. New Ydrk, March 17. Dealings in
stocks today showed the smallest total
of any recent period, but the -undertone
was firm. Reading rose a full point
and when the regular dividend was de
clared, it rose u further fraction, but
recorded a slight net loss.
Lehigh Valley, controlled . by Read
ing interests, rose substantially oh
maintenance of its dividend, and other
high priced shares also evinced a. ten
dency to harden. However, . trading
was deVoid of actual signiflcaftice.''.
Metal and allied stocks failed to re
flect - to any appreciable extent the
more favorable advices.' United States
Steel was barely more than steady at
any time. Trade authorities reported
better prospects in that, industry main
ly on large foreign contracts now in
course of consummation.
- Foreign exchange moved in contrary
manner, cables and drafts, on? London
being . firmer, with some heaviness in
francs. Toaal sales of stocks 118,500
shares. - ,
Bonds were steady at the start, but
became irregular later. Total sales,'
par value, $1,821,000. United . States
bonds :, unchanged on call.
