PRICES WAVER FOR FIRST TIME
IX SEVERAL "WEEKS.
Selling of Oils and1 Shipping Creates
Irregular Tone Metals Are
Strongest Features.
NEW YORK". May 12. For the first time
in several weeks, uncertain price tendencies
prevailed In the stock market today, pro
nounced heaviness being shown by many
of tho speculative shares that formed the
basis of the long-continued rise.
The tone waa firm to strong at the open
Ing. the successful flotation of the victory
loan probably proving a sentimental factor,
but selling of oils and shippings soon set in,
creating an irregular tone to the end.
Improvement in the metal industry, as
indicated by a foreign inquiry for refined
copper, and the sensational advance 1n bar
silver placed the metal -group in the fore
front,, throughout the : session, American
Smelting. Anaconda. Inspiration and Utah
coppers. Federal Mining and United States
Smelting were the leaders at extreme gain
of 2 to 8 points, very little of this advantage
being forfeited.
Steels and equipments were next, a 5-pelnt
rise In United States Steel being accompanied
byislmllar gains In the Independent division.
BiT.dwin Locomotive, General Electric and
Westinghouse.
Motors and their specialties were Irregular.
Changes In rails were nominal on light deal
ings. Total sales amounted to 1,535.000
sharea
The general bond Hat was firm, utilities
gaining 2 to 3 points. Liberty Issues made
slight gains and foreigns were steady. To
tak sales, par value, aggregated $11,250,000.
