II. A diminished'. de mand for stock today led to resumption of speculative selling and prices were again depressed, although losses in most instances were small.' Trading was light and the dlsappsaranca of the etrengtb, which char acterised yesterday' market, was due lee to bearlah tactic than to absence of sup port. Total sales were 190,000 share. At th opening price change Vere amall and Irrecular with no appearance on Ini tiative on either side of the market The bears moved with eautlon. In view of yea terday'a display of strength, and made little effort to Influence the count ef prlcea until It became apparent that few buying ordera wer on hand. Stock then came on the market In- greater aupply and the list eused off. Quotations stiffened temporarily in the second hour, but the rally waa not held and the close was heavy. The re newed heaviness of the market apparently wae due principally to professional selling, although the day'e news contributed to this end,- Petrograd dtspatchee indicating that new complications had arisen in the Rus sian political situation, reports of the pres enca of. a hostile submarine In the western Atlantic and report that Industrial taxation Would be largely increased, tenaoa to ae press the market. . The chief weakness appeared In the cop pare, ataels and a few other Industrials. The motors ware relatively strong. In the rail road section operations were light and move' menta email. Reading, Louisville and Chesa. neake A Ohio showed strength. Ratee on some foreign centers fluctuated to a degree, which la 'unusual for a half' day session of the exchange market. Roubles continued to reflect a food inquiry, ruing ta 17. The bank statement showed a fur ther contraction in loana of nearly $21,000, 000. i reflecting the week's liquidation In stocks.
