BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 19.-The day in the
stock market proved uneventful again,
although the appearance was not of such
utter stagnation as prevailed for the
most of yesterdays session.
The tone was equally lacking in speCu-
lative initiative and the sluggish and
wavering price movement throughout
the session gave evidence Of the same
languid interest.
Disposition either to buy or sell seemed
entirely lacking The bidding up of
prices, which occurred just before the
closing yesterday, seems to have been
founded on a supposition that the favor
able features of the British budget state
ment, which was presented to parlia-
ment yesterday, would prompt strong
tone in the London market today. The
market took advantage of the budget
factor, however, to effect some realizing.
The London market had the advantage
of falling discount rates, but the offer
stalled demand for the older securities
The Berlin demand is also concerned
with yesterdays issue of S10J,000,00O OF
government bonds. The new issues were
reported at q premium in Berlin today
but the fact that subscriptions were in
vited in New York and the report of a
tentative movement to introduce them
upon the Paris bourse indicated the de-
sire of German flnanciers to have the
assistance of outside money markets III
absorbing the issue.
Bonds were firmer but dull. Tota
