Market Due to Heavy
Profit Realizing Sales

NEW YORK. Jan. 5.-PTice movements
In this mornings stock market were ex-
ceedtngIy irregular.
From the outset of business very heavy
proHt-reaIizing sales we're evident in
every quarter Of the market and paTtic-
ularly in those stocks in which the
Western contingent has been the most
active. Apart from this evident liquida-
ton. however. there was very little sell
ing pressure and in fact, an excellent de
mand for securities was reported by
commission houses
As was to be expected in view Of the
prevailing conditions in the money
market, discussion centered chiefly
around the prospects for today's bank
statement to which the preliminary esti-
mates indicated a favorable showing
What was Of greater significance was the
exceedingly cheerful tenor Of the reports
upon the country's trade set forth in the
usual summaries OF the mercantile
agencies.
American stocks were shown at irreg-
ular changes in the London market and
foreign houses were sellers on balance
here
The most active features of the rail
way list were St. Paul, Southern and
Union Pacific. Reading, Erie. and Atchi-
son. The United States Steel shares
ruled firm. Notwithstanding the reaction
ary tendencies in the general market,
and sugar refining was likewise steady.
Anal gamated Copper was lower, in sym
pathy with the general list.
There was an entire absence Of news
over night with any bearing upon the
general market or particular stocks.
Most observers of the dealings were dis
posed to regard the recession in prices
as entirely logical. in view of the extern
sive advance Of the past three weeks.

virtually the close of the year in the
stock market.
The bank statement made q very
strong showing, one in fact which was
fully IN line with the most sanguine
estimates. The increase in actual cash
amounted to no less than s., 434. 600, the
gain in that item probably representing
largely the re-depOsit OF currency with

extraordinarily heavy holiday disburse-
Tnents. The loan account increased only

The bank statement was far better
than expected and indicates that the
tide has turned in the money situation.
The action Of the market following the
announcement of the statement was con
fusiug. It's extremely favorable char

part of room traders. but underneath
this selling there was steady buying,
particularly so in Erie. Reading. the
