NATURALLY VERY SLOW

NEW YORK. March 22.-It was but
natural to expect highly nervous

themselves up to reading bulletins
from the great battle.
OF course there are Traders VINO Will
always buy back and forth AMI sell If
the slightest profit is in sight or. II
there is chance to turn u perny, sell
just as quickly.
The market was narrow every minute
of the session. Probably ?. of point
rally covered the earlier gains and as
the session progressed these were
gradually wiped out.
Reactions in equipments averaged a
point. while Canadian Pacific and the
coalers took an additional setback. Corn
products was the most active feature or
the first hour although gaining only a
slight fraction.
Sinclair Oil was persistently weak. and
Central Leather showed unusual soft
ness for it
Easier trend in money rates was ac-
credited TO the money pool. But the
third liberty loan is being watched for
the effect it will have on money. If the
Offering is smaller than originally out
lined it will have a distinct effect on
the money market
Naturally the German drive. in its full
results. will be the dominant factor of
the immediate future.
