NEW YORK, May 13.-There was
little change in stock market aspects
today, either in the matter of business
or prices. Dizziness and steadiness
prevailed until the last hour when
there was some general softening Of
the share list, The pressure looked
very much like hasty realizing hy
traders. accompanied by little for
eign selling. The close was steady, hut
for the most part at or about the low

differences from Tuesdays final quota

Missouri Pacific was a rather con-
spicuous exception to the last hour de-
ciining movement. This stock. which
had suddenly ceased its feverish
fluctuations, started upward just as
other issues were going down. There
was nothing In particular Ia. account
for this change save the probability
that the shares would be at least tenn
porariiy relieved of some drag by ac-
ceptance of the management pro-
posal to extend at higher rate Of in
terest on the s25,0o0,0o0 notes due in
June.
Utah Copper, leading the copper
metal group, provided a supporting in
ifluence for quoted values during the
bulk of the session. although there
was nothing in the trade situation TO
suggest reason for aggressive
strength in the copper issues. Gem
eral Motors was again a strong
specially on limited dealings, and a
reason for It's further advance lately
was indicated by the announcement
that the company had anticipated s2,-
600. 900 of sinking fund obligations
which will not accrue until October.
Advices from abroad were none too
good regarding financial positions,
notably at Continental centers and the
Continental bourses were weak. There
was talk here about renewed prepar-
alton for the helated French govern
ment loan, hut the talk appeared to
he premature Paris and eBriin were
described as additionally disturbed by
trade and financial troubles in Rus
STA, and as none too cheerful over the
banking situation which has Just been
salvaged in London.
