PUZZLING EVENTS
INSTOCk MARKET

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S-It is a
rarity in stock market. experience
TO see so violent a price movement
arrested so completely and sud
denly, as was the case today.
The departure from precedent
proved completely mystifying to
the professional trading element.
Their efforts TO conjecture what
lay beneath the surface of the
market resulted in an exceedingly
confused and irregular movement
Time and again fall in price
was arrested by the appearance
of determined buying and bidding.
On the other hand the demand
repeatedly died out in course of
the numerous rallies and left the
market duh and neglected without
apparent power of initiative.
The seeming lack of aggressive
ness lulled the uncovered bears
into a sense of security, and they
showed no signs of anxiety to
cover their short contracts until
late in the day. The unyielding re-
sistance developed to the fall in
prices by that time began to get
on the nerves Of the bears, and
their covering operations caused
an upward reaction that put a
more natural complexion on the
market
Prices dropped back abruptly 70
the lowest of the day, when the
Hill stocks broke in the last hour.
Foreign selling of stocks was an
important Influence in the early
unsettlement.
The fall in British consols today
and yesterday has covered nearly
a full point. In ordinary circum-
stances such fears of socialistic
government policies as are pro-
fessed by the London financial
world. coupled with the consider
able decline in prices of American
securities which has occurred,
would be expected to divert Brit
ish capital into American invest
ments.
The unloading of foreign spec
ulative holdings proves more in
fluential at the moment than any
such investment takings. This
contributed materially to the
morning dip in prices, which put
some of the market leaders to
prices lower than the lowest of
yesterday.
In the northwestern granger
group there was some evidence
of support until the Hill stocks
slumped late in the day. There
was a revival of rumors of the
possibility of dividend reductions
in the group which have been
prevalent for several days
Another spell of weakness in
Rock Island accompanied the cleo
tion of Rock Island representa-
tives to the Lehigh Valley board.
1t was regarded as disappoint-
ment that the new order of things
in that direction did not go fur
ther.
The power of resistance was
considerably weakened toward
the end OF the day, and prices
ended at the lowest in sympathy
with the break in the Hills. Money
continued TO work easier and dis
count rates abroad declined as
we'll
