WEEK OF DULLNESS
BROUGHT TO CLOSE
Price Changes Among Ac-
tive Stocks Trivial-Lon-
dOn's Influence Neutral

New York, November 22.-Today's
stock market brought to close a week
of dullness which for this season of
the year is almost unparalleled.
Trading was as listless as on the
preceding sessions of the week. Price
changes among the active stocks were
trivial.
The amount of business was only
about $1,000 shares. The market ap-
peared to be impervious to the influ-
ence of adverse factors.
AS the Mexican situation remains
day after day without change, less at
tention is being paid to its bearing on
the course of prices.
Londons influence in the domestic
market was neutral owing to the ir-
regular course of American stocks
abroad and absence of foreign trading
here.
The weeks reviews of trade told of
indications of curtailment in various
lines as it now stands. Another dis
turbing feature was the acute weak
ness of various industrial stocks of
which Mexican petroleum was most
conspicuous. Within a few minutes aft
Ct lHe opening lllS STOCK broke ~
TO within a fraction of its low record.
1t rallied afterward. The apparent in
difference of the market to these in
iiuences was ascribed to the stability
which it derived from the short in
terest built up recently
Although there was little evidence
of efforts to advance stocks there was
fractional raises throughout the active
list Late selling of Reading and
Union Pacific brought about some re-
verse movement, however, but the close
showed no definite settlement.
The bank statement was disappoint-
ing Although a substantial cash gain
had been indicated by known move
ments of currency there was an actual
loss of S1,277,000 Loans increased s2ti-
744,000 This presumably reflected the
financing of the week and the net re-
suit was to cut down the surplus by
over S6000,000.
Bonds We're quiet Total sales, par
value $4,000. United States bonds on
call for the week were unchanged.
