EXTREMEDULLNESS MARKS TRADE ON STOCK EXCHANGE > Most Price Movements Entirely Devoid of Any Significance, The WALL STREET JOURNAL . NEW YORK. May 9.—Neither the market nor the news afforded much satisfaction for that element of the trading fraternity to whom speculative activity is the breath of life. After the morning had begun with the customary drive under the professionals, the financial community settled into an apathetic state, which found reflection in extreme dullness on the Stock Exchange. Literally a handful of stocks furnished the only noteworthy movement. In the main body of .stocks fluctuations were entirely devoid of significance. About the only development of immediate economic importance was the rise of the reserve ratio of national banking establishments to abo% r e the previous record for the after-war period. First Hour Price changes among the activt stocks were withoty. significance in the early dealings. Trading proceeded on a reduetd scale, which marked the' afternoon hours of the previous days. Stocks developed renewed heaviness, depressed by professional offtrwhose origin lay in the belief Pi ha t the -Street's hesitant mood afforded an opportunity to mark prices down. New lows for the week were forced in Baldwin at 110 Can at 102 1 ,. Cast Iron Pipe at 55% and Steel at 97i. * Second Hour Despite continued pressure against the rails in the second hour, however, Operations for the rise''went hhead in a number of medium priced rails, including Missouri Pacific preferred and St. Paul preferred. Special concentration was directed against oils. Sinclair continued active, reflecting activities Os two powerful groups. This issue's break to new' low levels earlier in the week was caused by a 20,000 share order from bear quarters. This was followed by an inside buying order of 10,000 shares. It is common knowledge in the Street that the largest professionals have been bearish on oils. Noon Hour Again bears found themselves checked by the market's tendency to dry up on reactions. The reappearance of this tendency in the late morning caused professionals to abandon efforts to force further recessions and prices drafted aimlessly around noon. It was evident from the action of a few stocks, however, that important accumulation was in progress. Ameri-

can Can was one of these and there was good buying of mail order and chain store stocks. A great deal of orders are coming from Chicago and the Middle West. Fourth Hour Trading continud in desultory fashion in the early afternoon. Speculate vet interest was at a low ebb. Volume of dealings remained light. About the only features were a further drive against Chicago Taxi issues and special strength in Woolworth which rebounded to 334%. Upward progress in chain store and mail order stocks was helped by the Wall Street Journal analysis, w'hich showed that in the first four months of 1924 six companies scored a gain of 10.2 per cent over the corresponding period last year. Leaving out Sears-Roebuck. which accomplished only a fractional gain, five chain stores and mail order houses showed a gain of 16 per cent. Montgomery Ward headed the list with a gain of 22.77 per cent. Final Hour Prices drifted downward in the late afternoon showing net losses for the day in most of the leaders. How'ever, the volume of dealings continued extremely small and recessions were mostly fractional. United States Cast Iron Pipe afforded an exception breaking rather sharply on heavy offerings. This issue got down Lo 84% against its high of 90% in the previous session. . Twenty leading rails Thursday averaged 81.94. up .06 per cent.

FOREIGN BOND ISSUES HOLD STEADY TO FIRM B u United Financial NEW YORK. May 9 —The bond market gave evidence of little decided opinion, prices did lDtle more than back and fill, although it was notable that the foreign issues held steady to firm despite the further easing in francs and sterling. Swedish bonds turned active on the news that a credit of $10,000,000 will be extended the Swedish government by a Wall Street syndicate. Serbian 8s touched a high of Sl-is- but the bankers sponsoring this issue* are unwilling to push matters too fast Liberty bonds held within narrow limits. Cheap money and the fact that the President is expected to veto the soldier’s bonus bill were items on the bull side. The rail issues were steady. Erie general 4s moved to a new high. Public utilities were about the most active as a group in the industrial list.

WHEAT ID CORO .

Unfavorable crop news played the leading role in wheal's sLrength. The trade also was encouraged by Bradstreet's figures showing a sharp increase in North American exports. Corn was strong at the finish induced by moderate export sales on yesterday’s dip. delayed planting due to inclement weather and forecasts for more snow in the Southwest Oats appeared to be neglected* and could only gain a small fraction and this through the influences of other grains.

Grain Briefs CHICAGO. May 9—Scattered liquidation in all grains affhear* todiavo run its course Fair buying was encountered on Thursday s dip Wheat is wanted around the pre-ent prices for July and less disposition to sell te in evidence. Closing out of open contracts for Baird A Botterell, retiring from the gram business, is said to have been responsible for the recent reaction in prices at. Winnipeg. Little encouraging news exists at present in com because of the apparent slow demand to rare for immediate supplies and the promising outlook for an unprecedented production on the new- crop. Milling demand for wheat is slow Recent declines caused millers to hold off until'the market becomes more stable Soft winter wheat, raised in central territory will be short, expert* say, and there will be an active demand for it from the start of the movement Fair sates of all grade wheals in the United Kingdom and Continentals was attributed to the general backward conditions with reduced acreage in those countries. ACTIVE STANDARD OIL STOCKS RULE LOWER Industrial List Features Glen Alden Coal at 100. fin T'nitrd Financial NEW YORK, May 9.—The cuyb market was unable to make much headway in the later dealings. With few exceptions the active Standary Oil stocks ruled lower. N The indications are tfiat oil stocks are a good buy for a long pull. Illinois Pipe Line fell 6*4 points today. Solar was off 5, Prairie off I*4 and Chesebrough off %. One of the principal features of the industrial list was the mounting of Glen Alden Coal to 100. The pool behind this issue has been forced to yield ground several times of late, due chiefly to adverse conditions at the mine itself, but the undertone of the market is as strong now as it ever was. A $3 dividend is expected. The issues closed down from the high with a net loss for the day. National Tea, United Bakers and Dubilier received setb&cke. Metal issues were quiet, with most of the changes restricted to the penny stocks. Curb bonds were dull.

Although bidding was lower it was the opinion that the prices would remain at the .$7.70 level. A few choice pens brought a top figure of $7.75.
