NEW TORK, April 8. Stocks were more or less neglected today by reason of Wall street's complete absorption In the new lib erty loan. Dealings exceeded any of last week's dull sessions by a slight margin, but the market's narrow ranee Indicated the perfunctory character of the trading. Meager advices from "the "Western theater of the war afforded the shorts a pretext for exerting occasional pressure, but in Im portant -ahares this caused only moderate impairment. Minimum quotations were registered in the final hour, the further reaction ac companying an advance In call loans from 4 to 6 per cent, presumably In consequence of last Saturday's adverse bank statement. Sales amounted to 245.000 shares. Virtually no funds were obtainable at the longer time periods, but quotations were slightly higher, a per cent being offered for accommodations extending from three to six months. The bond market wss featureless, aside from further selling of liberty issues, espe cially the aecond 4s, at gradual declines. Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,175,000. United States bonds, old issues, were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

At 4:46 o'clock yesterday afternoon a burglar's alarm was received at police headquarters from the United States National Bank. At 4:49 Captain Ins keep and squad of officers, in uniform and plain clothes, were at the bank, ready to lay their hands on the cul prit, loaded down with bullion, cur rency and such other staple goods handled by a financial Institution, but, alasl their visions for a big catch went a-gllmmerlng. The serenity and usual composure of bank officials and clerks at once made It plain to the police officers that no robbery had taken place, nor that even an attempt to crack the safe had been made. Upon investigation it was found that some person in the bank had acci dentally touched the burglar alarm However, It proved a successful test, for the guardians of the peace were on the job just three minutes after the alarm was received.
