Tho tolumo of trading was Indeed small, only a few issues coming out on tho tapo during the session, mid tho changes In prices, ns on previous recent ,das, were small. Tho movements, too, wore generally n scale lower, but tho losses were not gicat. h'luo tho break In dlplomatlo relations be tween tho United Stntso and Germany mut on tho floor of tho Stock Kxclinnge being that nothing much rotijd bu expected until tomethlng deflnlto hart been decliUd upon by tho Administration nt AVashlinjton. This policy was strictly ndherert to today Wlillo tho attendanco In tho commis sion houses measured up pretty well, yet most of tho traders spent their time around tho tickers to get nny news which came over nuout tho I,aconla, which was sunk by a toipedo. Jinny of thoso who wcro (lountoHii wondered If the sinking of this csJ.cl did not furti'sh tho "ovit net" spoken of by President Wilson In his ad dress to Congress, Whether this fur nishes tho "overt net" uas not stated In dlsp. itches from Washington, but the In formation from tho ct'pltnl was to tho vf fect that It was tho "clear-en'" net, the term "overt" not being used Although r,akn Superior I'orporatlnti stock wai tho most active of tj.o strictly local Issues. It was far from whnt could be ctlled active For a brief tlm' It a ftactlon nhove tho clce of yesterday, but fhl price was not held very long, and In tin oflTnoon It w;as n fraction under tho close. Tho widest movement In local stocks was In .Cramp Shipbuilding, which got up a full point, and this galti wns mnilo on tho turn over of two lots, Jlost of tho trading wns done In United Stntes Steel common, and tho trend of that stock was tho samo as In Wall street. For a tlmo It was abovo tho final of last night, but by mldaftcrnoon It wns a fraction lower. Pennsylvania Itallrond shares wero un affected by tho serious wreck. In fact, lhV?ro was a small gain In tho trading hero and In Wall street tho prlco vns unchanged A i-mall gain was recorded 111 Philadelphia Ilapld Transit trust certificates, but the business in this Issuo was very light.
