TWO VIEWS OF SITUATION Prices Drift Feebly and ¢ quently Ch; s Its Direction-- ¢ Unitea s Rines Mte in the Session. rent Free NEW YORK, May 18 —The stock market today was almost bare of feature or cldent, its actlon was inconclusive as an indication of financial opifilon or lative sentiment. The conviction was very general that large speculative ments had been closed out_of the market by sales to take profits. This conviction left the professional traders undecided as to_the significande of the fact. One patty argued that the desire to get away for summer trips to Kurope and enjoy the profits accrued furnished the motives for the recent selling and not any well grounded distrust of the stabillfy of the market.

At the close prices were W@ ‘: below yesterday's final guotations, Corn closed fairly steady, oats firm and provisions weak. The wheat market “displayed deoided strength during the first half of the day und Prices advanced more than lc above the vious close, May fincidentally rising which s ¥c above the previous best mark for the ‘season, established on April 16 uring the final half, however, sentiment came extremely bearish and prices receded 1%@1l to c from the high points of the . e July de- livery appeared greatly congested during the early trading. A.leading elevator con- o CeTniwas an active.bidder ’Ol that eption and the total purchases credited to that interest during the day were estimaied at fully 1,000,000 bushels. There was much coverhfg of short lines for the account of A fivm, which went into hands of a receiver yesterday. In addition to these influgnces, the market derived strength from an advance of %d@%d at Liverpool due, it was sald, to unfavorable crop report from Russia, Germany and Hungary. Ge: eral rains throughout Kansas and Okla- homa appeared -to have been ignored at the st but were undoubtedly in- trumental in a large degree in causing the slump late in the day. The range for July during the day was 31,13% and 31.16%. The close was weak at almost the bottom, with July at $1.13% and May at $1.28%.
