New York Stocks

Friday's Closing Quotations

New York, May 5.

The action of the market again reflected the feeling of uncertainty prevailing over the European situation. No particular trend was in evidence, and prices again weaved the now familiar pattern of dull and narrow markets. The speech of Colonel Joseph Beck, the Polish Foreign Minister was well received, influence ing a slight upward adjustment in values, but soon afterwards traders turned cautious, showing no disposition to carry their commitments over the weekend. However, at the final call over, there was not much change in prices compared with yesterday's list. The volume of trading was small, amounting to 330,000 shares.—Reuter.
