STOCKS AND BONDS
BY aEViEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, May 22.-For tho 1 first time in several weeks trading or the stock exchange today was marked by an absence of excitement and vio lent fluctuations. Dealings were com paratively moderate, falling consider ably under the heavy daily totals of last week.
 The bond market participated 10 an unusual extent in the days less spec. tacular operations, various domestic issues, notably low priced speculative rails and several of the foreign flota. tions, denoting a confident inquiry.
 Steels, especially the independent division, were active and strong at gains of 1 to points, their advance being accelerated by reports that the government contemplated large orders for rails and other equipment.
 Oils were the mainstay of the early and intermediate periods, rising two almost 4 points and motors were re- sponsive to better trade conditions, though easing later on heaviness on al. lied specialties, such as rubber issues.
 Metals and utilities made pronounc. ed headway the former being featur- ed by National Lead and United States Smelling and the latter by ex- press shares, American, Adams and Wells Fargo gaining to 14 points, but rails, tobaccos and feathers were irregular. Sales amounted to 1,235 DOC shares.
 Liberty issues augmented the gen eral strength of the bond market, with local fractions. Total sales, par value, aggregated $14,5O0,O0O. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call

rHE eRAIN MARKERS

CHICAGO, May 2i-Authoritative opinions that the 1919 corn crop is now two weeks late did a good deal to offset bearish factors in the corn mar ket. Prices closed unsettled, 1kc net lower to % advance, with July S1.631s to $1.63A and September $1.5S1s to S1.5SH. Oats finished unchanged to to 40c down.
 Corn traders who were friendly to the selling discovered that buying or ders came into play whenever values made decided tip. In this connec- tion bulls laid chief stress on a state. ment from a leading crop expert that much corn, especially in the big sur plus producing states, might have to be replanted unless weather conditions which have been too cold and wet were changed without further delay.
 Scantiness of receipts here and at other large centers tended also to bake harden, and No. yellow for i'm mediate delivery commanded the high est price yet this season. On the other hand hog quotations were sharp ly lower and there were reports that a cargo of Augustine corn coming west by special train would cost 200 under May contracts in Chicago de- livered.
 Gossip. that foreigners were buying futures helped to give comparative strength to oats. Provisions fell with hogs.
