Tokyo Stock Market Seen Having Quiet Week

   Tokyo, May 23 (Jiji Press)--The Tokyo stock market is expected to be relatively quiet next week due to a lack of fresh trading incentives.
   This week, the benchmark Nikkei 225 stock average retreated 593.25 points, or 1.57 pct, to finish at 37,160.47 on Friday. Following a rally through the preceding week, stocks were dampened by overheating concerns, as well as sluggish U.S. shares. Still, investors moved to buy when the Nikkei dipped below 37,000.
