FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET MADE QOOD SHOWING. No Evidence of Nervousnes Over Mexican Trend of Affairs. New York, April 22.—In view of the opening of hostilities with Mexico the stock market today made a good sho ing, At no time was there any evi- dence of nervousness. Trading, in fact, was quieter than yesterday. At the Gpening prices were barely chang- ed, in spite of a lower scale of quota- tions for American stocks in London. After an hour of desultory trading the market weakened. WIth no increase in activity, prices fell away until a number of lmportant lssucs Were from one to three points lower. There the movement stopped. In the afternoon Dbustness was dull and toward the close a recovery set in. At the ead of the day losses were cancelled in most cases. Mexican news overshadowed every- thing else, but the street was not ready to pass fudgment on the influence of this new factor. It was felt that the effect would depend upon future de- velopments. Should a long and costly confilict with Mexico ensue, involving large. government loans and great de- struction of property, the stock mar- ket undoubtedly would register its dis- turbing influence. Speculators inclin- ed to optimistic views, however, felt that in the ‘event of & speedy collapse of resistance on Mexico’s part the mar- ket would “benefit. A few stocks were weak. Canadian Pacific at one time was more than five points lower. Selling of. this stock Wwhich made a low record! since 1910, came largely from Furope. Kansas and Texas common and preferred reached the bottom figures for several years, although news of the passing ot the preferred dividend was not re- cefved until after the market closed.
