FAR EASTERN SITUATION STILL
 A FACTOR.
stagnation of the Market Result # the Uncertainty of the Out
 come-lnvestors are. Waiting.

NEW YORK. Jan. is-The inert stock mar ket today seemed to reflect development in af- in itself a result of the uncertainty over the outcome of the Far Eastern crisis. The same effect was caused in the various commodity markets which have shown themselves under the influence of the war news and the foreign securities market was practically idle today These markets were evidently waiting all of them for some defnite shaping of the future events. The constantly varying rumors of each day regarding the chances of peace or war seemed today to have lost their power for inducing active operations in the markets. The serious possibilities involved in the sitG- ation are abundantiy realized and the conciu- sion seems to have been reached to sit down and await the outcome. In absence of specu- lative demand for loans, the offering of call
 money became so large today as to suggest an early stage of plethora In the money supply The Government nscal operations at the. sub treasury are yielding large returns to the money market by reason of pension payments interest payments and payments on account of year mail contracts. This abundance of money resources still signally fails to attract any demand for securities either of stocks or bonds. Only a handful of minor stocks moved widely today with rather passable evidences of manipulation to account for the movemnts. At the same time there was conspicuous falling off in the rate of activity of the few prominent stocks, made up the bulk of the dealings in the recent dull markets, such as Arnalgamated Copper, Pennsylvania and United States Steel preferred. The uncertainties of the war out look considered sufficient exclamation of the indispositon to trade but influence is ex- erted also by the large amount of railroad bor- rowings hanging over the market. and which are competently estimated at about over ESQ.,
 ooo0 0o0 The news of a $25, 900, 900 loan to
 the Pittsburg Coal Company also suggests the
 ndust-ials as possible additional borrowers on a considerable scale. The possibility of an unheralded decision being un- expectediy handed down In the Northern &c., curities case is another factor making for con- servatism in speculative commitments. Prices today gravitated to a lower level from sheer inanimation, and the closing was on the down grade

NEW YORK, Jan l3.-In the Liverpool mar

 had warranted a better market there The war question was still disturbing Liverpool
 and some of the bulls also did not like the po- litical situation abroad. The character of re- ceipts however. was such than nobody cared to sell except in q small way Day after day the movement is falling off and under such circumstances small crop estimates are gaining fin favor. The market opened at decline of 6a2i points. There a good deal o6 busi-

The consequence was sharp recovery after first sales were aided by a small estimate in

Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of $50 cars com pared with 525 cars last week and 36e cars a year ago.
 The dominating influence in corn was the small receipts, poor grading and good cash demand. There was good general demand the entire day with commission houses leading fin the buying.

fEager Private Wire from Y. A lIougshore & Col
 NEW YORK. Jan. l3.-Tb ccotton future market today rather irregular. There was ssrne buying on the lower levels and some az efessiyeness among the bull forces still in evidence. but the top prices there was unsnistakable evidence of selling for both sides of fhe account and under the circumstances at times the market looked rather weak On the opening there considerable liquidation md the first prices at decline of 6@2l points. The Liverpool cables were disappoint- ing. and there less disposition among the optinists to interpret the Far Eastern situa- fion as sr-huIl factor. The wire service to many interior points poor and this re- Efricted business in large measure The re- refpts were small at port and interior points, feature had been discounted by the recent strong up turns in the speculative market. The NIlson crop estimate attracted more less attention, indicating a yield of I0746, 900 bales. The average guess of the cotton ex- change membership is lo.724.oo0 bsles and on the figures there a little selling by the strong forces. The spot markets were steady and quiet with small offerings and only linjted demand. The interior arrivals for the week figured considerably rn- der those for the corresponding wek last year and the indications pointed to a bullish set of statistics for the entire week. Sentiment on the close Of the market, however, gener- ally mixed The estimated port receipts for the day were 25.ooo, against 34, 439 for the same day last year.
