NEW YORK MARKETS.
The Stock Exchange.
NEW YORK, Jan. s.-The stock market
sot away from the bears in the later deal
ihss today and closed buoyant and very
active, In part because OF the rush OF the
shorts 10 cover. Some of the specialties
Were strong throughout the day, but there
was a period in the early session when the
reactionistS regained control some of the
southern and Southwestern stocks being
SOLD down over a point. The bears also at
tempted TO utilize the Introduction at AL
bany or bills directed against combinations
OF capital, but the effect OF these bills was
confined to Consolidated Gas. which fell
over point some weakness was shown
IN some prominent stocks. which may have
been due TO sympathy with the depression
In the same stocks on London and on Euro
pean exchanges. This was the case with
Northern Pacific preferred.
The forced covering or shorts. and the
later buoyancy OF the market, brought the
some stocks. or net gains OF a point or
over. The failure Of the bears to effect de-
cnnes encouraged aggreSsiveness in the
bulls There was a growing feeling also
that recent utterances by railroad officials
pointing to poor returns on account OF low
rates and rate cutting were not fully war
ranted and were designed to influence pub
lie opinion and the action OF congress. The
days reports of railroad earnings came to
reinforce this view.
Officially. the Union Pacific reorganiza-
ton committee presented It's check to the
assistant United States treasurer for $780,
600. which Is the final payment of the
Union Pacific sale. The consummation OF
this deal, which has been disturbing fac
tor In the money market for a month. and
the absence OF furry on account of IL In
the money market. were relieved today.
The money market seems 10 have tend
ency towards easiness from now on.
The bond market took on an increased
activity and strength in some stocks, and
prices were generally higher. United

and the IS coupons II higher.
