12 i i ....... i ' " FINANCIAL-COMMERCIAL MARKET TRADING NOTABLY NARROW Buyers Keep Out of the Game and Conditions Continue to Be Uneasy AWAIT TOBACCO DECISION Alarm Over the Crop Prospects Revived l»y Dryness in the Southwest fAssoriated Press} NEW YORK, March 31.—The stock market today further disclosed its nar row limitations.

Uneasiness over the crop conditions was revived by the failure of predic tions of general rains in the southwest and by the cooler weather reported thi re. Another wave of depression rai anated from the Qranby mining episode in the Boston market. The gravity of the Incident was inferred from the news of its influence in so remote a ticld as the Paris bourse. London sent reports, however, of mn fldent expectations of nn early move ment of pold from Vow York to thai (enter. An easy discount rate in Lon don today was attributed to thai pecf.
