FINANCIAL COMMENT


BY Private Wire 10 4. K. Masten & Co.
NEW YORK. April c6.--Activity on
the market will be- at low ebb to-day
and especially in view OF the disinclina-
ton to engage in commitments pend
inE the renewed German drive on tho
west front. also in View OF tho two short
sessions If to-day and Tomorrow.
Although the market prices closed at
some concession yesterday the under
tone remains healthy and firm
There is no particular news in cir
culaiiun regarding developments on the
western battle front but IN air Of con-
fidence over prospective developments
in that territory seems 10 prevail In
local circles and rs the offerings IN
stocks arc exceptionally light the
floor traders are more disposed to labor
on the long side
Town Topics says: Market conditions
seems tn be strong. Most recent selling
in Steel and other leaders has been by
outsiders. The. steel report will be out
Tuesday. An Increasing ratio OF earn
ings for thc months OF the first quar-
ter will be the counter argument To the
pour full figures. The regular diyi-
tlcnd 10 give courage. especially rs
enormous equipment contracts are soon
Ia be issued with more to come lat"r.
Tho steel and equipment groups should
~ brought on the soft spots
