The Washington market today was alb
solutely featureless. There was extreme
inactivity. as compared with the move
ments Of the past few days. although
there was no recession in prices. The
whole list remained strong. and the de-
mand was good at current levels, but the
supply was lacking, and this was said to
Indicate lack of desire to sell at pre-
vailing prices.
Washington Gas, which was the feature
yesterday, was as much O. q laggard as
the others today. One sale at 70 which
was the highest price yesterday. repre-
stock pressing at that figure. This Sc
curity Is said to be one OF the most re-
spected of all those listed on the WASH
ington exchange. Brokers at this time
are said to be daily receiving inquiries
concerning the possibilities Of this stock.
and some orders are beng obtained at
about the market price.
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred was strong at yesterdays level A
bid of s1% for 100 shares failed to dis
lodge any stock.
Washington Railway and Electric COM
mon was ignored. A bid of 3Ok was the
best obtainable. and some was offered at
80 without result
Mergenthaler was very strong, but also
inactive. All the early offerings amount
ing to about thirteen shares were quickly
snapped up. Subsequent effort to induce
trading at 105 failed.
Greene Cananea was also neglected. 1t
is said to be surprising that this stock
has not assumed more activity in view Of
the general improvement of the other
copper shares.

rather overshadowed by the sensational
advance in the prices Of the May corn
options. in which. according to trade au-
thofities. a virtual corner has now been
created. At any rate the quotations for
the other grain options did not move In
accordance with those for May corn. The
days advices with respect to current
agricultural conditions were not wholly
satisfactory but they were practically
ignored on account of the interest taken
in tomorrow's government crop report.
Money market affairs were not ma
terially altered and the further advance
in the rates for sterling exchange was
quite Ignored. There was some little dis
cussion with regard to the outlook for
Saturdays bank statement. chiefly be-
cause this mornings figures showed that
the subtreasury had lost to the banks
the face Of their returns OF government
depesits, whereas at this period last week
the AsubtreGsury showed an even larger
gain.
As the interior movement Of money 10
sim largely In favor of New York. the in
dicat1ons point to another great increase
in the Banks reserves.
American socks were firm in the Lon
don markot, which was otherwise irregu-
lar. The Bank Of England's discount rate
was left unchanged at per cent. and the
weekly statement Of that institution was

The local stock market opened with an
uncertain tone and moderate selling for
foreign account In the absence of any
thing more strfking was named as &C.

In the early dealings. Subsequently prices
fuctuated irreguiarly. but most Of the
more active issues drifted toward lower
levels.
Exceptionally Arm features of the mar
ket were Reading. Atchison and practi-
calIy all of the Gould stocks. Through
out, the day reports were current that
the returns already received pointed to
tremendous declines in the gross earn
ings OF all OF the eastern trunk lines for
the month OF April. but It is open to
question whether these rumors cut much
figure In the course of the stock market.
The local traction shares were steady,
but dull. with the exception OF Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. which was fairly active
in connection with reports that the CON-
pany would be successful in its legal fight
against the reduction of fares to outlying
points
The Industrial and miscellaneous shares
followed the same general lines pursued
by the railway list. and there were no de-
velopments of special interest bearing
upon the securities in that department.

NEW YORK. May There Is no use
in a market such as Is now prevailing to
attempt to improve upon the phraseolosy
OF Wall street hence in describing the
conditions which prevailed during the
greater part of today's business it might
be said that they reflected an over

as the market has enjoyed. some sort of a
reaction was more or less inevitable, and
for well-known reasons Thursday Is
day in a rising market on which such
tendencies may usually be reckoned with.
AT the same time. today's market was
