Market Mirrors Quiet Day as Trade Data Steals Spotlight
New York April 15. Stocks showed little movement while the foreign trade report for March dominated attention. Exports fell by about 16 million dollars year over year led by cotton and agricultural declines, with overall exports down over 20 million and imports down near 44 million, signaling deeper commercial weakness. Currency shipments to New York boosted bank balances, and idle freight cars rose further, fueling uncertainty about trade activity despite some dividend payments and steady bond trading.

In Chicago territory about 12 000 tons of structural material contracts were placed for Corn Products Manufacturing, including 3 600 tons of structural steel and 600 tons of castings at 44 dollars per ton.

Some furnaces have been blown out after selling pig iron at very low prices. Requests include 12 000 tons from a railroad supplier and 5 000 tons from a Michigan concern. sheet business is improving, tin plate demand steady, steel bar production improving in Pittsburgh and Chicago.
