STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN MIXED MARKET
Trading Slows Down as Re-
dictionary Tendencies Ap-
pear in Afternoon.
BY STANLEY w, PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Resumption
Of business after the three-day Stock
Exchange holiday today disclosed a
two-Sided market, in which reactionary
tendencies predominated. Trading
started off at a brisk pace, total sales
crossing the 100000 share mark be-
fore noon, but slowed down in the early
afternoon as the ticker caught up with
the market and operators for the adj
vance found it rather difficult to at
tract an outside following, except in a
few special groups.
Business news was of naked char
acter. Failure of the recent drastic
cut in the price of copper to stimulate
q heavy domestic demand led to fears
of a further reduction, with the result
that most of the leading copper stocks
dropped ! to points to new low levels
for the year. The E. 1. du Pont de
Nemours and Hudson Motor Cos pub
lished earnings statements, which made
unfavorable comparisons with the first
quarter Of last year. California re-
ported q substantial increase in crude
oil production last week.
In the copper group CRANKY dropped
z points, and Anaconda, Kennecott,
Nevada, Miami, Magma and Calumet g.
Hecla fell "a to 4 points, all at new
lows for the year. American Car &
Foundry, American Locomotive and
Hudson Motors also touched new lows.

Fox Theaters ran up more than z
points to a new high at 552s on the an
nouncement of the new financing In
connection with the recent acquisition
of control by the General Theaters

The stock sold as low as 1915 this
year. New highs for the year also were

DECLINE IN COMMODITY
PRICES Is RESUMED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 21.-As was to be
expected, the sharp decline in the price
of copper has brought with 1t another
reaction in commodity prices after the
advance of the last two weeks. The
another abrupt slump, bringing it near
the lowest of the year. It will be in
teresting to observe the movement IN
the commodity average from now on,
as copper was supposed to be the last OF
the important commodities TO be de-
fiated. If this theory is correct the
whole list ought to show a more stable
condition throughout the remainder OF
the Spring.
