SH|PP|NGS WERE THE MOST PLAYED STOCK AMONG THE TRADERS
Reversals in the Final Hour Were Many, Caused by Foreign Rumors About
 Peace Treaty
By Associated Press

New York, May 21.-Shippings were the overshadowing features of today s further active operations on the stock exchange, their uncertain course changing a relatively strong opening and midsession to an irregular or heavy close.
 Publication of the details of the sale of Mercantile Marine British tonnage and assets created a strong opening for the shipping division, Marine com mon excepted, that stock sagging steadily, and closing at loss of almost points.
 The early movement in shipplngs was accompanied by active accunI- lation of oils, motors, equipments, feathers, fertilizers and sundry spe- cialties which usually move in keeping with those groups. extreme gains rang Ing from to almost 6 points.
 There was no decided move in rails besides sporadic activity in shares. es pecially Texas and Pacific and related western and southwestern issues, the higher grade stocks reflecting realiz- ing. with losses of to 2 points at the end
 The severe reversal of the final hour was precipitated by reports of a se- rfous hitch in the negotiations with the German delegates in Paris, but that in cident, it was generally believed, served more as an excuse than a req son for the decline
 Marine preferred. Atlantic Gulf and American International were most af- fected by the break in Marine common, but rails and numerous industrials also eased l to points. while oils and equipments cancelled much of their gains.
 Further demoralizations in remit tances to London, Paris and Rome at- tracted little attention, more interest being manifested in the easier trend of longtime funds.
 Minor rails and fractions were the strongest features of the bond market, Liberty issues holding steady and the foreign list varying slightly. Total sales (par value) aggreg gated $11,275,. 900. Old United States bonds were un- altered on call.
