NEW YORK, April 7-Seiling pressure the morning hours by professional traders who made most of the failure of the Dawes report to make it's appearance over the week -end and the theory that Ger many would object to the provisions of the report anyway There was little resistance to these selling waves in consequence of which many groups that looked strongest toward the close of last week turned downward establishing quotations from fractions to { points below Saturday, s close.

 NEW YORK, April 7.-The market is still dull and under the domination of the boar party. It has been inactive in the extreme today and has shown a sagEing tendency. The news from Washington as we read 1t seems to be moderately more encouraging. but there Is nothing sufficiently concrete to start covering movement and the initial impulse for a turn for the better will no doubt come from the short interests. We suppose that 1t is only natural that the mark ct should be dull just now while all is un- certainty. There Is no pressure and it looks as if the selling were about over.
