New York May S-Yesterday's closing
out of contracts by disgusted traders who
had come into the stock market under
the influence of the Saturday bank state
ment left little motive power in the
market. The reaction invited some short
selling in the effort TO extend the down
ward movement so as to yield a traders
profit on the short side, but this was
tirnidly pursued and with the subsequent
steadying of the market the trading be-
came virtually stagnant. Efforts to trade
seemed to be abandoned in despair Of
achieving any movement of prices Sell
ing for London account had some in
fuence on the early heaviness although
IL was in very light volume The impress
sion was produced by the employment of
houses having connections with other
cities. A drop of more than point in
New York and Hartford was the only con
crete effect of the strike of freight
handlers. But the labor difficulty on that
road was of repressive influence on the
trading The immobility of prices in
Wall street and the stagnation of the
trading are evidence of the waiting for
developments in the general situation.

ness is no surprise to Wall street. for il

The extent to which the ability to meet
fixed obligations may be impaired by the
downward course of business must be as

There has been unusual activity in the
Wichita market this week and buyers
have not been able to fill their orders.
The demand has been far stronger than

The cattle market remains unchanged
There is very little business going on
at the yards along the cattle line. But
good butcher stock is in fair demand and
brings excellent prices.
