MARKET
SHOWS DULL
Narrow and Hesitant Price
Movements Feature
Early Trading.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Narrow
and hesitant price movements
characterized the first two hours'
trading on the stock exchange to-
day. Occasional attempts to rally
the market met with little response
from the trading element, but on
the other hand, pressure was con.
siderably relaxed.
Having pounded the list for five
consecutive days, the letup in
operations for the decline was a
natural development and quite In
line with the program followed IN
previous bear campaigns. The re-
cent break had left the market in
a much stronger position and the
possibility of a rally OF SUBJ
stantial character was factor to
be taken id consideration. signs
of precautionary measures in an
ticipation of such a movement
was seen in the quiet covering
which was going in the. active
leaders like steel common, Bald
win. Can and Studebaker, unoer
cover of pressure elsewhere.
Additional reports of curtanmen
in the motor and steel industries
had a depressing effect In the
opening dealings. Announcement
that the American Sheet ana I'm
Plate Company reduced factory
activities to five days week, was
particularly disturbing. 1ndepenoent
steels. automobile and kindred
shares were fayorite bear targets,
but the dullness which ensued was
of an oversold conoltlon
and the market soon steadleo.
Stocks which suffered severaly yes
terday rallied a point or so but
the movement lacked vigor, al
though holding promise OF gaining
as soon as the danger
of an over-extended short account Is
better realized.
Shipping stocks formed the only
group in which the recovery. was
more pronounced, buying being
based on the improvement in inter
national trade. Oils, too. gave a
good account of themselves, while
rails exhibited steadiness with
special buying in Western Pacific
and Missouri Pacific preferred.
Trading in the second hour was
very quiet with improved tone In
steel common the outstanding
feature. Isolated weakness was dis
played in Yellow Cab and Chicago
yellow Cab, South Porto RIcan
sugar also experienced bad break.
Call money renewed at A per
cent.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Demand
on a large scale has not yet deveI.
oped for meat products, and prices
for beef, pork, lamb today continue
to show a declining tendency. Coun.
try dressed veal and lamb were in
liberal receipt in the local market
this week. and large distributors
reported little better INQUIRY for
late April and May delivery.
A summary of conditions in the
principal hog markets today reveals
the following situation: Chicago.
strong; st. Louis, prices lower, but
good inquiry for May delivery;
Kansas City steady; indianapolis,
lower; Cincinnati, market slow and
prices sagging; Cleveland, Louisville,
Detroit and Buffalo. steady, Pitts
Durgh, lower. Receipts this week
were slightly in excess Of the
previous week.
The domestic cash trade in pro-
visions, lard, ribs and beef products
are a little larger in volume than
in the last two previous weeks, and
prices fairly well maintained. Aside
from a small amount Of short Gov.
ering, no demand of consequence
developed for provision futures and
the market exhibits dragging ten
dency. The same may be said of
the poultry market where prices
exhibit increasing firmness.
Canned Alaska salmon and Maine
sardtnes are moving in good volume
and present stock is estimated as
sufficient to meet demand until
new packs appear. Tuna fish
market is unchanged.

FOR COLORADO TUNNEL

Tentative approval was given by

power, telephone and telegraph
wires, water, automobiles, and other
vehicles.
The construction Of this tunnel

rich timber, agricultural, grazing
and mineral resources OF a large

SOLDIER BONUS
BONDS ARE
POPULAR
Investment Bankers Rate
Them Highly, and Find
Ready Sales.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.

NEW YORK, April 11.-since
April 1922, thirteen states have sold
various issues Of soldier bonus
bonds in the total amount of
$22O, 200, 900 at prices indicating
cost to the states of from 40 to
per cent for money so employed,
summary showed today.
New York State apparently re-
ceived the best bid on its soldier
bonus bonds, as it was able to dis
pose Of $46, 900 900 on 4.10 basis
this week. This is due in part to
the States high credit rating. and
partly to the more favorable posi-
ton Of the money market.
Illinois sold 10000 900 of ~ and
AZ per cent bonds last year at
4.49, 4.65 and 4.73 per cent basis,
Kansas disposed of SIS, 200 900 on
basis Of 4.42 per cent; Iowa $22,-
000, 900 at 4.38 per cent; Michigan,
Sc, O0O, 900 at APT per cent and $10,-
900 900 in 1922 at 5.71 per cent; New
Jersey, $17,000,O00 in 1922 at 4.32
and per cent: Ohio, $20, OOO, 900 at
AL per cent; and Washington,
SAASVVV,VVV al Ola 0NSA06S VA O'V1
per cent.
Though at first investment bank
ers were somewhat Indifferent to
soldier bonus bond issues, they have
since gained in popularity and find
ready sale. Careful inquiry has
found them to be free from IRE
gularities that might affect their
legality. Institutions looking for
tax exempt bonds rate them high
ly, and in some states the bonds
have been a welcome addition to the
list designated to be held by banks
as special security against state
deposits.
Public offering was made today
by the National City Company and
associates of an issue Of $S.5OO,OO
