CLOSING MARKET
DULL AND NARROW
Few Soft Spots Uncovered, but
the General Movement Was
Meaningless

New York. May 22.-Contrasted With
some Of the recent excited sessions 10.
days stock market was a very tame af.
fair. In the first place there was little
business done. as there was q general
disinclination to do much on either
side Of the market Price movement, in
consequence was restricted within un.
usually narrow limits and carried little
or no significance, being made up for
the most part in the usual week end
operations Of the professional trading
contingent, One or two weak spots
developed, notably Sinclair Oil and
Missouri, Kansas & TeNas Railroad
common stock These individual exhi-
bitions of softness were the outcome
Of purely local developments and totally
without influence upon the general
list.
Overnight developments were gener.
ally construed as favorable TO- the mar
ket, but. like Yesterday. the greater
part of the list exhibited striking un.
responsiveness This indicated clearly
that the impairment of market com.
mittments earlier in the week and ere
ated a situation that would not be es-
sentially improved by overnight devel-
opments. In brief. the usual calm pre-
vailed that generally follows a period
of drastic liquidation and violent huc-
tuatons such as witnessed on Thurs.
day.
Most Of the more prominent specula.
tive issues were active and strong at
the opening especially the oils. which
were strengthened by the uuconfrmed
rumors of the death of the former Presi
dent Carranza. Further efforts on the
part of the Interstate Commerce Com.

rails. while the sugar group recovered
materially from Yesterdays sharp set
back. None of these gains. however,
we're held, as the buying demand was
quickly supplied in all parts of the list.
Some little pressure cropped up here
and there through the list, but the
natural inclination Of the market was 10
