No MORE DIVIDENDS
In Federal Steel Expected
This Year, and 1t Drops
UNSETTLING THE MARKET
Baltimore and Ohio Brings 1t
Up Again.
UNSETTLING THE MARKET

New York, April 3.-The two most po-
tent factors in today's stock market
were Federal Steel and the Baltimore
and Ohio stocks. The pressure to hqui-
date the former has a decidedly unset
Ting effect on the whole market In the
morning and the strength Of the latter
stock served to stiffen prices during the
afternoon and to retrieve to large ex-
tent the early decline. The opening in
Federal Steel was wide and the price was
soon carried down to 49, drop OF As
from yesterdays close. 1t rallied 2
points, but went off again in the last
fifteen minutes of the market 10 the low
est, developing renewed signs OF weakness
in the rest of the list. The selling OF
the stock was due to the practical ad-
mission that the failure to amend the
charter yesterday at the annual meeting
was equivalent to the abandonment Of
further dividend distributions this year,
owing to legal obstacles. The strength
In Baltimore and Ohio developed after
the executive committee reported. It
was generally understood that this meet
ing would consider the granting OF ad-
ditional rights to stockholders. A new
rumor found circulation about every five
minutes as to what the right would be,
and the speculation in the stocks or the
company was very active. The common
stock touched ssh, and the preferred s.
and both reacted nearly 2 points on profit
taking, helping to the easier tone In the
close. London was d free seller in the
earlier dealings and helped to the open
ing reaction. While there were no very
large offerings brought out at the de-
cline. the demand for stocks was less
urgent than in the recent market ana
when the dullness and frmness promised
an advance large offerings to realize were
brought out The market gave evidence
Of the pressure of large speculative hold
ings to realize, but holders evidently felt
themselves strong enough to withhold
their offerings at any considerable con-
cession Outside few stocks today 5
movement in prices was not narrow.
There was considerable strength in the
grangers under the leadership of ST.
Paul, based on very heavy grain move
ment now going over the western lines.
The trunk lines were firm on the large
east-bound shipment, beside the sympa-
thetic effect of the moveemnt OF the Bal
timore and Ohio stocks. The rally from
the low point reached a point in num-
Der of prominent railways but the maj
easing off left most of the days net
changes small and mixed between gains
and losses. Sugar was actively dealt in
but after an early decline of over point
mounted upward points on the report
ed easing in the price of raw sugars. The
price eased off in the late dealings, bring
ing the net advance down to IA. The
money market worked somewhat easier
today, as the influence of the April dis
bursements is beginning to be felt. There
is no further apprehension In stock mar
ket circles on money market considera-
tions. Closing prices of stocks today
were as follows:
