There was a smaller demand for caSh wheat on

In the World of Finance and Trade
RUSSIA Big FACTOR
in STOCK TRADING
St Paul and Erie Show Distress-In-
dustrial Alcohol Strong.

CBy the International News seEvice.)
New York, May l5.-Russia was written
large over everything in Wall Street to-
day. The pools that had bought special
ties and were trying to manipulate them
into the hands OF the public again had
to have good news from Russia to get
out. but instead Of that nothing but
gloom came from that quarter. Even
the hope Of a peace speech by Won Beth
mann-Hollweg was abandoned when he
announced that to state Germany'5 peace
terms ct this time would do no good. The
result was that the market which OPEN
ed weak. gained in strength. then became
dull and gradually faded away toward
the close of the session. The usual short
covering took place in the last few min
utes. so that final quotations were not
the very lowest, but the market as a
whole showed some important net de-
clines.
Aside from Russia. the local fractions
and st. Paul Railroad were most dis
cussed. st. Paul. after early strength,
touched its previous low record when
somebody with few thousand shares
got an inkling OF what the April earnings
viii be.
Erie stock is showing distress also.
About the only bright spot In the days
market was Industrial Alcohol which
was strong in expectation OF dividends.
Lehigh Valley made a new low record,
as did also Great Northern.
Attempts to renew for four months
money that will become due on June
uncovered the fact that the rate is going
to be materially higher. On one import
ant loan for four months that has been
standing at 5 1-2 per cent, per cent was
demanded today beginning June !.

COTTON MARKETS.

New YORK, May l5.-There was a better tone to
the cotton market toward the close today following
weakness Reports current Of further transfers
Of interests from grain to cotton, which probably
We're caused BY moderate buying through houses

this was offset as an influence by favorable crop
weather in the belt and a. a result trading was
narrow at the opening. The tone, however was
steady. prices being l point lower 10 points net
higher. After the call prices rose 2 70 points
within few minutes but the higher prices brought
out some selling, and quotations almost Immediately
reacted to the initial leTeA.
Offerings increased after II O'Clock and the market
broke sharply in the absence OF any immediate
support. July eased of to 1888 and October 10 10 o.
or Is to q points net lower. The oontracts were
absorbed on a scale down to this level, however
and the market less active toward midday with
prices showing rallies Of OF points
The midattenoon market ruled quiet and steady
at net decline Of about 3 points
Reports Of allied successes against submarines
started local covering movement in the last hour
which rallied prices Is to 20 points Houses with
New Orleans and Western connections also were
buyers, principally Of CROPS, while spot firms
bought the summer months. The close was steady
at net decline Of to Il points.

derstood, maintained its favorable earn
ing record for April Although the Off
cial statement OF revenues for that month
has not been made public, the financial
district hears that there was a gain OF

as compared with April Of 1916.
Vice President and General Manager
], ]. Doyle has not yet taken up for con-
sideration the question of curtailing pas
senger service between Baltimore, Annap-
oils and Washington. The management
does not believe II will be necessary for
the Washington, Baltimore and Annapo-
lis to withdraw any of its electric trains
The fact Is emphasized that the great
bulk OF traffic Is derived from passenger
business and not freight. OF course,
freight and express matter is handled,
but this character of traffic constitutes a
small portion of the total business. The
frequent schedule Of trains between the
three cities has been a feature of the
operations on the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis, and II is not believed that
the present schedule will be disturbed.
