TENDENCY TO RESTRAIN
ACTIVITY IN STOCKS

NEW YORK, May 17,-Tradlng in
securities this week was attended at
times by an undercurrent OF restraint,
but without apparent effect upon quoted
values. The volume OF business APP
preached and on one occasion exceeded
any OF the many extremely active ses-
sions Of the past four weeks, compre-
hending many issues previously ig-
nored.
Successful flotation OF the Victory
loan, signs of a release OF general in
dustry from long prevailing oppressive
conditions and only a nominal setback
In the highly promising crop outlook
were again the chief influences which
sustained the further advance,
These were offset In minor degree
by a temporary furry in the money
market, call loans rising to IN per cent
and a further slump in rates Of ex-
change to France and Italy. The most
encouraging feature OF the stock mar
ket was the strength Of rails, especially
dividend payers.
The free market for steel and iron
marked the first upward revision OF
prices for finished products since the
removal of sterilization measures. Pros
pective contracts were helpful to equip
ments and metal strengthened on a re-
newal of demand for coppers and the
sensational advance in silver,
