They are anxious for some yacht

airship is. of course, in the nature OF
an experiment, and there can be no
doubt but the first day or so will cause
the greatest mental and physical

DULL DAY IN
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Idleness
and neglect eclipsed all signs of
interest in the stock market today.
Some of the lighter minded of the
trading fraternity found no better
explanation for the abstention
from the market than the fact
that it was Friday, the 18th.
The influence of the London
situation on speculative sentiment
was increased by the evidence of a
hardening money market at that
center.
The foreign exchange market
was rather disordered, and fuc-
tuated with violence at recoveries
from the recent low points. The
more authoritative reports of the
large volume of American bonds
being placed abroad were without
influence in the exchange market
1t was said that this was due
to provision for deferred pay
ments on some of these subscrip-
tions and consequent postpone
ment of the offerings of exchange
bills against the payments.
Preliminary estimates pointed to
another large gain in cash for the
week by the clearing house banks.
The money market showed no
change in conditions.
Wide movements in a few in
dividual stocks supplied the only
features Of interest in the market
The sharp rise in Canadian Pacific
was coupled with reports that a
disbursement of profits out of land
sales was intended. Wabash
shares were affected again by re-
vived reports of the control pass
ing to the Rock Island interests.
Texas and Pacific land trust GER
tificates were run up on few
transactions for no other reason
than that a report that they were
being bought by the trustees.
The halt in the speculation was
due partly to the inconclusiveness
of crop conditions. Reports of
insect damage to winter wheat
and to the low temperature in the
southwest were noted. The weeks
exports of wheat expanded more
than a million bushels over those
of the week before.
The bulge in the Canadian group
pulled prices up in the latter part
of the day, but the movement was
inconclusive and the days net
changes were mostly trivial.

NEW YORK, May 13-Bradstreets' tomor-
row will say; Trade is quiet whole, un-
favorable weather, the indefinite crop outlook

Various wage advances have slcreased pro

good. Woolens and worsteds are quiet. Yarns
show little more movement at sacrifice on
costs.
Immediate trading in boots and shoes is
quiet, but the business now placed shows de-
cided gain over several months ago, and ship
ments continue to increase. The market for
hides shows even dullness this week than
last and sales of domestic packer and country
hides are few and scattered. Prices are dr-
