STOCK PRICES
 HAD WIDE RANGE The New York Exchange Opened
 Badly Depressed THE WEAKNESS WAS ACUTE Steel Stocks Were Inclined to Strength en All Day and Showed Net Gains, While Sugar Showed a De-
 cded Improvement.

New York; January 25.-Prices traversed a considerable range from the low level to the top level covering a large number of stocks and ranging from two to about three and a half points for some of the most prominently active in the list. The number of stocks at any time got point away from last nights level in either direction was small, however. The early decline in prices was assisted by Londons disposition to sell American stocks, which had estab- lished declines ranging up to nearly point in some of the American stocks before the opening hour. The New York market open ed depressed in sympathy and weakness was rather acute in some cases, notably in St. Paul and Brooklyn Transit. These stocks later in the day led the advance so that the extreme range was wide, St. Paul rising 35s from the lowest, and closing at the top, while Brooklyn Transit advanced an extreme 25s.
 This mornings decline coming on top of that of yesterday, invited some buying to support prices and the market hardened pretty promptly after the opening dip The movement was exceedingly desultory and there were frequent reactions during the day.
 The steel stocks were inclined to strength en all day and showed good net gains Sugar showed decided improvement. North ern Pacific rallied 2h after early de- pression and there were a number of less prominent railroads which showed good recoveries. The gains were not well main- tained and the closing was below the best, except in a few stocks, notably St. Paul and the Southwesterns.
 Large demand for St. Louis Southwest ern 2s was the inception of an active buy ing movement of bonds of all the South westerns at notable advances in prices. The general market was firm but quiet. Total saves, par value, $5,925,0OO United States 3s, coupon, advanced 5s per cent on the last call.

COTTON MARKET
 HAS A DULL DAY Tightness of the January Posi- Sition Was the Feature CLOSE WAS QUITE STEADY Prices Were 3 to 19 Points Higher, With the Exception of February,
 Which Closed NomnalIy
 Four Points Lower.
CLOSE WAS QUITE STEADY

New York, January 25.-Tightness in the January position, due to nervous demand from shorts rather than to any extra effort on the part of the bull clique was easily the feature of todays developments on the cotton exchange. At best speculation was very small and quite of a professional turn. There was not much in the way of news and not until the January deal began to work itself out was there any important changes. On the call the feeling was steady with prices unchanged to points lower Covering soon restored the entire list to last nights level after which a point or two range constituted fluctuations up to the noon hour.
 The current month shorts were made ex- tremely uneasy by talk of a small insight for the week and higher prices in southern markets, turn to cover was soon decided upon and for the rest of the afternoon buy ing by January shorts was the feature of the business done. From outward appear ance January seemed no effort to place their opponents at a disadvantage. Ten cents was soon reached and later 10.10, this ad- vance causing the rest of the list to improve sharply. few moderate sized buying or ders from the south and an advance of Il in spot cotton here helped the market. At the close the market was steady with prices to 19 points higher with the excep tion of February, which nominally four points net lower.

Financial

New York, January 25.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram:
 The stock market here today was inac- tive in heavy sympathy with many forced sales of Westralian shares, an aftermath of the recent Wright collapse. American stocks seemed to have lost all animation. In the early trading they were dull and lower with a dragging tendency. Later they hardened on good buying of Denver and Rio Grande issues. No reason was given for the sudden interest in the shares.
 Money was a little stiffer. Call loans were from 8 to 31s per cent. This was result of the bank returns showing a re- duction in the market balances amounting to $4,OO0, O0O Most of this came from reve- nue collections The bank was borrowing bills at 41b per cent. Silver was harder on purchases for the straights.
