acutely affected, and in the late
dealings Federal Steel and Colorado Fuel
also succumbed to attacks. The con-
tinued heaviness of Amalgamated Cop
per in the outside market also gave evil
dence Of the saturated state Of the public
demand for new Industrial securities.
Added to these incidents of weakness,
continued fears that the coming crop
would turn out badly and the bears had
good field for operations. There was
very little resistance offered to their
raids, and their operations were not very
bold nor on a large scale.
The foreign market after the recent
holiday, seemed to be impressed with
the fears expressed in the domestic mar
kets regarding the crops, also had its In
fluence in restricting the operations of
the bears. The break In Sugar, however.
and the persistent weakness OF the
steel stocks and the rally in wheat en-
couraged a late attack on the market
which was directed principally against
the so-called Gould Southwesterns and
Brooklyn Transit
The whole railroad list showed the eff
feet of the raid, but the grangers and
Atchison preferred showed the best re-
sistance. Net losses are the rule, but in
the railroads are restricted to fractions
except for a few cases. Sugar was the
leader in point of activity and after COW
ering 3h points closed 11sc lower. The
Tobacco stocks and Anaconda were also
notably weak, the latter on London sell
ing accompanied by further decline in the
price of copper. Air Brake lost 111S
points.
The demand for railroad bonds con-
tinued active and the market was strong,
many of the reorganization 4 per cents
continuing to make new high records.
New issues which are in course of dis
posal by underwriting syndicates and sec
ond grade bonds are about all that have
not been put at pTohibitive prices. Total
sales, par value, $2790,000. There is a
good Investment demand for government
bonds which are record prices. The
threes, the f1ves and the old fours regis
tered advanced 1s in the bid price. -
