limited Press Leased Wire Service
NEW. YORK, March 16.-The New
York Evening Suns financial review
today said:
Today's stock market reflected
varying influences and presented an
extremely uneven surface in price
fluctuations.
A feature of the midday and after
noon trading was the strength of the
copper and shipping shares. The oils
had been strong in the first hour OF
two, but they lost ground later. The
motors also enjoyed intervals OF
strength, but they lacked consistent
support. The same thing could be
said of the steels and equipments
The rails were somewhat capricious,
but there was no great animation in
that quarter.
Price changes were decidedly
mixed in the last hour. Some issues
disclosed continuous Improvement
while others yielded to pressure
Most OF the standard shares were not
far removed from the closing levels
of Monday. Trading quieted down
materially as the session drew to a
close and in that interval profit tax.

buying in the nonspeculative quar-.

largely to the German situation.
