Market Heavy With Most Issues
Closing at Declines.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The market was
subjected to an energetic shaking down
to-day, which caused a notable decline in
prices. Prices, however. had been pretty
well advanced before the decline set in,
and there were notable recoveries at the
end. The net changes, therefore. do not
by any means give a just idea of the
character of the market.
The fall in prices was in most cases a
perpendicular one from the high level 20
the low level, which gave 1t the appear
ance of great violence. The selling. which
caused it, had all the appearance of
great urgency, and was in very heavy
volume, large blocks coming out on the
decline. 1t should not escape notice, how
ever. that there were important stocks in
the list which offered good resistance to
the prevailing weakness, and which rallied
well from the declines. The tone OF tho
steel stocks was much better than yester-
day. They were vigorously supported. es-
pecfally Federal Steel and there was a
good demand from the short interest. I'm

at a net gain Of nearly ? points, but it
was a noticeable fact that the early aG-
vance in prices was somewhat laboriously
achieved. The determined effort TO sup
port the market, which was manifest at
the opening, necessitated the acceptance
OF some very heavy offerings before the
weakness was overcome. When the move
ment Of prices was once turned upward II
seemed to have the effect OF checking
speculative liquidation, and the volume
OF dealings were rather small on the up
ward course. But II proved an easy task
for the bears TO undo the work Of tho
bulls, when they commenced to offer
prices down. Tho severest sufferers on
