Wall Street Was Irregular in Tone, With
firm Undertone.
New York, Jan. 2S.-Irregularity was
the main feature of operations in stocks
today. A firm undertone was in evidence,
however, throughout. The eccentricity OF
the movement of prices was chiefly at
tributed to the professional dealers and
others vino preferred 10 take the pronts
accruing in the advance.
The stock market opened moderately ac-
tive and irregular. The tendency of prices
was downward, with Changers and Man
haitian leading.
The bears met with little success, dc
pressing prices after 1918, and the APP
pearance of supporting orders in different
stocks led them to cover freely, sending
Sugar up Us to 1852, and the general list
an important fraction. An easier feeling
developed in share speculation at 1850,
chiefly due to realizing sales. Declines did
not exceed fractions and were most I'M
portant in sugar and Changers. New
England jumped 81 per cent to 5lA on a
single transaction.

BOSTON WOOL.
Boston, Jan. 2S.-Outside of strength
shown for foreign woods in London, which
has increased the demand on this side
the wool market here is decidedly tame

ritory woods are slow, the principal bust
ness done being confined to small lots
There is a feeling here that demand
for these woods will soon start up anC
buyers are holding off until the time
comes when the signs will show them tina
they will be forced to purchase. Australian
wool sales show no material change
though prices are considered solid.
