Quietest Market in Months Report

New York. March LIN the most
quiet stock market for months, prices
were not materially changed today.
Trading was in such light volume.

the market had any trend at all. A
dozen reasons were given
Those Of greatest importances were
the fear Of something unpleasant in
the japanese situation, doubt as TO
the final shape of the war finance bill.
and the railroad bill.
Report from Washington that the
manufacture of passenger autos would
be restricted caused some selling of
the motor shares. They were we'll
taken, however. on the decline and re-
gained nearly all they lost.
Baldwin directors announced that
they would not pay any dividend at
this time on the common stock.
Railway Steel Springs responded
with an advance Of about 2 points to
its report showing 4sl per cent
earned in 1917 against 1881 In 1915.

that eggs have reached the lowest ebb On abe

There Is a reason for the assumption that eggs
will go higher Western markets have just
finished unloading cold storage stock and DOW
there is a demand for the new. All the big
packing companies in the Middle West have
begun buying and there will be no further
