New York, March 14—During _the greater of today's session prices drifted 1dly and without definite trend, save in a few of the better known specialties, where gains and losses were impartially distributed. Pub- lic interest was utterly lacking and traders evidently deemed it wise to hold aloof in view of overhanging un- certainties.

International conditions were further complicated by China’s severance of relations with Germany and the sinking of an American ship within the prescribed war area. Neith- er of these incidents excited more than passing attention, but probably served to curtal operations. $ The most encourazinz note ‘of the day was sounded by industrial inter- ests, trade authorities reportine a rush of steel orders.
