YESTERDAY's STOCK MARKET

There was also talk of a probable coming increase in the dividend on U. S. Steel No au- thority could be found for these reports The movement in Canadian Pacific was attributed to fresh turn against the shorts. Much was made also of the continued downward tendency in money rates, both here and abroad. Discount rates declined in London, Paris and Berlin and cabled advices from London were of a general expec- tation that the Bank of England will reduce it's official discount rate this 1 this week.
 | The Imperial bank of Germany made | it's weekly return and showed moderate i recuperation from the severe strain of 1 the April settlements. Nevertheless, stocks continued to be sold here for foreign account and the opening of a ne waccount in the London stock mark ct revealed small commitments of American securities, notwithstanding the low carrying rates. The strength was quite general in the early part of the day and the development of mark ed weakness in the Southern Railway stocks came while strength was still marked in the rest of the list The fall in those stocks suggested a renew al of the kind of liquidation which was in force la monh and aroused some dis quietude and the whole market was not long in responding Conjectures thai further capital needs remained to bg met presumably at onerous terms, made the only news to account for the move
 ment in Southern Railway. The Erie. showed close sympathy. The effect O

There are known to be large stop loss orders at 40.

Standard oil banks are making it very easy for the borrower; too easy some persons think.

Although Amalgamated Copper has rallied twenty points from it's low March level there is feeling about
 that it has not done as well as it should. For an 8 per cent. high class industrial to hold under par suggests some unwholesome trade conditions. The metal is nominally 26 cents, but consumers are more cautious than ever and not willing to pay the premiums for delivery in June or July they once were.
