Trading Was Light
and Prices UNCHANGED

New York, April 1S.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today stock market was peculiarly
symptomatic of conditions prevailing
in financial and securities circles.
There was firm undertone in the
main, but trading was light. There
were no indications of outside partic-
ipation.
At the moment the traders are in
clined to be bullish. This tended to set
In motion short covering movement,
with occasional good buying of the
steel and railroad shares. Probably the
principal spur to this movement was
the pleasure with which the financial
community welcomed the government s
belated announcement to consult with
the bankers of the country concerning
the flotation of the Forthcoming bond
issue.
Short covering operations were in
sufficient to keep the general list from
wavering not little at times. United
States Steel sold as high as 112, up IA
but later sold below 110, and in the
AFTERNOON was fractionally above Ill.
The other steel shares and most of the
industrials behaved in much the same
way The shipping shares lost most of
their earlier gains, the motor issues
were distinctly weak throughout.
The railroad list was inclined 10
move upward whenever it moved at
all. Union Pacific and Reading gained
over a point.

SCANDINAVIA FEARS
LOSS Of FOOD SUPPLY
Afraid America May Cut OF

navia is worried over the possibility of
America shutting off food supplies
from neutrals and concentrating on
the provisioning of its new allies in
the war. The anxiety with which such
a possibility is viewed was revealed
today by Premier Knudson of Norway
In an interview with the United Press.
Such move would be disastrous
to us, said Premier Kuudson "It
would cut off more than half of all
our grain supply. All our statesmen.
all of our people are hoping there will
be no such action. 1t seems incredible
that such undeserved unfriendliness is
seriously contemplated.
''Is any American food going
through Norway to Germany the
United Press correspondent asked the
premier.
:" There is absolutely no leakage into
Germany he declared emphaticallv,
/" although by agreement with England
we are sending into Germany com
paratively small quantity of Norwe-
gian fish. -
Premier hnudson expressed the great
est anxiety over news of an American
embargo on food shipments to neutrals
Not only are the Norwegians exercised
but word received here from Sweden
and Denmark indicates similar appre.
hcnsion in those nations.

cession and were heard at 9:41 this
morning.
Each of the three stations trans
mitted this report to the officers in
charge of the district"
That the firing must have indicated
some kind of conflict was deduced
from the statement of naval official
that the gun firing could scarcely have
been a salute, inasmuch as no salute'
can be fired during war time.

and occurring in rapid succession.
The third report was received at
9:35 from station 81 at Peaked Bars
Hills, which gave the direction as north
east by north and stated that the fir
ing was heavy and continuous and
seemed to be from three guns. 1t was
also reported that heavy firing was
heard at intervals since the first shots.
None of the stations gave any indi-
cation as to the time the first shots
were heard Officers at the Charles
town navy yard declared they were at
a loss to account for the firing, but in
addition to the theory of submarine
or raider attack, it suggested that it
might be welcoming salute to some
foreign ship or visltor.
