NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the LEADING Stocks


New York, April 11.-Extreme dull
ness settled over today's market. the
volume of operations falling far below
recent averages. There was some
promise of activity and strength at the
outset, but this was dissipated from
midday. The balance Of the session
was one irregular period Of stagnation
and narrow price changes.
Specifically at least, dealings were
again restricted by the uncertainties
surrounding the international situation
news regarding developments in Ger
many and Mexico exerted only mild in
terest until before the close, when ru-
mors of, an early "ultimatum' to Ber-
lin gained currency and provoked
fresh pressure.
Initial prices were mainly better, in
fact Immediately very decided gains
were registered, but these, as usual,
were limited to stocks supposedly un-
der control Of pools or cliques. Ad-
moderate offerings, which soon effaced
most gains. The only notable excep-
tions to this tendency were Cruciable
Steel, which led the days trading at an
extreme advance Of ~ to S4h and
United States Smelling. which rose to
Is. new record. Chandler motors also
scored a new maximum at 96% and
Ingersoll Rand achieved a like distinc-
ton on it's rise Of rs to 300.
New Haven was singled out for sale
during the first hour, declining 2M
to 70% in connection with reports of
unfavorable March earnings. Other
rails were quoted only internationally,
Southern Railway preferred and Dem
yer & Rio Grande preferred falling q
point each.
Disappointment was expressed at the
unresponsiveness Of Coppers and Unit
ed States Steel to remarkable trade
conditions. There were additional re-
ports Of large copper contracts for ex-
port, but these exercised no influence
upon the metal group.
Marines lost some Of their recent
prominence and strength as did also
United States Industrial Alcohol Pc
troleums and Zinc shares. No special
significance attached to movements OF
other specialties. Total sales amounted
to 100000 shares.
Exchange on Paris made the new
low rates Of s.o3A for checks. but lires
were stronger. with no material
changes in sterling and marks.
Bonds moved contrarily, the new
Canadian long-term issue rising q
point to 80. while Anglo-Frepch 81
manifested further heaviness. Total
sales (par valued. aggregated $4,15o, 900
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.
