STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, May 25.-The stock market today experienced three dis tinct phases. t opened with an ir- regular tone. developed general heavi- ness during the intermediate period and ended with rallies of one to four points in which many losses were re- trieved
 The shadow of additional dividend suspension hung over the market but it was not until shortly before the close that passing of the Lackawanna Steel common quarterly disbursement was announced.
 There were other adverse factors, however, such as reports from impor- tant industrial centers of further slowing down of operations. These conditions applied especially to the steel and iron trade and rubber tire production.
 :, Rails were dormant most of the final hour, with Mexican Petroleum and several closely held specialties, steels and equipments. Sales amount ed to S25,0O0 shares.
 Little or no relief from prevailing money conditions was evinced by rates for call and time funds On the exchange all demand loans were made at per cent, the firm tone be. ing ascribed to further withdrawals of reserves by local and interior banks.
 Foreign exchange was reactiOnary, especially sterling or British remit tances, these falling to s393A against last weeks maximum of s4. Ail con- tinental exchanges were quotably low CT. the Dutch rate falling 30 points.
 Liberty bonds closed at variable gains and the general trend of most domestic issues was toward steadi- ness, but foreign bonds were irregu- lar, interest centering in tomorrow $

May Wheat Scars
 To Highest Mark
 Of This Season

CHICAGO, May 25.-Mas wheat scored another spectacular advance today, at one period reaching s1.S5, the highest price at which the option has sold this season and 11A cents higher than yesterdays close. Al though the trade in May was not par ticularly large, belated shorts scram- bled for cover in the market that at times was bare of offerings. The close was at $179%.
 In July wheat there was an enor- nous volume of business with little variation in price. From an opening at $1.3S there was an advance to $1.36%, but this gain was lost in the final hour. The final quotation was $1.3212, more than cent under the previous close.

 The senator said he hoped to bring abcut conferences which would i'm prove relations between the Soviet and the American governments.
