STOCK MARKET IS
IN AN IDLE MOOD
Midsummer Dizziness Prevails
in the Days Trading
UNLUCKY THIRTEENTH
Some Brokers Attributed Dizziness Il
HOOdOO Day While Others Consid-
cred British Market Factors
Were the Cause

New York, May 13.-Idleness and neg
lect eclipsed all signs of interest in the
stock market today. The traditional mid
summer dullness rarely finds a parallel
for the short waits for single transac-
tons, which were the rule today Some
of the lighter minded of the trade fra
ternity found no better explanation of the
abstention in the market than the fact
that 1t WAS Friday, the 18th.
The imminence of two days holiday
interval In London furnished a more ra-
tonal explanation. The influence of the
London situation on speculative sentiment
was increased by the evidence of a hard
ening money market. AT that center the
action of the Bank of England in main
tanning its official discount rate yesterday
In the face of an extraordinary strength
of condition attracted increased. attention
today and furthered the supposition thai
its control of the open money market
would be asserted to maintain money
rates. 8 H sS{f
This assumption set afioat some conjec-
ture over possible motives for this atti-
tude. The foreign exchange market was
rather disordered and fiuctuated with vio-
lence at recoveries from the recent. low
points The more authoritative reports o.
the large volume of American bonds being
placed abroad were without Influence in
the exchange market. 1t was said that
this was due to provisions making for lie
ferred payments of some of these SUBJ
scriptions and consequent postponement
of the offerings of exchange bills against
the payments. Highly speculative condi-
tions have grown up in the foreign ex-
change market In New York in common
with practically every other salable COM
modify and thesstrength is attributed to
an uncovered short interest which sought
to take advantage of the larger supply
growing out OF tho bond sales. The
strength of exchange however served to
heighten the effect of the hardening ten
dency reported in London's money mar
ket.
Preliminary estimates pointed to another
large gain in cash for the week by the
clearing house banks. the movement from
the. interior having been supplemented by
gains of subtreasury operations. The
money market showed no change in con-
ditions Wide movements in a few indi-
vidual stocks supplied the only features
Of Interest in the market. Only rumors
could be pointed to as explaining these.

influential in making the shorts uneasy.
Lack of rain in the spring wheat sec

of downpours on the winter crop.
Little attention was paid to statements
that southwestern receipts were increas-
