NEW YORK MARKET QUIET

Moderate Recessions Indicated

CONFIDENCE LACKING -

New York; To-day. The New York market is quiet and easy, with losses confined to fractions. Confidence is lacking and traders are watching foreign exchanges very closely. Further moderate recessions seem indi eated.

Favourable facturs prior to the opening of the market were that setbacks fail to dislodge any im portant liquidation, and that the United States Treasury is making investigations into the credit needs, particularly; of small industries.

Unfavourable factors were that the market reflects discouraged selling, with the decline in the sterling exchange an unsettling factor, and that the textile strike- and the reduction of salaries by the steel industry are construed as re minders that the recovery will be. slow.
