NEW YORK, N Y, Jan. 22-The stock market
to-day wa one Of speciatIes. While there were
important fluctuations in this the general list
stood almost stockstill. Thus Sugar and General
Electric were about the only ones that changed to
the extent of as muc as point, and the dealings
were largely confined to the trading element At
ths opening quo. ations generally lower, the
dealing being equal to 1s95s per "ent; but su bse-
quently General Electric advanced from "a to
3514, sugar from 1865 TO l17Sz, B. and o. from
74S4 % 1914, st, Paul from 1884 TO 763s. Rock
Island from 675s to 6S3s, Chicago Gas from 77Zs
to7S12 and Manhattan from 9l1a TO 921A. A
part of this mproveme ent was lost at the close.
The feverishness of specu alton was due various
causes.
The Hooking Valley securities sustained another
TO 8. while the bonds yielded 6(G812 per cent on
revival of rumors about an impending receiver
ship. The common stock rallied to II on state
ments by officials of the company that no receiver
ship is likely and that settlement of the btu
minous coal troubles Will probably be effected
next week. The recent red uction in dividend on
Delawate and Hudson from TO per cent is still
exercising an adverse influence anthracite
coaers. Delaware and Hudson fell TO lO71b
Lackawana PA to 1882, Jersey Central ! III To
9e14. and Heading SIS to 1914. American TobaC CO
broke nearly points to 70 atter 1t became known
that Judge Fitzgerald mad decided that the direct
ors indicted for conspiracy must stand trial, but
there was recovery 10 rs at the close.
Big Four fell IA to z734, while Union Pacific
advanced lss TO 777s on he expectation of favor
abe development concerning the proposed re-
organization Of the properte. Long Island re-
covered 21a 10 4312 on the denial Of the story
that the deal for the Transfer of Austin orbn

Paul II 900 Union Pacific $500 Delaware and
Hudson and 5000 Hooking Valley. Speculation
closed weak in tone. Net changes in the usually
active stocks were insignificant, but Delaware and
Hudson lost points.
Bonds were lower. Transactions footed up
Sl.476,O0O. Hooking Valley issues were again
the feature OF the trading. The consolidated fves
