was not in large volume to-day, but ii
was effective in depressing prices on
account of the almost total absence of
any buying demand. There was some
demand at the lower level for bear ac-
count to cover contracts.
SO considerable price movement as
that of to-day has come to be so rare
an occurrence that the professional
element is anxious to avail itself of it
TO take quick profits The activity
was relatively much greater on the de-
cline than on the recovery, and the
rally was not we'll held, prices sagging
again towards the last, making a life
less and heavy closing. To-day's de-
clines carried a number of prominent
stocks to the low level for the year,
including st. Paul. New York Central,
Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific and
the United States Steel stocks. The
previous low level was at the time of
the break in connection with the
Northern Securities decision, and to-
days low prices were only fractionally
below those at that time except the
United States Steel stocks. in which
low prices were touched Wednesday.
The Steel stocks were notably firm
to-day. although the dealings in them
were small and the price variation very
ton of consumption of all products on
account of the high prevailing level of
price plays an important part in the
general spirit of hesitation now ruling
in the speculative market. OF to-
days more immediate influences, the
forecast of weak bank statement was
the foremost Reports of damage TO
the wheat crop by the Hessian fly
played a part in the selling of the
Changers as it did to a moderate ex-
tent in the buying of wheat. The news
of the illness of E. H. Hartman did
not cause any special effect on the
prices of stocks in which he is largely
interested.

heavy. Total sales, par value, $780,

NAVAL STORES.

Friday, May Is.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 461ac. sales los casks,
and closed firm at 4614612c, sales, l5S
casks. The demand was fairly good,
without any pressure to buy in any
quarter calculated to impart great
strength TO the market. Much is heard
during the past few days of extremely
unfavorable weather throughout the
turpentine belt for gathering the crude
gum. The temperature has been too
cool for free flowing of gum, so that
producers have been brought to a prac-
teal standstill. The days receipts were
544 casks, and the exports 525 casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
quiet and unchanged from yesterday,
sales, so barrels, and closed firm at the
prices below sales 1928 barrels. The
demand was fairly good at the lower
level. Throughout the week the in
quiry was satisfactory. Receipts to-
day 1.1S6 barrels and the exports 325
barrels.
The sea island cotton market closed
dull and featureless the past week, with
practically no demand from consumers.
Sales of small lots were reported. There
seems to be no desire from consumers
to take cotton at the moment. Advices
from the crop country are unfavorable
for the new crop.
