The effect OF the foreign news upon government
securities was witnessed In their rather sharp de-
cline in the home market. The e2's went or to I22H
and the 6s to 1908 1t is suspected that the Jewish
holiday OF New Years was taken advantage OF In
Frankfort to depress the market there In the interest
Of houses having American connection and inter-
esed in both gold and bonds Certain 1t Is that the
decline In Frankfort much greater than In Lon
don. the Exchange Of which city ls more phlegmatlc
and less susceptible to violent speculative move
ments The CTS In the latter place went OF only 10
81, the decline being only one-haf as
much as in the German city. The YIELD
ing here was large one, however.
when Il Is considered that the market should have
been sustained by purchases which were maue on
foreign account early in the day before the "preak
abroad and when gold was at 1917 o 1914, the dou-
BILE transaction Of selling the bonds In London and
the gold here affordmg good margin OF proht The

The speculative interest being diverted in other
directions Southern securities were dull and gene
rally steady. The new North Carolinas were weak
and lower, ana the new South Carollnas active anu
higher. Otherwise there was no feature in the
market. The following were the closing prices at

The stock market was barely steady at the open
ing, despite the favorable bank statement OF last
week, and was therefore easily susceptible OF the
''bear' attack which was made upon 1t later in the
day, subsequent to the reports OF uneasness in
Europe and the more active closing OF our home
money market. The railway list yielded quite easily
TO this hammering, excepting New York Cen
tral, which was very strong at the decline to 203I,
its lowest point, and reacted whenever the sellers
left the market Erie in sympathy with a yielding
in the London price, went OF to 33H. Pitts
burg, which sold as high as looh on renewed
reports Of stock dividend also went of in the
afternoon. The stocks more particularly 'ham-
mered" were Rock Island, which sold down to
1924 the report being circulated that the directors
would not declare q dividend; Michigan Southern,
which touched 1927, and the Northwestern and st.
Paul stocks. These were the features Of the
"break." rally took place towards the closing Of
the Long Room; but in subsequent street trans.
