NEW YORK. Jan. Z.-Close.-It was
q Steel market this morning, Steel,
common. and nothing else OF course
there was the usual short sessions busi-
ness throughout the list but the opera
tons in steel, common, OvershadOwed
everything else and also made the fea-
ture rise Of the session
There was much talk 6nent Steel COM
mon and It's dividend In the gossip Of
the morning, the talk being Of the COM
mon stock going on a 3 per cent basis
and OF an extra 3 Of per cent dividend
which would make the distribution for
the year 4 per cent The street gen
orally inclined TO the theory that the
dividend would be raised from / per
cent quarterly 10 IL Admittedly the
Steel Corporation IS doing business
enough ana accommodating net earnings
more than sufficient TO warrant q ; per
cent basis for the common stock Z Mr..
Morgan and his associates decide shat
such payment is advisable Whether
they have or not viii remain IN doubt
until next Tuesday when the directors
meet to take action on the dividend and
report on he untitled tonnage.
At any event the TumOr was effective

an advance In Steel common, which
opened at s. and 5000 shares sOld in
The first few minutes. between STfIS71s,

Steel Rise Checked Slump
It was plain to be seen that Steel com
mon had furnished the necessary brake
10 check the slump in rails and other
fndustrials. Not tonic BY any means
for the bears were busy early else
where around the list, and they did
not show any disposition to cover, but
the Steel rise checked their efforts and
enabled the market TO hold about on
q par with the final figures Of yester-
day. while the earlier trend and lncllDa-
ton was distinctly downward

cate the narrow net changes elsewhere
throughout the list, not important
enough Tor SPECIAL mention There were
exceptions, Locomotive making nearly a
point gain. Consolidated Gas =, but the
whole was but little betteT-SOmetime a
little worse Alton was weak so was
Brooklyn Rapid Traction and PennSy-
It looks as II the market had about
reached bedrock, that liquidation had
ended. and that the bears had sold
themselves to the limit Of their nerve

one. with 81. O00,O00 reseTves-surplus-
The market is safer now for trading
