ANOTH FER DULL DAY.
Stock Movements irregular and Spec
 uiative Sentiment Confused.

New York April Achievements of stocks today were irregular, and spec u1atfYe SeutirH1 ent was confused. The alternate periods of advancing and de cIining prices represented little more than the n1omentary response to actIV ities of professional traders who ap
 peare6 to have the market in their own hands, Trading was dull much of the day and displayed a lack of Initiative, in the absence of new inn pulses from any quarter On the Up ward swings gains of point or more were made by some of the leading is sues and on the declines there were corresponding losses. Net changes on the day were small Pennsylvania at IA 1-2, New York Central and Baiti- more and Ohio all touched new low points for the year. Selling of Penn sylTania was carried on heavily at times. following yesterdays announce ment of a new issue of the stock
 The decline of 1000 tons of thrilled orders shown by the Steel corporation in it's monthly report had no effect on the stock, such a decrease having been clearly forecasted. That the figures fell off less than 200, 900 tons indicated that orders continued heavy last month. European buying of stocks here continued London's purchases today were about 30,0o0 shares, chiefly Steel, Amalgamated, Union Pacific and Erie. Recent foreign buying and the steadily improving position of the Eu ropean governmental banks indicate an improy ement in conditions abroad which it is expected will be a decided factor in this market. although some doubt is felt as to how extensively Europe will invest in American securfs ties until more confidence Is displayed by investors at home.
 The Bank of Engiand's statement to- day disclosed 8 further strengthening of reserves, amounting to over per cent, in last week. The sale of $10,- 000,000 New York Central one-year 5
 per cent. notes in London was accept ed as a further indication of the bet ter feeling abroad toward American securities. Lower prices prevailed for many of the important bonds. New York Central 3 1-2s lost two points. Total sales, par value. $2,720.000. United States bands were unchanged on call.

Cady tagged Lapp at third but. as he was entitled to the base he was safe; CooInbs returned to second and Mur- phy moved back toward first. Hall threw wild to Janvrin in an effort to catch Murphy.
