STOCK MARKET
 CONTINUES FIRM Prices Make Good Advance in
 Days Trading SOME NERVOUSNESS FELT The Market Is Waiting For the Quar- terly Report of the United States Steel Corporation, Which
 Will Gauge Prices.
SOME NERVOUSNESS FELT

New York, January 2S-The strength shown by stocks today was con sidered to be due to much the same causes as yesterday, fos- tering measures by large banking and capital interests against an undue effect from unfavorable incidents and the needs of an uncovered short interest being re- garded as prime factors in the advance. The rise was followed with reserve by the speculative element and alertness to take profits kept the tone unsettled at times. Much importance was attached to the quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation, and as it was known that the report would not be made public until after the close of the market, so that no opportunity would be offered to operate in the market until tomorrow, there was disposition to wait until then in making commitments.
 The action of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis directors in reduc- ing the dividend on their stock from 2 to l per cent for the half had a chilling ef feet on sentiment, chiefly by reason of the severe effect on the prices of the stock itself. The earnings report of the com pany, which was published at the same time, gave food for thought in the heavy inroad of operating expenses and fixed charges on the sum available for div1- dends owing to the apprehension that a general tendency might be illustrated by this case. The effect was partly offset by the simultaneous increase in the divi- dend on the New York; Chicago and St. Louis second preferred stock, another subsidiary Vanderbilt company. A cheer full effect was produced also by various reports from scattered sources of resump- tion Of operations by factories which have been closed down, although this informa- tion was modified again by contrasting reports of continued reduction of shop forces by some of the large railroad sys- tems.
 Estimates from official sources of the Altoona, Pa, showed that the rate of shrinkage for January was considerably greater than in December, the December movement showing 35,OOO less cars than the preceding December, while prelimi- nary estimates of the Janury movement show a decrease of 60O00 cars from the January preceding. Reports of an ad- vance in the price of copper by the selling agent of the principal producers was an element in the strength shown ,by the metal stocks, including Amalgamated Copper and American Smelling. The sup porting operations centered largely in Reading.
 The decrease in the borrowing demand for stocks in the loan crowd reflected the diminution in the short interest in the market. and the tone was affected by

COTTON MARKET !

 General Circulation
SPOT MARKETS ARE. EASIER
Reports From English Cotton Manu. featuring Centers Are Not Re- assuring and Prices In Con-
 sequence Go Lower.

New York, January 2S.-The cotton mar ket was weak and unsettled during to- days session. closing steady at a net decline of 13 to IS points. Sales were es- timated at 350,000 bales. The market op- ened steady at an advance of points on January, but generally to points lower, and sold about to points net lower on the active months during the first few minutes under local bear pressure and liquidation. This was followed by a rally as result of covering and private cables reporting that German weavers would not go on short time as rumored yesterday, but after showing a net gain of points the market turned very weak under re- ports of easy spot markets in the south and talk of increasing receipts.
 Southern houses were sellers during the afternoon, presumably against spots, and local bears seemed to be working for stop orders. The low point was reached in the late session, when March sold at TO- 92c and May at 10. 97c, or 15 to 16 points net lower. The close was at practically the lowest level of the day Southern spot markets as generally reported were sc lower. One cable was received from Liv- erpool saying that reports from Manches- ter were gloomy, but other advices were to the effect that short time in Lancashire was impossible before July l.
 Receipts at the ports today. S4,274 bales, against 46,636 last week and 6l.422 last year. For the week, 225,0OO bales, against 263019 last week and 30S,O23 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 1O9SS bales, against 13,923 last year. and at Houston, 19,62O bales, against S1 ,452 last year.

Hubbard Rros., 0 co.,s Letter.

New York, January 2S.-(special)-An improving market was suddenly changed into a declining one by the large receipts at Pensacola, which brought about the liquidation of some long cotton for outside interests, who become uneasy at the m crease in the receipts today and the re- port that the German spinners were talk ing of short time. Inquiry by cable brought many denials from Bremen, and the spinning districts, but the quick de- cline had shaken the market, and it dld not rally at the close. Naturally, so se- we're a change increased the pessimistic tone of yesterday, though at the low point investment buying was again notice- able.
 In Liverpool spinners were reported as buying freely on the spot, and for foi = ward delivery, but the tone in arrival market was easy, due to the selling by spot houses.

New Orleans, January &-Cotton spots were quiet at a loss of 1sc on all grades. Middling, 12c Sales were 800 bales on the spot and 1150 to arrive. Futures opened barely steady, to points below the close yesterday, and eased off several points more through lack of support. Bearish reports to the effect that Ger man weavers contemplated working short hours and that some of the Lancashire mills will reduce their present working schedules had a depressing effect and brought about Ba further recession in values. Later cables denied the truth of the earlier reports, but failed to stimu- late the market to any degree. The mar ket became steadier during the late ses- sion but failed to regain the early losses and at the close, which was firm the ac- tive months were Il to 16 points below the close yesterday.
