WEAKNESS WAS NARROW
AS RECENT SHOW OF STRENGTH.
New York Central Was Depressed by
Coroner's Verdict Concerning the Park
Avenue Tunnel Disaster.

New York, January %. The weakness OF
todsy's stock market was about as narrow
as the recent show Of strength, and seemed
equally due to professional operators who
took their profits Ia speclaltes that haze
advanced recently. Sugar. Metropolitan
Street Railway, Chicago. Cincinnati, Cleye-
land and st. Louis and Copper we're all
thus affected, and the last showing of
good power OF absorption. New York Cen
trai was depressed by the coroner's YER
dict, holding It's officials responsible for
the Park avenue tunnel disaster. There
were sharp advances in Rutland preferred,
81. Lawrence and Adirondacks, Peoria and
Eastern, Chicago and Eastern Illinois and
the National Lead stocks.
The decline on the bank statement was
probably due to It's failure to attract ans
buying to absorb the profit taking The
gains In cash were fully up TO expectations.
The fact that interior institutions have been
placing loans In New York led solne to
hope that corresponding reduction in de-
posits would result to the New York banks
but the statement failed to show this. On
the contrary, loans OF the local banks ex.
banded S2,4l3,JOO The influence of this
showing Is emphasized by the compilation
Of the annual showing OF the New York
