NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The stock
market yielded to repeated raids to-
day and in spite of brief rallies, the
general tone was weak and the
close lower There was evidence that
the operations were largely profes'
;sional and that the public WAS pretty
well out of the market.
During the last hour there was a
drive on Crucible which sold that
stock down to 200h. compared with
a high of 209h. Weakness Of Cru
chile was due to what the trade re
garded as disappointing declaration
of delayed stock dividends at today's
meeting.
The closing prices were: U. s.

Mexican Petroleum rallied five points.
All of the oil shares came back easily
after the professional PRESSURE was

The rally did not last long and
afternoon there was another raid on
motors and steels. Republic Steel at

Daily Stock Letter.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Trading was quiet and thin today
and price reactions were obviously
the result of well directed speculative
raids rather than liquidation of long
accounts.
In most cases the list yielded to
points at the opening and a sagging
tendency was in evidence through
greater part Of the first hour. There
followed brief period Of stiffening
which served merely to usher in
still broader decline.
There was little Of interest in the
later trading. Business was sluggish
and at intervals some improvement
was noted but on the whole there was
no resiliency. This was evident in
industrials and rails alike. although
the latter were at no time subjected to
the same degree OF pressure as the
former. War bonds in general were
steady. liz.

Attorney General Palmer at the time
of the coal strike crisis told the presi.

fore him.
Colonel House, it was learned, in
tervened to preserve relations be-
tween Wilson and Lansing while
they were in Paris, but after their
return to the. United States when
House no longer saw the president,
this influence was removed and the
bitterness between the two men in
creased.
The suggestion that other cabinet
members who were as much involved
as Lansing in the cabinet meetings
would also offer to resign. is waved
aside at the white house. Lansing

but they were merely contributory
factors, it was stated. The real
reason for the final collision Tas

said.
Wilson's opposition to the allied
proposals for settlement of the Fiume
problem, his reiteration of his orig.

today as indications that he will not
