WET BLANKET THERE
Depressing Influences in the Stock
Market.
STEEL AND NORTHERN SECURITIES
TO-day's Closing Is Dull and Easy
With Price Changes Small
Either Way. re

New York, Jan. 11.-Speculators were keenly
disappointed over the quarterly statement OF
earnings Of the United States Steel Corpora
tion as the preceding rumors of what they
would do proved to have been grossly exag-
gerated. The proceedings against the North
ern Securities company in the supreme court
and the Interstate commerce commission nave
been depressing influence. The money mar
ket has been easier but has not showed the
expected redundancy of credit and has not
stimulated speculation The financial trou-
bles In the rubber trade and of the Everett
Moore syndicate following the collapse OF the
asphalt trust have conduced to conservatism
in the money market and in speculation. The
growing dullness of the stock market has in
dictated the closing out of large speculative
accounts.
