Constructive elements uraln wero wholly lacking, aside from tho relative steadiness of money rates nd surpris ing strength of the foreign exchange market, especially sterling, but these were ignored and. ployed no part as helpful factors. Passing of the U. 8. Food Products dividend and reduction of the Vana dium Corporation's disbursement re minded the financial community with Increasing emphasis of existing and Impending conditions. A very large proportion of the day's trading was compressed In less than half a score of stocks, notably TJ. 8. Steel, Cruicible, Baldwin Locomotive, Mexican Petroleum and affiliated shares. Excepting Southern Pacific and Heading, dealtnes in rail were light with an uncertain trend. Unlike Yesterday's session, stocks were more responsive to the money market, leaders registering best quo tations In the last hour, when an abundance of money was offered at 6 per cent. Final prices, however, showed im pairment among the oils, steels and equipments. Sales 700,000 shares. The bond market was more active than at any time in several weeks but the tone was irregular, both as to do mestic and foreign issues, including the liberty group. Total sales, par value, 26,300,000.

In provi. sions the outcome varied flora 12c de cline to 30c advance. . It was clearly shown that the ma jority of traders lucked confidence in the bull side of the wheat market. Even after the fact was widely known that export purchasing of domestic wheat amounted to 3,01)0,000 bushels, upturns In prices failed to hold. A re duction of 12,000,000 bushels in the estimated surplus of Australian wheat coutlted to only as a tempxirary stimu-' lus. . , On the other hand continued notice as given to employment figures and to other adverse aspects of the bus iness situation.
