Show oo THE WORLD'S MARKET NEWS WALL 8TREET. New York, N. Y., April 22. Out-break Out-break of hostilities with Mexico ex erted little Influence on the stock market in the early trading today. In fact the opening was quieter than yesterday. First changes wore small and irregular, and speculative Interest in the market seemed to be at low obb. Government bonds, which on Monday eased off on the prospect ot war with Mexico, hold steady on the early call today Declines of American Ameri-can atocks In London were Ignored here. During the first half hour the movement was insignificant and no definite tendency appeared. The market soon lost its good undertone un-dertone and during the second hour there was a general showlne: of weak ness, with many declines of 1 to 3 points. Although the Mexican situ atlon was predominant In Influencing sentiment, the market gave no Indications Indica-tions of uneasiness and the decline did not bring out a heavy volume ot 3elllng. Operations for foreign account were instrumental In shaping the course of the market. Large selling orders for Europe were executed in Canadian Pacific, which broke four polqts, and in various other stocks. Coalers were weak features. Declines In Investment In-vestment shares, such as Delaware and Hudson, were regarded as Indicative Indica-tive of a temporarily strained investment invest-ment position. Bonds were Irregular, Announcements ot further cuts In steel, cotton and oil prices and the hardening tendency of time loans operated op-erated against tho market. There was liberal selling of New York state and city bonds, some of which were down half a point. The market closed strong. Mexican news depressed prices severely se-verely in the forepart of the day, but later there was a buying movement which cancelled losses, except In a few exceptionally weak issues. Llqulr datlou of Canadian Pacific carried it down more than five points and there was free soiling of Kansas and Texas shares for continental account Chicago Livestock. Chicago. 111., April 22.
