STOCK MARKET TONE WEAK Declines in Majority of Issues —Business Volume Small. NEW YORK, Fei. IS.—The selling movement which started late yesterday was carried over at the opening of the stock market todify, causing declines In the majority of issues ranging from fractions to 2 points. Dealings were on a small scale. Atlantic Gnlf was under the heaviest pressure, falling 2 points to 62% United States Steel sold up Vi of a point to 83% and Crucible fell % of a point to 94. Mexl an Petroleum yielded % of a point to 160%, while Pan-Ainerican Petroleum, afto- advancinc % of a point to 77%, quickly lost the upturn. Chandler Motors dropped nearly 1 point to 71% and Kelly-Springfield fell 1 point to 44%. Central Leather was fractionally lower. The railroad group was active and strong. Reading rising a fraction while Norfolk & Western appeared to be In better demand on reports that the company will, with a reasonable time, announce a plan of segregation of Its coal properties. The coppers were unusually quiet. Atlantic Gulf provided the feature during the early afternoon, getting down to 55%, a loss of over 9 points. The break in this issue was attributed to fears of dividend reduction and reports of a hitch in the financing plans of the company. Other Issues were lower. Call money fell to 6 per cent after midday.

(By Thomson & McKinnon.) Feb. 18— The stock market yesterday prove.! to be very irregular. During the early hours dullness was still the rule, but there was considerable stability displayed, '“ntiment among traders was favorable, there was a constant demand for stocks both for the account of commission houses as well as professionals. There was a moderate improvement in many of the active issues. During the early afternoon an easier tone developed. Selling became quite general, but there was no particular reason for it. The news was Just about In line with general expectations. Corporate reports are being published, many of them making poor showing, but this is known and has been discounted many weeks ago Some companies find it necessary eithei to reduce or pass dividends but this also has been anticipated and has been reflected for some time in the quoted values of the stocks. Os greater consequence at the moment is the general opinion in banking, as well as commercial circles, that conditions are steadily—even though slowly—improving, and while we have no condition at this time that would warrant a big public participation In the stock market. nevertheless there Is ample Justification for conservative operation and we favor the purchase of stocks during weak periods of the market.

(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Feb. 18Wheat—Expectation that tariff bill would be. vetoed nullified tne effect of its pas-age, Market was characterized by a vety slaw demand throughout the entire day and sentiment favored a further setback. Domestic flour trade was reported slow; on the other hand it Is believed that export sales of low grade flour have been of rather good proportion the last several days, resulting In a cleaning up of what has been a drug upon the market. Elevator stocks In Minneapolis show a decrease each day and the offerings from the country are very limited. It Is claimed in parts of Kansas that mills are paying a large premium over Kansas City prices to secure supplies. Reports of dust storms, high winds anil presence of insects are. in the market, hut are ignored at the moment. The Immediate course of the market is likely to hinge upon crop news and weather conditions in the southwest. Rains probably would bring lower prices but the forecast lndl cates near weather. Taking into consideration the so-called statistical condi tlon, relative to s ippllei for the balance of the year, also the small amount of wheat actually available tt would seem that further unfavorable crop news should result in higher prices. Coarse Grains—A moderate Increase in the offerings of corn by the country brought to the attention of the trade the liberul accumulations in elevators here. It Is claimed that the amount of storage room In position to handle another run of corn is limited, which will moke elevators slow buyers, brluging about a further reduction in premiums. Today's cash market was firm, the basis of prices being %®%c better, with larger cash handlers seen as buyers, probably against recent export salts. Cash handlers were buyers of the futures. Otherwise, the do mend was slow Bending developments, these markets will take their dully color from wheat. Provisions —The action of grains and a slow hog market Induced some realizing In hog products, with offerings going Into the bunds of larger packers.
