FINANCIAL-COMMERCIAL
LETHARGY HOLDS
MARKET IN GRIP
Inactivity in Foreign Marts Offers
Discouragement to the
Speculators
HOCKING VALLEY DEPRESSES
Necessity of the Extensive Sale
of Bonds Abroad Is Empha
sized in Money Channels
NEW YORK, May 17.—The stock
market sank into a lethargic state to
day. The failure of the reopening of
the foreign stock markets to revive any
activity in the dealings here was a
discouragement to the trading element.
Some influence was allowed to the
Hocking Valley receivership as a factor
Jn the stagnation.
The Hawley projects of consolida
tion and extension furnished about the
onlySnatter of that kind now available
for the consideration of would-be spec
ulators and the check thus opposed
nullified its possible effect.
The resumption of business In Lon
don found that market under the re
pressive influence of tho mourning
period for the dead king and with tlio
prospect of another adjournment on
Friday for the funeral ceremonies.
A desultory attempt to renew the
advance In Reading was followed by
a languid bidding up of Brooklyn
Transit, which about exhausted the
resources of the market.
The continued sluggishness of the.
bond market and tho conservative
views held regarding the money mar
ket strongly emphasized the Importance
of an extensive sale of bonds to for
eigners Rates on mercantile paper
;n, rising again with no demand on
the part of tho bankers for small sup
plies In the market. The protest!
acalnat the proposed increase in rail
road freight rates voiced from rlir
ferent quarters are not without effect
OH views of values of stocks, the in
creased revenues promised by these
advance! having played a large part
in the more hopeful speculative senti
ment lately held.
<mi the side of crops, decisive ten
dencies are lacking still to frame defin
ite speculative views. The report of
dellcio.nt temperatures contained n
the waether bureau's weekly bulletin
was supplemented by forecasts of
further frosts tonight in regions where
both the cotton and grain crops would
be itffivtod.
The strength of the wheat market In
fact of iniistdrnihle speculative liqui
dattofl was remarked.
Bond* were heavy. Total sales, par
value, JI.BSS.OOO. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

LOS ANGELES BTOCK EXCHANGE
The market yesterday was a very good on*
and prlws in most cases showed inclination
to take, an upward turn. Brokers had plenty
of orders.
In the bond list the market was' quiet, and
there was practically no change under that
head.
Th.i bank stock, showed changes In only two
cases. First National Hank being offered at
205, 195 bolng bid; this Is a slight decline.
Merchants Hank and Trust Company was
181 at 150. which Is also a shade below the
regular quotation. There was only one In
quiry In the balance of the list, which was
for Central National, being 175 at ISO.
In the public utility list Home preferred and
Homo common both showed quite a material
Increase, and there wero good buying orders
on the floor all during the call.
The oil list was particularly active. Asso
ciated opened up at 51 and then weakened off
Bllghtly, but closed strong at 50%. at which
price 200 shares changed hands. The next ac
tive trader on the list wan California Midway,
which showed a decided Inclination to sag
oft all day long. The first sale was mada at
56%, selling as low as 54% at the close. Mex
ican preferred sold at 68 and was strong at
that price. Ollnda Land opened up rather
weak, but the bid price wan moved up peg
by peg to 5674, at which price 1000 shares came
out; 600 sold at 67 an 2000 at 56V&. Cleveland
does not show any change. Coallnga Central
was strong at 64. Union Oil was traded In
quite extensively in the afternoon, opening up
rather weak on the morning call, with no
Bales taking place. In the afternoon it moved
up rapidly to 10714, at which price several
hundred shares changed hands, then selling
down to 107 V«, two or three brokers trading In
the stock at those figures. Five hundred New
Pennsylvania changed hands at 92V4. This is
quite a llttlo break in this stock, but, of
course, as this was not a board lot It Is hard
ly a criterion as to the price. American Petro
leum common sold at 66. Oleum, in the non
producers, was the only one traded in, It re
maining firm at 8. " .
California Hills, which has had such a phe
nomenal rise, sagged off perceptibly yester
day morning, being 2 points lower than the
high point on Monday's market, but the un
dertone was good and the price remained
firm, with plenty of good buying orders In
sight. ,
Taken as a. whole, the market wag one in
which brokers could get good action, and
there was a decided Increase In the trading.

CHICAGO GRAIN
Special service to The Herald by J. C. Wil-
Hon, member of the Chicago board of trade,
New York stock exchange and San Francisco
bond and stock exchange. 212 West Fifth
street, Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, May 17.—Extreme dullness pre
vailed In the wheat market until the last halt
hour; the market then scored a sharp advance,
gaining fractionally pn yesterday's last. News
was again quite bearish, except for a continu
ation of the reports of Hessian fly and con
tinued plowing up of wheat in Illinois and
Missouri. A late report told of a strike at
Buenos Ayres and work stopped on shipping
there. No improvement In the cash trade.
The southwest continues to report wheat car
ried over unsold, the only demand being for
best cars. In the local market the only sala
ble cars are contract or near it to mixers for
May delivery. The sales on the weak places
today were taken by the commission houses,
leaving the sellers, who were mostly local
traders, short. The congestion in September
keeps the market sensitive, and when some
buying took place by a leading local profes
sion it found the market bare of oerings.
Corn was firmer. Shorts covered on some
reports of replanting necessary as a result of
recent cold weather in important sections of
this state and lowa. Wet weather over most
of the corn country today, but the forecast is
for fair and warmer.
Oats dull. Considerable long oats for sale
on all rallies. Weather better for the growing
crop, milder and wet, but fair forecasted
Provisions sharply higher all around. Pack
ers were the best buyers, while the offerings
were scattered and limited. Fairly good south
ern demand for meats.
