New York, Jan. 6.-There was a
rather violent fall in the prices of
stocks again today under the Joint in
iiuenee of recrudeseence of the war
scare and the quarterly report OF the
earnings of the United States steel
corporation.
The war scare was the dominating
influence late in the day in all spec
ulatiye markets. The grain markets
jumped and the cotton market broke
in accordance with the commonly &C.
cepted view that an outbreak between
Russia and Japan would awaken an
active demand for cereals to be export
ed from our Pacific ports, while the
interruption of the Chinese cotton
trade would affect that staple.
Pacific railroads were net conspic-
ously in any benefit from the expected
increase in the Pacific export trade in
grain and were in fact amongst the
weakest in the list, scoring losses be-
tween two and three points on the
day,
A few coalers, southern and other
specialties came within an equal range
oi the losses but that range rate ex-
ceeded the average of the days losses.
