STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Sag in Comparatively
Dull Trading.

Sentiment at the opening of the stock
market yesterday had a bcarish tinge
to it, which did not encourage any i'm
prcssive volume of trading. Price
changes were unilnportant and there
appeared to be some new stimulation
trading situation. The factors OF i'm
provement in the business world as
evidenced by trade reports were passed
over with hardly Il sign of recognition
The professional element was inclined
TO the short side in view OF the tech
meal position of the market resulting
from the covering by the bears during
the last few days, and the general de-
duction was that in the absence of any
specifically strong bullish inclination
stocks should be sold rather than pur-
chased. Commitments on the short
side, however, were not heavy, and the
market resolved itself into duh, UNI
interesting affair, which dragged along
through the morning session without
direction. Two ruling influences, pol
itics and money, lie underneath the
situation, which must be recognized as
debating to large degree the action or
prices at this time. Both OF these
factors bid fair to remain effective TO
greater or less extent for some time
to come. A significant development In
the money situation was the bidding by
Germany for money in this market yes
terday. One bid was reported TO be or
Ga per cent for loans from March III
to April 80. This shows that instead OF
any immediate relief from financial
pressure in Germany the outlook Is that
the period will be much longer than
was expected. Another incident or
more than passing Importance was the
advance in the foreign exchange rate.
Demand sterling rose to 4.SS and cables
TO 4SS70, which was the highest quota
ton for demand sterling since April,
1910. The return Of the Bank of Eng
land also gave evidence of the firm
status Of money and the demand for
funds abroad The proportion OF re-
serve to liabilities showed Ago per
cent, against 48.61 per cent last week.
1852 per cent on February 20 and 4o.SO
per cent on February 10. The Bank of
France also contributes a money strain
in its weekly statement.
The result of the days transactions
on the New York Stock Exchange was
q showing of irregularity, with q larger
display Of losses than gains. The total
business transacted was much smaller
than on Wednesday. The chief activity
was in Reading, which showed VOL
ume Of practically double the number
of transactions for the day Of those OF
any other stock, the next highest mum
Der Of sales being in United States
Steel. The foreign stock markets were
depressed on the less favorable view OF
the Continental situation and the
money strain.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Reports that the new Attorney General
Of the United states might endeavor TO

influence upon trading sentiment on the
