NEW YORK, May 23.-Today's stock mar

took on stocks In the latter part OF last
week In the expectation that broadening
OF demand and rise in prices were to be

of prices was directly due TO selling to

the expected demand was not In evidence.
The deeper causes for the action Of the
market, or its lack of action, still remain
obscure. The tone became decidedly weak
by the end OF the day.
The alleged progress of negotiations for
the sale Of bonds to Paris bank
ers was a subject Of discussion again. with
the old assertion that official announce
ment was imminent There was also in
sistence on the prospect that the old pro-
Bourse was near it's consummation. The
stock market was not influenced by these
claims nor by the reports of signs OF re-
vlval In the iron trade.
The sharp break in wheat prices bore out
the news of increasingly favorable crop con-
dltions, but allowance was made for the
difficulty Of the speculative position in the
market. The evidence of liquidation there
