STOCK MARKET |S
 DULL AND INACTIVE
British Tax on American Securities Affect Prices
 on Stock Exchange

New York, May 26.-The only unusual feature of todays market, aside from it's uninterrupted irregularity, was the pronounced dullness, dealings diminishing by over 50 per cent from the active ses- sions of the early week. Sentiment still favored the short account, the profes- sional element inclining more strongly to that side because of the additional tax which the British government intends to levy in incomes derived from American securities.
 There is d divergency of opinion ill local banking circles as to the effect of this measure, some financiers believing that it will precipitate rresh foreign liquidation, while others regard it as the only way by which the British treas ury can accomplish it's mobilization plans.
 Chairman Garys address before the steel institute threw no new light on conditions in the steel and iron industry, but had the effect of imparting some sta- bility to steel and kindred shares. The balance of the list except TOT occasional spurts of activity and strength in minor specialties sagged generally under yes- terdays final figures.
 Reading was once more the leader of the rails, recovering some points from Its close of the previous session, put yielding much of this in the last hour. Copper and zinc shares followed the downward trend, with shipping snares and some of the more prominent munl- tons These losses were offset in part by gains in the rubber group, Continen- tai Can and others of an equally specu- lative character

STEADY ADVANCE IN PRICE OF WHEAT
Reports of Crop Damage by DrOuth and Hessian Fly
 Send Prices Up

l Chicago. May 26-Spreading of crop
 damage to the western third of Kansas.
 where heretofore prospects have been
 generally regarded as excellent was the chief basis of an advance, which took
 place today in the price of wheat. The market closed steady I1sd1k to 1ssc net l higher, with July at S.11%d1. IFS, and September at s1.127s. Corn finished ssc off to s4e up; oats at gains of k to 1hc.
 and provisions 121s to 371sc down According to trade reports here wheat crop conditions in six western counties | of Kansas had fallen today to an aver age of 66 per cent as against ss per
 cent on May l. In Ellis county, one of the six counties referred to- the cause I of damage was said to be hessian fIv. but in the other five counties the trou- ble was ascribed to lack of rain. Bull fish crop advices came also from south ern Kansas and from Oklahoma, In- diana and the Pacific northwest Four | of the largest counties in Washington state were represented as showing 15 points decline in condition since the be- ginning of May. Unseasonably cold tHcdluSi was tHe reason gwen for the backwardness of the crop
 About the only unimpaired offset for l the increasing complaints of drought and excessive heat in southern Kansa S , and Oklahoma was the fact that Ne braska- crop prospects, remained good There were favorable reports, too from the Dakotas and Minnesota, but these re- ports were qualified by assertions of seriously diminished acreage. The day's volume of transactions was the largest Tn sometime, and included much public buying that helped to absorb realizing sales on the Bulges.
 In the corn pit predictions that re- ceipts would materially increase next week tended to wipe out an advance which had been scored in the first half l of the session. The early strength was
 mainly due to the upturn in the value | or wheat. Oats went higher in price mainly because of damage reports from Oklahoma and Kansas. Besides t,e,e was an active demand from the sea board.
 Provisions declined with holdings. It was said that numerous hedging sales of
 lard were made here against holdings in Liverpool, as British prices were rela- lively at premium.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF COTTON MARKET. Market Weak and Unsettled During Past Week With
 Decline in Prices

New York May 2s.--The cotton mar ket has been weak and unsettled dur ing the past week with prizes showing declines of approximately $3 per bale from the recent high level. Favorable weather and crop accounts combined with rather a less optimistic view of prospects for immediate peace nego- tiations seemed to be responsible for more or less general liquidation and scattered selling. The decline was checked around the l2%-cent level by the appearance of moderate de- mand from trade interests, however, while there has been little or no southern hedge selling reported and prices at the close tonight showed rallies of several points from the low est Notwithstanding the unfavorable character of the weekly report of the weather bureau the disposition has
 evidently been to discount an official condition figure we'll up to the 10-year average, While there has also been a very general inclination to expect larger acreage figures from private au- thorities during the next few days than those publish toward the end of April One of these private reports issued during the week made the in- crease in area 12.7 per cent compared with an earlier season estimate of 9.2 per cent and placed the condition of the crop at S0.6 per cent compared with the official 10-year average of 79N per cent. Scattering reports from the south have complained of delayed ger1nina- tion and a late season owing to wet weather or low femperatureS earlier in the month, but. weather conditions recently have been more favorable and the crop is supposed to have made good progress during the past few days. Some scattered southern selling from New Orleans, Memphis and eastern belt sources is supposed to have been based upon this improvement in crop pros- poets, while the decline has also re- flected Wall street liquidation on the less favorable view of the political news. Advices from the dry goods trade, however, have indicated no dim- unition. of activity and the buying en countered on a scale down is sup posed to have been inspired by a feel- ing that the strengthened technical po- sition would render the market very sensitive to any recurrence of unfa- vorable weather or to anything in the shaps of more definite peace rumors

PRICES REMAIN FIRM
 ON MORRIS AVENUE
No Change in Quotations Yesterday-Sea Food Is
 Still Scarce

Morris avenue prices have toned down to steadiness, probably until next week, For the past several days there has been a general unsteadiness in practically all local quotations. No change was noted yesterday, and the prices are likely to remain firm over today, with probably changes in view for Monday.
 There has been no marked relief in the fish famine that has clutched Bir- mingham since last fall. Dealers say fish of all kinds have been scarcer this season than they ever knew before. Only small shipments of mackerel, red snapper and trout have been obtained this week.
