DOWNWARD TENDENCY
OF STOCKS CONTINUES
Closing of Market Leaves Most of
Active Issues at Lowest
Level Seen in Many
Weeks

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.--The downward
movement in the stock market, which
mad its inception last week and has
proceeded with more or less regularity
since, assumed large proportions today,
when on heavy liquidation prices crum-
bled throughout the list There was a
generalization in the final hour, and
the closing left most of the active issues
at the lowest level seen in many weeks
So many conflicting conditions enter
into the market situation at this time
that it would seem idle to attribute the
steady fall of prices to any specific rea-
son. In some quarters the situation is
l1kened to that in the fall of 1907, but
the sound position of banks, the in
creasing case of money the continue
ance of prosperous business in almost
all commercial and industrial lines, are
in themselves enough to offset such
fears.
The recent Rock Island episode un-
doubleday gave rise to misgivings, and
the status of the American Tobacco
and Standard Oil cases at washington
are not reassuring to the conservative
element, whose operations in the secur-
tiles market are always ones with
which to reckon.
Trading today reached the large to-
tai of 1,25S,000 shares. OF this amount
more tHdH 20 per cent was United
States Steel, which touched the lowest
level, S4A, since last October.
Other stocks which helped to swell the
days business were Reading, OF which
more than 1000 shares changed
hands, and Union and Southern Pa
cific. The largest net loss was in Con-
solidated Gas, which declined almost 6
points, while other declines ranging
from 2 to points were general.
The bond market was affected to an
unusual degree, all the better known
issues showing severe declines.
