FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET SAGS.
DeGIne Due to Lack Of Support Rath-
 or Than Bear Pressure.

New York. March 12-Bullish spec ulators apparently lost all interest in the stock Snarket today and it sagged of it's own weight. Distinct weakness of cases the movement was not large. The decline was due to lack of sup port rather than to active efforts to force down prices. Trading was dull, with no evidence of severe pressure on the general list, although a few stocks reflected persistent selling.
 Canadian Pacific was sold by Lon don, Berlin and Montreal and touch ed a figure three points under yester- days close. European selling was re- sumed also in some of the low priced railroad shares. The Denver and Rio Grande issues sold at the years low marks Rock Island common went to 4 Is and the preferred to 3-4, both new low records. Norfolk Southern dropped five points owing to uncer- tainty as to the continued payment of dividends. Among the industrials the sugar stocks again sagged. Amer ican Sugar dropped to 97, the lowest figure since 1908. Express shares sagged sharply following the further cut in the American Express dividend rates.
 There was little in the days news to influence prices From the steel trade came reports of price shading. The financial requirements of some of the weaker railroads and indus trial concerns continued to find refiec- ton in stock market movements. Traders thought it improbable that speculation on a large scale would be resumed until some of the puzzling features of the present situation were cleared up. The Rock Island and New Hagen tangles, the prolonged uncer tainty regarding the Me&iCPn question and the indefnitc status of general business conditions all tend to confuse sentiment and restrict speculative aC- tivity.
 In the bond market the movement was similar to that in stocks. Prices in most cases were shaded and severe losses were recorded in various low grade issues. Total sales, par value, s2,276,0o0
