WELSH, Local Forecaster, Weather Bureau. NEW YORK G1MBHAL MARKET NEW YORK, May 17-The stock mar ket sank Into a lethargy today. The fail ure of the reopening of the foreign stock markets to revive any activity In the dealings was a discouragement to the trsdlng element and they practically gave up the attempt to move the market even over the one-eighth range t eon I red for the minimum profit on fluctuations. News developments were not important, but stocks were unusually unresponsive to such aa there were. Home Influence was allowed to the Hocking Valley receiver ship as a factor -In the stagnation. The Hawley projects of extension furnish about the only matter of that kind now avail able for the consideration of would-e speculator and the check thus opposed nullities Its possible effect. The resumption of business In Iximlon found that market under the repressive Influence of the morning period for the dead king and with the prospect of an other adjournment on Friday for the fun eral ceremonies. The meager business that originated there today was ' on the seiung sine in New jrork and met a, lower opening level of prices. Desultory attempt to renew the advance In Rend ing whs followed by a languid bidding up of Brooklyn Transit, which about ex hausted the resource of the markeet. A further advance In the foreign ex Change rates today, when the reported bond sales In Paris, If completed, ought to cause a downward tendency, gave rise to vague uneasineft over a possible hitch In these negotiations. Immediate parties to the supposed transactions maintained the utmost reticence, not only as to the terms, but aa to the fact of the sales. I hi unusual demeanor In the circum stances of a successful financial opera tion of the magnitude attributed to this Is one Is responsible for the feeling of suspicion that has grown up regarding It. The continued sluggishness of the bond market and the conservative views re garding the money market field by bank ers emphasise the Importance of an ex tensive sale of bonds to foreigners. Rates on mercantile paper are rising again with no demand on the part of hankers for the small supply In the market. The protests against the proposed in creases In railroad freight rates, which are being voiced from different quarters, are not without effect on values of rail road stocks, the increased revenues prom ised by these advances having played a large part In the more hopeful specula tive sentiment lately held. The final form to be taken by the railroad bill now under debate In the senate, also la a subject of Interest stock market wise. On the side of the crops, decisive ten dencies are lacking still to frame definite speculative views. The report of deficient temperature contained In the weather bur eau weekly bulletin was supplemented by forecasts of further frosts tonight in regions, where both the cotton and grain crops would be affected.' The strength of the wheat market In face of considerable speculative llauidatlon was remarked. Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value, $1,538,000.

Most ot the offerings were snorn. as usual the big end ot the run consisting ot lambs. This class of tock met with the hetter inquiry and sold earlier than sheep and common shipments of all kinds. In point of prices the tendency was somewhat Stronger on high-dressing lamhs, most of early sales appearing to be pretty cloi-e to a dime higher than yesterday. Home of the rest shorn lamhs here changed hands at F.R6, with a less desirable kind at 4 Mi. California spring lambs went at $9, the limn as yesterday. The proportion of sheep and yearlings on sale was almost too small to make a test pt the market. Inquiry was very quiet, however, and most of the prices paid were quotably steady, although the uncertainty In this branch of the market lately leaves any comparison -open to doubt. Strictly prime light yearlings would probably sell pretty close to I7.S0, hut they would have to be top-notehers to bring this figure.
