IUGSDAf, Jan. 4.
The exceedingly small volume of actual bust.
ness in stocks encouraged professional operators
to make further attacks to-day upon values.
There was also some liquidation of speculative
holdings of the local traction stocks. A part of
this last was doubtless due to a disposition to
take profits on tho announcement of tho new
municipal government of its attitude toward
the rapid transit problem. Manhattan Railway
was especially depressed in the late trading by
reports that one of the larger stockholders In
the company, who has been identified with the
enterprise practically from Its inception. was
seriously Ill. So far as could DO learned. there
Is no basis for these reports. The most extern
sive trading was in Manhattan Railway. and it
also sustained the greatest net decline. namely,
liz q cent. Brooklyn Rapid Transit closed only
fractionally lower. while Metropolitan Street
Railway, on moderate transactions, was one of
the few stocks that closed higher than yester-
day. The bearish attacks were especially d.
rected against Sugar Refining and the Granger
stocks. There was also some effective selling Of
Missouri Pacific. Peoples Gas, and Louisville
and Nashville.
The railway traffic returns that were made
public to-day, particularly those for the last
week and month Of the calendar year just closed,
we're apparently ignored by speculative inter
ests, which were moro inclined to attach i'm
~portance to official confessions that rates on
competitive business are not being maintained
and to the possibility that Mr.. Hanna may be
defeated in his fight for reelection to the United
States Senate. The Street argues that the
defeat Of Senator Hanna would impair the
influence Of the Administration with Congress
and might have an important bearing upon the
next Presidential campaign. should the sound.
money issue be revived. The frmness of the
call money market, at figures ranging from
one.half to two.thirds of the legal rate. doubt.
less contributed to the dislodgement of some
stocks held on slender margins and carried by
brokers with moderate capital. The apathetic
attitude Of important interests toward tho
market may plausibly be explained upon
tho theory that they do not desire to
contribute profits to spectators who had pre-
pared themselves for the traditional January
advance in prices. 1t is possible. therefore. that
after small speculative accounts have been
pretty we'll liquidated and a good-sized short
interest created. the interests referred to will
come into the market on a scale that may
effect a decided change in tho prevailing senti.
ment. The closing was In the main heavy.
Final sales compare with those OF yesterday
