New York, Mar. 14.
Scant attention was paid to European-news by the stock market today. as prices rose irregularly in a quiet session, closing firm. The market opened uncertain and with fractional losses predominating but later improved on generally favourable trade news together with rumours, which were denied after the close, of the possibility of a reductíon in the margin requirements. Operators were mostly cautious, awaiting the outcome of the European crisis, but resumption of the upward trend was considered likely in the absence of major adverse developments.—Reuter.
