Torino's stork market in It general ehnrnrtcrlstlrs dif fered but slightly from the Immcdlnte preceding sessions, except thnt there Nat n perceptible lessening ot pool ne tivltiei in various industrial special ties nnd increasing irregularity in price movements. The outstanding development wn fur nished in the big slump of over seven points in Crucible Steel, on the over night announcement of the stock divi dend of 10 U-8 per cent, and the reduc tion in the cash dividend from o 12 to an 8 per cent per annum basts. The reactionary party took advantage of the selling of Crucible to raid the entire list. The drives, however, while bringing n general lowering of quota tions, apparently again signally failed to dislodge any considerable amount of long stock. To the contrary, the whole lint became Intensely dull on the de clines, with the market virtually coming to a dead standstill by midday. While the stock market was inclined to mark time fresh weakness develop e din the commodity markets, with breaks of 30 to 40 points In cotton. On the other hand, quotations in foreign exchange were noteworthy for the maiked strength of remittances to Lon don, demand bills approximating $4 to a pound. Call money market remained relatively easy, loans renewing and loaning at 7 per cent. When the pools nud speculative-combinations ceased their bullish tactics the market fell back into the old familiar apathetic rut. indicating a closer adherence on the part of the more Influential interests to stand pat on the watchful waiting policy until some of the uncertainties of the general situa tion clear up At the same time the relative steadiness of prices around the current level would seemingly indi cate the market to be in a thoroughly liquidated condition, in the phraseology of the street "sold to a standstill." The recent backing and filling process carried little significance except the scalp ing operations of the room-trading con tingent. The Crucible Steel break indicated that the traders continue to construe stock dividends at, bearish. This was further attested in the two-point de cline in United Retail Stotes on the an nouncement of the ft per cent stock dividend by that company. The felling movement, however, extended to the re lated industrials, also oils, motors, to baccos and textile thnres. resulting iu reversals extending from one to over two points. The shipping sbaies and the railroads were less susceptible to pressure. Several of the chemical shares rallied before noon, but the general list remained dull and heavj . Stagnation was mo.it pronounced in the final hour, a few leaders including L'nited States Steel and Baldwin re acting moderately. LOCAL DEALINGS !

The dealings were of the same familiar llstlpss rharncter. which, however, was to be expected in view of the monev market conditions nnd the apathetic state of tli other se curity markets Further dribbling -ell-ing orders, however, caused fresh frac tional shading of prices keeping the greater part of the list within a shadow of the low pri'-es of the jear.
