Negotiations between Mallory and

compromise ticket for the AZ delegates to
the state convention were broken Off
abruptly yesterday, and both forces were
busy preparing separate tickets.
Recent developments promise to de-
velop the fact that the Anti-Saloon league

convention to Montgomery which will
indorse statewide prohibition, the Fuller
bill and the Carmichael bill.
At any rate, both factions will have
out full tickets, thus exactly doubling the
length of time ii will require to mark the

LITTLE DEMAND
FOR SECURITIES

NEW YORK, April 1S.-The de-
mand for stocks today proved dis
appointing to those who or
ganized the upward movement of
prices last week Events over
the weekend brought in some
selling orders through commits
sion. houses, leaving small oppor-
tunfty for the buyers of last week
to distribute their holdings TO the
expected new buyers.
An exception was found in the
Hill and Gould stocks. which adj
vanced in the early dealings on
the strength of reports that a
working agreement had been made
by which traffic from the Hill
roads would be shipped over the
Gould roads west of Denver.
The wintry weather in the west
since the stock market closed
Saturday was made the ground
for fear of damage to fruit and
vegetables in those regions. There
was some selling of stocks on
that account Assurances that no
serious harm had been done to
the grain crop mitigated the ef-
feet of the news.
The further downward course
of wheat was evidence of salts
faction with the new crop con-
ditions 1t was regarded as prov
ing also that holders of old wheat
were inclined TO liquidate their
holdings and not wait longer in
the hope of higher prices.
The influence of the decline in
wheat was not effective in the
foreign exchange market to pre-
vent further engagements of gold
for export to London this week.
The easing of the local money
market with the strengthening of
the banks condition last week
seems to have facilitated the
further outgo of gold Estimates
of the probable outgo have been
moderated with the stronger po-
sition attained by the Bank of
England.
The dull and dropping tone of
iron and the steps being taken
TO curtail the output give a turn
of depression to such sentiment.
Predictions of a coming increase
in the dividend on United States
steel do not avail TO curtail this
sentiment Copper trade move
ments also were regarded as un-
satisfactory.
A minor cause of disappoint-
ment was failure of. predictions,
which were made positively last
week, that the corporation tax
law would be declared unconsu-
tutional by the supreme court to-
day.
Bonds were irregular. Total
