Operations Of Pools and
CIiques Responsible for
Changes; Motor Stocks Reg
lister Pronounced Gains.

ray MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
New York, April 4.-Operations of
pools and cliques were solely respon-
sble for such changes as occurred in
today's professional market. Prices
were mostly higher in the active fore
noon, but yielded generally in the dull
dealings of the latter session.
The most extreme gains Of the
morning were confined to a half dozen
mixed issues such as Willys-Overland,
Studebaker and Chandler among the
motors. those stocks rising four to
eight points.
There also were temporary gains
Of one to two points in copper and
zinc shares, half score of industrials
and equipments and some of the fer
tilizers and tobaccos while rails like
the New Haven and Delaware and
Hudson improved their position by a
point or more.
Sugar shares were consistently
weak, Cuban American losing twenty
to go and South Porto Rico ten to
206.
The list in general was heaviest in
the last hour. when rumors purporting
to give an outline of Washington's
view Of the international situation
provoked declines of one to three
points, munitions being the principal
losers. Crucible Steel. American Lo-
connective and United Steel Industrial
Alcohol were most susceptible to pres
sure.
General news bearing upon the mar
ket was again Of a favorable char
acter including additional splendid
railway earnings and increased steel
orders.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, amounted to $4,610,000.
United States bonds were unchang-
ed on call.
