NEW YOHK, May 23. - Pre-hollday
tdhdltlbns rulfd on tho Block KxchniiRo
today. Aside from a little activity nt tho
oponlnir, due to the selling by some Irntl
ttt who did not caro to hold their
commltmenta over the holidays, thoro
was very little done throughout tho
enrly Bcsulon. The early selling cnuscd
lomo fractional declines, but they wero
not Rreat. Tho markot then held around
tho lower level nnd nt limes became
felngnunt.
About Oie most active wero the cop
pers, and their action was exactly tho
reverse of yesterday, they being weak.
IE
. Ahil (bis occurred clfsnlto tlio rant that
S cables from JLondon quoted higher prices
Vt fht the metal there. Business hero at
fc.'i'the present time, howovcr, Is reported
1. !'t6 bo small, although tho outlook for the
fuluro Is held to bo bright.

the copper companies had Incrcnsed their
: i vldcnds had very mtlo If nny effect on
W i the copper shares. The larger dlsburso
K,,' merits had been discounted to a largo ex
m 'jent because of the recent advance In tho
m. "Ua nf thn mnlnl whlr-h li tinw mtnlnil nfr
1 a level of ID cents.
'.' During the afternoon session there was
K '.very little chnngc In conditions nnd trad-
' lug continued to lag. It was announced
.. ihnt J2.MO.000 In gold had been received
from Canada, nnd It was understood
(hat this wos brought in by J. P. Morgan
& Co. In banking circles It was the opln-
. Ion that this shipment was tho fororun-
her of one of the Inrgest movements of
' the yellow metal Into Now York for some
' time, estimates being made that tho
W final total would reach $10,000,000. Tho
V Import today makes J4,500,0OO In two days,
'' 2,O00,00O having been received yesterday
; from France. Tho stock market closed
quiet nnd Irregular.
; There was no particular ovornlght nowa.
Reports had It that tho German reply had
" been received at Washington, but, as has
been tho enso for tho last few days, It
r was not confirmed, nnd In view of this
IB1' the disposition continued to bo ono of
H' marking time. Tubllo Interest Is still
Absent. Tnougn enmea irom l.onuon
quoted tho captnln of tho Is'ebraskan ns
having said that ho believed the vessel
was torpedoed, tho Streot still held to tho
opinion that this was not tho case, nnd
there was a generally better feeling on
this new factor which has been Injected
Into tho international situation. Mnny
wero of tho belief that negotiations with
Germany would be long drawn out.
." Etrenrrth wna lmnarted to tho Chlcaco.
t ltock Island and Paclllc on figures com
piled by tho road's receivers, which In-
. dlcated that there -would be a surplus
' "over all fixed charges, on tho basis of
"present earnings, on December 31 of

ligations up to next January. At mni
'time Interest of $500,000 falls due on tho
road's debenture bonds. The company has
$7,60.000 two-year notes maturing on Feb
ruary 15 next. Tho stock closed show
ing a gain of moro than 2 points.
Uncertainty over success of tho

DIVIDEND ALTERATIONS
DID NOT AFFECT STOCKS
Neither Baldwin Nor Buffalo
Preferred Reflected tho
Change Tractions Strong.
Two local stocks which were wnlclied
Willi some Interest today nn nccounl of
the notion tnken on their dividends nfter
tho close of the market yesterday were
Baldwin locomotive Common and Buf
falo & Susquehanna preferred. In one
enso tho dividend wast passed nnd In tho
other nn Initial payment wns declared,
yet oddly enough neither stock moved one
way or Hie other, each opening tlh
chaiiBed nt their previous closing quota
tion. IlulTalo & Susquehanna Common,
however, scored n dollar fruln.
In New York Baldwin rose to 40 nt tho
close, but no sales wero effected hero
after the early dealings.
The traction Issues wero ngnln In strong
demand this morning. Bnplil Transit nd
vanced to &, while t'nlon Traction also
hardened. On the other hand, Philadel
phia Traction made n new low. Cramp
Shipbuilding recrosscd 33, but did not
maintain Its ndvnnce.
In the bond division tho only feature
was the trading In Pennsylvania gencrnl
mortgnge 4Hs when Issued. It wns nilrd
by the Exchange that these temporary
certificates deliverable when Issued shall
become due nnd bo settled on Wdncsduy,
Juno 2, 1915. Welsbach 5s moved up n
point. Tho usual sinking fund purchases
nro now In progress.
t.ocnl bankers report almost rompleto
stagnation In tho money market. They
explain this by tho conservative nttltudo
ndoptcd by nearly nil business men while
nwaltltig Germany's reply to President
Wilson's note. No one feels llko making
new commitments until the shadow of
posslblo war Is removed, henco money,
Instead of tightening, as somo pcoplo ex
pected, hns merely remained Inert.
Plenty of call funds aro obtalnablo at
314 per cent., with commercial paper
ranging around 4 per cent.
LITTLE CHANGE IN TRADE;
COLLECTIONS SLOW TO FAIR
Railroad Buying Helps Iron nrjd Steel
Mnrket.
In tho cotton trade llttlo cliango Is re
ported over the previous week, say It. O.
Bun & Co. In their weekly review of
trailo conditions In Philadelphia. Tho
market Is still quiet and llttlo changed tn
price. Dealers In cotton yarns report
business still satisfactory In tho hosiery
nnd knitted goods wenr. A number of
the mills report that they nto operating
from 75 to 100 per cent, of their capacity.
Some mills, however, repprt n lack of
business. This appears to depend prin
cipally on tho styles nnd quality of goods'
manufactured.
The local wool market Is still quiet and
shows no material change. New wools
are being tnken more freely, especially In
tho Far West. Prices, however, aro said
to bo high, nnd It Is tho Impression that
buyers will receive but little prollt unless
there Is nn advance In the Eastern
markets. Holders of desirable wools are
not inclined to sell, holding for higher
prices. Fleeced wools nro still high, nnd
In somo sections growers tire seeking 3(J
cents , for medium wools. Most buyers,
however, are unwilling to contract on this
basis. The goods trade continues very
quiet
Both weavers and knitters report busi
ness exceedingly dull In their line. Carpet
manufacturers still report business quiet
In their line, and no betterment In condi
tions are looked for In tho Immediate
future. Weather conditions hnvo affected
sales In tho retail men's nnd women's
furnishings and drygoods during tho Inst
week. The season's business, however,
has been reported a fairly satisfactory
one. Woolen Jobbers selling to tho nearoy
trade state that the season's business
has been a satisfactory one and nns
shown some Increase. Thero Is also nn
Improvement In collections.
Clonk and suit manufacturers nro now
getting out their fall lines and are look
ing forward to a good season. Business
with tbe shirt waist manufacturers con
tinues active nnd tho season hns been
a very satisfactory one. There Is but
llttlo chango in the condition of the Job
bing nnd wholesale drygoods line.
The Iron and steel market has been
somewhat more active In lines where rail
road buying is a factor, but pig Iron bna
been generally quiet during tho last week.
Tho tonnage of business outside of rail
road buying hns been rather light and
structural material Is Irregular. Ship
yards aro reported to hava received good
contrncts of late, nnd Increased orders
are noted nmong locomotive builders.
Prices aro generally firm nnd collections
fair.
Millinery dealers state sales nre small
and collections slow. A slight Improve
ment Is noted In lumber conditions hero
nnd dealers consulted state that the vol
ume of business Is gradually Improving,
although not yet normal. Prices remain
fluctuating nnd collections slow. The
paper market Bhows some little activity.
manufacturers and Jobbers report Borne
slight Increase In'volumo of sales, but
very few large orders are being placed.
Prices aro well maintained. Collections
are a little slow.
