WALL STREET NOTES
SnOWStOrm Keeps Many OF
the Traders at Home.
HEAVINESS IN PENNSYLVANIA
Fear of Curtaiiment in steel Pro-
ductiOn Affects Railway shares.
Reading Goes Below Par for First
Time Since AdVance-DeIaYare and
Hudson One of the Weak Stocks.

New York, Jan. 2i.-On account OF the
snow storm the attendance Of brokers on
the floor Of the stock exchange to-day
was only about half what it would other
wise have been, and the commission
houses. with their array Of empty chairs,
showed that the semi-professionaI traders
had so little interest in the market that
the first outbreak Of real winter was
sufficient TO keep them away from their
usual haunts.
The drift Of prices c0rresponded to the
lack of interest, FOR, except IN the hard
coal stocks. there was hardly a move
ment that could under any circumstances
have aroused interest. Prices moved with
in a narrow range, with no indication Of
any important change. The idle clerks
had a hard time making an appearance of
earning their salaries.
Pennsylvania showed the heaviness of
the Steel issues. as was very natural in
view of the extent TO which the traffic of
the railroad depends upon the business of
the steel plants in the Pittsburg district.
There was a revival Of the rumor about
an issue Of bonds by the road, but that
this was merely a result OF the decline
rather than the cause of it became clear
when a denial of the story failed TO
stiffen the price Of the stock, The gen
eral belief was that while the company
had no pressing need of funds il was
/ figuring on taking advantage Of easy
money to furnish future requirements
The arrival Of winter weather did not
help Reading, and the stock dropped below
par for the first time since the decline
began The highest point of the last
upward movement was H. made on Sat
urday. and again attaiasd on Monday
the decline since the beginning of the
week being about 10 per cent Stop
orders We're met with on the way down,
ard the object of driving the stock below
par was TO catch e. number of these
which existed al about that figure.
Delaware and Hudson was one of the
weakest stocks I'm the list. its weakness
being pretty generally ascribed to the
announcement that the company would
soon make an issue Of Sl00J0,o9J notes
/ To replace a S5Uy901 issue OF sub
sidlary company, maturing In the near
future. and to provide for other con-
/ tingenCies.
Probably the Hudson COMPANY with
| its Sl5.o00.000 note issue, will be the next
corporation to make d bid for funds IN
the money market, but other concerns
will be heard from in the near future.
The expectation among those who know
the details of the Hudson Company af-
fairs, is that this concerns offerings viii
meet with almost instantaneous success.

stocks were only fractional. except
Reading. which shows a decline OF
about points. For a market OF this
kind there is little comment. Dealings
are chiefly professional with evident

forecast of the movement Of currency

COMMENT ON MARKET.

George l.. Edmunds. Of Miller & Co.
The market was professional and
showed q narrow tendency. though
London sold 10000 shares during the
morning, most Of IL Steel common. Del
aware and Hudson showed extreme
weakness on news OF placing notes.
In market with the upward tendency
this would have been called successful
financing and would have rallied the
stock Business was concentrated,
probably only half dozen issues
showing any activity. ] believe the
old bear crowd. which was so success
ul last year, has been working hard
to-day. The tendency of the market
seems plainly TO become dulleT ana
narrow. but the short interest is grow
ing rapidly. and the level OF prices is
$50 low that anything at all helpful i'm
the way Of better traffic returns viii
cause decided advance.
c. Bowie Chapman. Of i. i. Hutton q Co.
There was absolutely uo feature in
to-day's market, with only professional
transactions Of a limited kind. The
bulk Of business was by room traders
who were satisfied I'm scalping frac-
tious Probably the only matter OF
interest was the publication of the
preliminary bank figures which iudi-
Gated another large gain OF cash from
the interior. about $16,500,50o. The
market did not reflect this favorable
factor as the Union Pacific suit stiII
hangs over the market and Wall street
wants 10 know the character OF this
suit, aud we viii probably not hear
from the Attorney General until Mon
day. Sentiment continues 20 grow on
the bear side OF the market and ! feel
that this may prove dangerous at the
present level There is some iudica-
tion Of good buying in the standard
railways ou this decline which may
cause d good rally during the coming
week"
