 New York, April 17.-Light dealings and irregular price changes attended the Eeek-end session of the stock market, ne turnover falling today to slender di- fnensions. There were occasional spells fof activity in steels, equipments, motors anu olls, and also in shippings,' rails, food and chemical shares, but these rep resented the tentative operations of pro- fessional interests.

The railroad strike and money market were outstand- ing influences the former by reason of it's effect on general business and in- dustries, and the latter because 1t de- noted further curtailment of "unessential credits
