FINANCIAL REVIEW
OF THE PAST WEEK
Stock Market Was More Than ordi-
nariIy Susceptible to Conflicting
Influences.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Tho stock
market this week was more than ordi-
narily susceptible to conflicting infiu-
ences. This was seen in the activity and
strength of few industrials and spe-
cialties and the heaviness frequently
manifested by rails, steels and other is
sues of less definite description.
Much of the favorable sentiment Gre
ated in the previous week by the deci-
sion of the railroad labor board to
cancel wage agreements seemed to
have been dispelled, while steels and
the various railroad equipments
shares were under the clout of fur
Their trade depression.
Collectively, oils far outu lced
al lother issues of the week. Accord
ing to poular opinion, however, the
carried greater conviction and force
had the junior or speculative shares
been less prominent.
There were occasional signs of an
easier or relaxed trend In the money
market, but the first indications of a
substantial demand for funds restor-
ed the demand to recent high quota
ton. The attitude of the local feder-
al reserve bank was not in line with
the New England branch, which in
the previous week reduced its dis
counts from Z to 6 per cent.
Economic developments at home
We're viewed with greater encourage
ment, especially in their relation to
labor conditions. Bankers with influ-
entail London connections intimated
that settlement of British Industrial
disturbances would pave the way to a
lowering of the British bank rate. In
other well informed international
quarters, however. such action was
regarded as highly improbable until
the whole question of German indem-
mites and reparations assumes a
more definite stage.
The success attending the f1otation
of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Sc
curities was accepted by financial in
terests as proof that large amounts
of investment money are seeking new
channels of outlet. This belief is
likely to be put to severe test in
the proposed offering of new Chicago
Burlington & Quincy railroad refund
ing bonds.

Rachmaninoff Plays Debussy

Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum," Ser
gel Rachmaninoff's new Victor Record
for April is something unusual rare
gem of piano art. II Is a brilliant
scintillating little number. flash of
composers genius to which the virtroso
adds new splendor. In every note is
the suggestion, the proof of a splendid
virile power such as few pianists ever
achieve.
A worid-song that ranks with the
greatest--"Oh Cease Thy Singing,
Maiden Fair" is the new Victor Record
sung by Mccormack with obbligato by-
Kreisler. Almost the last word in
Russian musical genius, perfect ex-
preston of that longing for beauty
which Is born in earnest, thoughtful
races, this song is a fragment of the
soul of Rachmaninoff. its composer
of eastern Russia, the violin sets up a
strain of mystery at the outset.
McCormack's voice takes up the
strain Of wonder and passionate rebel
lion against the woes and the deeper
mysteries of life. High. sweet, and
gently penetrant, the voice is followed
by the violin embroidering a tissue of
fantasies with strange. sad, almost SUI
pernnl beauty.
The La Scala Orchestra adds TO its
repertoire a beautiful antique dance
"Gagliarda." 1t was written BY the
father Of Calico. the great astronomer.
The record will delight lovers of or
chcstral music.
A song in popular style. "Just Little
House OF Love" is Sophie Brasiau's
April offering. The Accompaniment
surrounds the superb voice with splen-
