THE STOCK MARKET
Dealings Lack Breadth mi ine
Commission Houses Complain
ot Small Orders.
LIST MUCH DISTURBED By RUMORS
It Was Made Weak by Reports From
Washington That Harriman Would
be Compelled to Answer Interstate
Commerce Commission's Questions, j
The Total Sales and Closing Quota
tions.
(By* Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, April 1!).?The char?
acter of the operations in stocks to?
day continued to suggest the domi?
nance of professionals in the deal?
ings. Transactions were, conducted
with signs of organization and con?
tracts which were largely congested
In a few stocks usually favorites In
stich operations. The market lacked
breadth and complaints showed
Uiere was a small general participa?
tion In the market. The market was
much the sumo as that of yesterday
except that the advance came first
followed by reaction. The stocks |
which were, of most Influence In the
leadership or the early advances were
subject to such Influences, largely in i
tho shape of unconfirmed conject-1
ores. American Smelting was conspic?
uous feature and responded to very
positive assertions that an advance
lh the dividend rate to ten per cent
had been determined upon. There
also was talk of a probable coming
increase in the dividend on United
States Steel. No authority could be
found for these reports. The strength
of the market was quite general In
the early part of the day and the de?
velopment of nintked weakness in the
Southern Railway stocks came while]
strength was still marked in the rest
of the market. The fall in those stocks
suggested a renewal of the kind of,
liquidation which was in force last
month and aroused some disquietude I
and the whole market was not long hi [
responding.
The latter weakness of the market
was aggravated by reports from
Washington that the deposit of cus?
toms receipts with the banks was to|
be discontinued for the present, and
also that proceedings would be had ]
to compel B, H. Harriman to answer
questions to which he refused to re?
ply at nn* Interstate Commerce hear?
ing. The closing tone was easy.
Bonds were unchanged on call. To-|
tal sales, par value, $1,888,000. Unit?

Roasting Coffeo.

purpose. In France as well a piece of
butter the size or a walnut Is put with
three pounds of the coffee beans, and
