NEW YORK, January 9.-Stock market
- speculation proceeds for the most part In
rather desultory fashion this afternoon. fol-
lowing morning of great activity, In
which there was further heavy selling. off,
set by a continuation of the same remark
able demand that was characteristic of yes
terday's large dealings.
Speciaties. chiefly industrial specialties,
assumed a prominent part in the days
transactions. notably the southern and
western iron stocks, but standard shares n
both the railroad and industrial lists dom
mated the market as whole.
ANA gamated Copper yes more animated
than for several days and Pennsylvania
and the Pennsylvania group, so called, re-
sponded rather encouragingiy to builish
efforts There was rather striking coinci-
dence OF activity and strength in Great
Northern preferred, Chicago and North
western, Omaha and St Paul. the last
named stock especially being one of the
days unQuestloued leaders.
: Union Pacific again fuctuated over
narrow range and accumulation seemed to
be in progress. 1t may be said in regard
TO this stock that q striking relative
scarcity of it has appeared in Wall street
IN so far as the collateral offered for loans
by stock exchange houses is any sign.
The U. P. Securities.
A very small proportion OF Union Pacific,
certainly small in view of the activity Of
the stock is offered by brokers IN the loan
envelopes, and such a condition as this If
1t indicates anything at ALL would seem to
point to the very opposite of distribution.
United States Steel common again mani
rested the characteristics that appeared
yesterday when II was explained that n
very large quantity OF the stock was offer
Ing at As and a little above. The prefer
req stock, however, made new high record
price.
Central Leather was a conspicuous fea-
ture or the early dealings, and was as
strong as 1t was active. 1t IS one of the
low-priced stocks which are confidently
spoken OF In speculative quarters as likely
to attract public interest as the bull specu-
lat!on continues.
Money market movements Of the day were
satisfactory enough, SO far as they DEM
position, considering the brief period that
has elapsed since the recent stringency Gull
minated.
Money on Call
Money on call ruled around per cent and
time money could be borrowed for five and
SIX months at 51s per cent. The subtreas-
ury gained almost three-Quarters of a mil
Hon dollars from the banks yesterday, but
Is still loser of more than twice that
amount on the weeks transactions.
A transfer of $4,000 was made to Gin
cinnati today, for the account of banks
however, and so far IN the week there has
not appeared any sufficient indications that
the expected free movement OF funds from
the interior has begun.
