STOCK MARKET
IS STAGNANT
Professionals Did the Little
Trading That Was
Done.
HILL SECURITIES LED BREAK
HILL SECURITIES LED BREAK
Feature Of Money Market Was
the Demand for Commercial
Paper.

NEW YORK, January 23-There was a
further decline in the activity of stocks
to-day, tho total dealings bearing no larg-
err proportion to those OF yesterday than
did those OF yesterday to the active mar
ket OF Monday. Professional operations
again seemed to make UP practically all
OF tho dealings. Also these operations
were followed without any show OF firm
convictions, aud constant shifting by
traders kept values In an unstable cond-
tion that made the market closely rcsem-
bic that of the day before. The early
decline In sympathy with the break In
the IIIll stocks elected supporting orders
OF tho kind that have made the bears
grow timid and which have given color
to suppositionB that an accumulation OF
stocks has been going on with de-
sire to avoid violent price-tiuctuationB. The
movement In the Hill stocks was direct
response TO the judicial UNFOLDING of the
contention OF the Minnesota State author
tiles that consent OF the State Railroad
Commission was required for the pro-
posed issue of new Great Northern stock.
The opinion In the stock market inclined
to the view that n material obstacle had
been encountered In the way of tho pro-
posed plan for raising new capital. The
companion movement IN Northern Pa
cifc represented tho view that its pro-
posed stock increase might be opposed
by similar measures, while the marked
contrast In the upward movement OF
st. Paul was caused by tho speculative
assumption that the quick manner OF
completing Its stock Issue had forestaiied
such probable hindrance.
A feature Of the money market Is the
improved demand that has sprung up for
commercial paper, which has resulted in
a reduction In rates to 8 "a per cent. for
prime grades. Discounts in Berlin reccdcd
to-day. Net gains predominate to-day
where declines were the rule at the pre-
cedIng close.

 An examination of the turret after the accident failed to show that any serious damage had resulted to the ship. Immediately upon learning the details of the accident Capt Henry McCree, commander of the Georgia, notified Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas, commander of the squadron, of what had occurred. Rear Admiral Thomao ordered an Investigating board to examine into the causey of the accident Until this board makes it's report the real cause of the explo- sion will be in doubt. and it is un- certain that the board will be able to determine definitely what ignited the powder.
 Two theories are entertained One belief is that a spark from the dis hharge of the guns floated back into the turret through gun port and set tied on the powder cases. Another theory is that the spark that caused the trouble came from the smoke stacks of the ship and foated through the gun ports.
