Americans after the battle was over"

LIGHT TRADING ON
 THE STREET TODAY
Dealings Are Light and Changes
 Are Fractional

New York, March 4.-Wau St. 10:3O a. m.-Although gains were in excess of losses at the outset of to- days trading, the market failed to manifest any very definite trend. Dealings were light and changes either way were mostly fractional. Specialties, including the munitions and motors, were under moderate pressure with minor recessions in some of the standard rails. U. $. Steel, which led yesterdays late rally eased off after making slight improvement. Later the sagging ten dency became more marked, most inn portant stocks falling under yester- Gay's final quotations.
 New York, March 4.-Dullness and indecision were the chief character istics of todays short session of the stock exchange, the market remaining under the restraints imposed by the complicated situation at Washington. Dealings were so professional as to deprive them of actual significance. The closing was irregular. Bonds were steady.
