Little Price Movement in
Dull SesSion-Bond
Trading Broad.

The week in security trading opened
about as dull IA last week closed.
Dealings on the stock Exchange yes
terday amounted 20 a total OF less than
10000 shares, with trading in a great
" restricted list. Prices. however, held
firm, and fractional gains were general
on the day among the more active
stocks. Trading I'm bonds, though In
moderate volume, covered a large num-
Der OF issues. Price movement here
too, was small. The long drawn out
session Of the Supreme Court and tho
approach Of Easter. with possible hoh-
days at the end OF the week, without
doubt had their part in discouraging
whatever impulse toward market ac-
tivity might otherwise have appeared.
Pending the settlement. London trad
ing in this market was negligible.
American securities in London were
quiet and irregular. Here the market
opened at about the final levels OF
Saturday. There was a little general
hardening Of prices in the early trad
ing. but activity almost ceased there
after, stocks most generally dealt in

nent. Alaska Gold and Goodrich were
two Of the four most active stocks.

hected in a sale Of Flint & Pere Mar
ouette. Port Huron division 5s at 81
points below the last previous sale.
Outside news had slight market ef-
feet. Little interest was displayed in
the finding Of General Carranza that
the Englishman, Benton, was not killed
after court martial. but had been muir
dered by a subordinate Of Villa. A
Berlin failure. with some S6OOO'OOO Of
liabilities and $175,O00 assets, was
sequence Of the collapse of the so
called princes Trust" which was
kind OF Germany for Germans move
ment. and had little direct bearing here.
The wheat estimate due to-day was put
unusually high in the forecasts.

reared in response to the unfavorable
