Stock Dividend Rumor.

News of stock marketwise bearing
naturally attracted little attention In a
Day when the market itself was furnish
ing so many features. AS a matter of
fact external developments were not of a
very definite character and consisted very
,ar gely of rumor and surmise.
One report was current that at the meet
ing of the United States Steel directors
next week a fractional extra distribution
will be made on the common stock, a
report that was quite consistent with
confident predictions that there would
be no increase in the regular rate.
Call money ruled around ga per cent

NEW YORK January 1a-With the
failure of two stock exchange houses. re-
I. cent stock market developments seemed
today to have reached certain logical
conclusion. Neither suspension was OF
any particular Importance. although both
were not devoid Of a certain Wall street
significance. II is no unusual thing for
such failures to result when violent re-
action follows a prolonged period Of bull
ish activity iN the market and so-called
hull failures in a hearfsh movement are
apt to be regarded as indicating an ap-
proximate termination of the decline.
Very likely the dissemination of today's
stock marker news will result in some
further liquidation. but unless II should
be more extensive than there is any rea-
son TO expect the short interest, which
has been accommodating this week. is not
likely TO be relieved from situation that
contains elements OF embarrassing posi-
bilities for the bearishly inclined.
This is to some degree at least influ-
entail from the way in which powerful
support has been extended to the general
market this week and from the aggres-
sive absorption of leading issues around
midday today, when stock market ex-
element was at its height and demorali
zation was threatened before the an
nouncements of suspensions explained the
precipitcus breaks in some issues.
Opening Show Of Strength.
The market opened with a substantial
show of strength. which persisted dur
ing the greater part of the forenoon.
despite the marked weakness which de-
veloped In the PETERBOROUGH Metropolitan
issues. with which the other local trac-
ton stocks sympathized. The selling of
the marlborough stocks was perhaps ex-
plicable on the theory that the good news
Of powerful financial backing had been
published. but may have been related to
the construction generally put upon the
statement of earnings made yesterday.
According to the president Of the COM
pany. the facts seem to be overlooked
that at the present rate of profit the
company bids fair to earn substantial
surplus in the current fiscal year.
Two or three other stocks. notably Utah
Copper and Republic Steel. displayed
early forenoon weakness, but the market
a whole was strong both in price and
tone. with especial strength displayed in
Missouri Pacific, q strength that was
commonly supposed to be owing to the
actual Inauguration of the company's
new financial undertakings.
