NEW YORK, April 17.-Stocks
drifted lower in sluggish trading to-

The European jig-saw puzzle. in
Guiding vitriolic comments in Italy
and Germany on the Presidents
peace proposal and doubts as to the
next steps of the dictator nations,
tended to further confuse specu-

lacked sufficient vitality to spur
buying forces.

liquidation here. Offerings dried I'd

The expected rejection OF the

surprising to financial quarters and
the favorable response of Latin

deemed moderately encouraging.

THE American market, he added

The chemical shortage which con-
fronted American industry at the
outbreak of the World War in 1914
