NnV YOUIC, April 4.
Tho violent advances which marked jeitorrtny'i trudltiR, followed ly posl-
ftlvo slntctncntfl of additional war orders on so laro n pcnle na to require addi
ctions to the facilities, of tho contracting coiporntions, were without influence on
Hho market tone today.
Some of tho room traders, knowing of these orders nnd of the character of
'the good buying yesterday, were overconfident at tho opening and took suli-
Btantlal amounts of many- of the specialties, but quickly found theio were no other
, buyers except themselves. It did not take them long to change their position
to tho Belling side, nnd when tho supply from tho tiadlng element came on the
market, quick recessions wore In order.
Losses of around 3 points were numerous In the specialties, but It Is n
Question as to how far this apparent weakness was the result of a desire on
itlio part of the controlling interests to gather In tnoic Btock for their own
account, It was generally understood that ti laigo pait of yestei day's buying
Ltvas duo to covering of shorts and the market was naturally left without support
"from that source today, with the urgent covering completed
It would bo reasonable, because of the professional character of tho advance
fand reaction, to eliminate thet,o war tinier stocks altogether In passing Judgment
: on today's stock market operations. Outside of these tho stock tone was (lrm,
j, with many Issues in far better demand than the price movements Indicated.
i'ossioiutlcs or the situation were shown In tho manner In which llnrluo
common moved to above 20 by the execution of foul ROOO-shaio buying otders,
t While tho preferred stock yielded from 75 to 73 Members of tho Marine Com
mittee, insist that there has been no new development on which the strength
of tho common stock could be based, but some of those watching the trailing
on tho board floor Insist that the maiket talks for itself and that some develop
rient favorable to tho common stock must be clotc at hand. They conjectutd
that an agreement has been reached between the two stockholders" committees
, Without regard to what members of these committees ni.iv miv.
'tj. Willys-Overland moved up S points and then declined 9 points, and similar
JrftlOVCmentS. Ollt Wltllftl Iinrmuer limits, inin t1nti,1 111 niimnmna ntlinf lacuna

Jportance.
