Resistance to Pressure.

Southern Pacific. Union Pacific, Penn

Consolidated Gas and the copper metal
group displayed early and continuing re-
sistance to pressure and their price
movement was sufficiently influential to
offset depressing considerations resulting
from yesterdays market.
If Rock Island, which plunged so vio-
lently downward yesterday. was a prime
factor in the unsettlement of today, 1t is
interesting to note that further weak
ness exhibited by it this morning was
without any untoward consequence on the
rest of the list.
In fact, not only Rock Island, but q
good many other smaller stocks, which
have little or no apparent value, or the
prospects of value outside that which
may accrue from the nuisance which they
represent, or for which they may be re-
sponsible, could suffer marked deprecia-
ton in quotations without detriment to
the market as a whole. provided only that
sufficient support were extended to STAN
dard issues to indicate the disposition in
important financial quarters.
There was quantity of gossip current
today purporting to account for the course
of Rock Island recently and particularly
for its decline yesterday to the accom-
paniment OF general market derange-
ment.
Whether, however. yesterdays episode
was related to any process OF eliminating
an undesirable element. not only from
the stock market situation, but from the
world OF corporate finance as well, or
whether ii represented merely the out
come of dissensions in some speculative
quarter. there Is no question that Wall
street has been furnished in the last fort
night with another demonstration in nui-

local securities. Prices were we'll main
tanned throughout.
In the bond list Potomac Electric Con-
solidat tied Us were easily the leaders, and
sustained bid of 1O1h brought out a
total of $23NO. After call there was
considerable bidding for Washington Gas
Is. and few Of the bonds were taken at
1861. and 1O7.
Washington gas stock offered the prin-
cipal feature of the days business. and
the keen interest was maintained through
almost thirty minutes continuous trad
ing Little advantage was gained by
either the buyers or the sellers of this
security. as the price was he'd steadily
between 1874 and 1874. At these figures
upward Of 800 shares were recorded as

Prices Well Maintained.

After midday the market was rather
dull, but the range of prices made on
the forenoon recovery was fairly we'll
maintained. At that time the stock
market community was disposed to think
that the market was waiting upon or was
President Taft's new message to Con-
greSs.
Considering the frankness with which
the President has been disclosing the
recommendations which this message is
10 make and the length Of time that his
views in this regard have been before the
financial district for consideration, this
suggestion lacked FEASIBILITY.
Clearly the most important financial
event OF the day was the reduction in the
Hank OF England's minimum discount
rate to 4 per cent The reduction was ap-
parently made, not so much because of
the present strength OF the banks posi-
ton. but because of the disadvantages
which might follow efforts to maintain
the effectiveness of a rate more than
per cent above the level of discounts in
the open market.
At the same time the mere lowering
Of the rate is an indication of relaxing
money conditions. which were shown here
in further easing off in the call loan
market.
The bulk OF the days accommodations
was provided at 6Aa61. per cent, and
some loans were renewed As low as 6
per cent although the . per cent figure
was touched in the forenoon Foreign
exchange was rather easy in the early
part of the day

There has been a controversy OF long
standing as to who was the actual found

of Washington. The headquarters are in

AUTOISTS INTERESTED
IN NEW LOCAL COURSE
Prominent Track Men in East Look
with Favor on Enterprise of
Jack Prince

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Automobilists
the country over, and especially the fol-
lowers of speed contests, are interested
in the saucer board track which is to
be constructed in Los Angeles. 1t will
be like the track built in Madison
Square Garden for the siX-day bicycle
races, but on a much larger scale.
There has been mucn discussion
among experts relative to the merits
of the board surface for autos, some of
the best engineers and deVisers in the
country having been free in their praise
of it, claiming that the eo-efficient OF
friction between rubber and wood VIII
prove much better than between rubber
and any other surface. 1t is also
claimed that there will be much less
heating of tires, and what heat is gem
Grated will be more quickly dissipated
than with any other medium. Yet there
are many who believe the scheme will
not be practical.
The track will be one mile in circum-
ference, a true circle in shape, and the
turn will have an enormous radius,
much greater than those of the famous
Brooklands track in England. 1t viii
be seventy-fiye feet wide and uniform
lily banked to a gradient of three in
one. On the outer edge it will be
twenty-five feet high.
Many of the greatest racing drivers
have indorsed the construction among
them George Robertson, who will drive
his new Simplex racer on the track;
Lewis Strang and Ralph De Palma.
The two last named also have entered
cars for the opening meet in April.
Louis Chevrolet, Walter Christie, Bar
ney Oldheld and Joe Watson are others
who speak highly of the innovation and
have expressed desire to drive there
also. The National and Marmon teams
have been entered and from present
indications about every driver OF note
will be on hand for the racing.
The timing of the cars ON the new
track win be automatic, and all rec
ords made on the course will be ac-
cepted as authentic.
