FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS SLOW.
Prices FIuotuated Within a Marrow Margin-Net Changes Unimportant

New York, May 5-Speculation was slow and irresolute today, The confl- deaee with which prices were bid up on the recent rise was missing. Out 'sfde buying fell off greatly and pro- feeeional traders shifted from one side ef the market to the other with the result that quotations alternately rose and fell within 8 marrow range. Net changes were unsmportant.
 The markets hesitation reflected the attitude of traders, who considered the outlook too uncertain to permit ef entering upon heavy commitments. In none of the factors bearing upon tAe speculative situation was there any important change, and the mark ct drifted idly through most of the session.
 E London prices were barely changed and foreign representatives did little here. Perhaps 5000 shares were sold for London. This selling, together with realizing sales. sent prices lower at the outset The Hin shares led the decline. Northern Pacific losing two points on the report that new bond issue stock was to be put out. The report met with prompt denial, follow ed by recovery in the stock. Mis- seu11 Pacific made @ temporary show ing cf strength, owing to the ex pectadon of an early announcement of new financial backing for the road, but 1t sold down in the last hour, after 1t became known that no definite action had been taken by the directors at today's meeting. The whole list eased off in the late. dealings, aft CT various shares had made net gains of a point or more and last prices were near tho days lowest.
 Further cuts in crude oil prices and reductions in dividentds by pipe line compalies caused a tumble in oil stocks On the curb In some cases the declines ran to twenty points or more.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2,3o0,0 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
