New York, April 2I-Trading was of a
lstless sort to-day and except for an early
squirt in the speciaIties, prices decreased
to the end, when the tone was weak.
Smart recessions appeared In many stocks,
while most of the active list was lower No
very serious consideration seemed to be
given TO the protest of the German ambas-
sador against the utterances of a naval Of
ficer just returned from Manila.
The Etfpnqih QiapllDu 81
tracted some attention, continuing as n
does in spite of comparison easiness OF
money, which ranged from 3-to per cent
for call loans The favorable bank state
ment of Saturday failed to arouse O notice
able increase In outside interest In the
market, and the bears accordingly rea-
soned that il was opportune to try some
short ventures. Anaconda mining was very
strong, rising points, only one of which
II lost before the close. The advance In
Anaconda was associated with reports OF
some deal in connection with copper COM
bnation; moreover copper advanced
abroad London was a seller of some 30
900 shares OF stock and selling came from
New England and the West as well as
from some large traders. who recently had
been heavy purchasers. Commission BUSH
ness was very light. Crop uncertainties
may account for the hesitancy In the mar
ket ana private crop adVlces were said Ia
have been received, which we're not alto
gether favorable. This received some cred
ence because Of the firmness Of the wheat
market. The market was altogether unln.
teresung and almost featureSess
lrregularity cropped out to-day In the
bond market but the changes generally
were narrow and there was a consistent
demand for the newer issues at improved
prices. Total sales 49, 900,
