Tho question is an interesting one,

STOCK MARKET
YET UNCERTAIN
Little Change From Listless
Condition That Prevailed
Last Week

New York. Jan. 16.-There is little
to distinguish the record Of today's
trading in stocks from that Of last
week. with its uncertain movements
and under current OF heaviness. No
new influences of importance were
market. Prices were depressed In the
early part of the day but later the
market advanced in a hesitating way.
The end Of the day found price
changes in most instances insigniii-
cant.
AS prices moved downward opera
lions for the short account were EN-
couraged by reports of selling by i'm
p0rtant financial interests. The move
ment was directed against the stocks
which were conspicuously heavy last
week. particularly the coppers Har-
riman issues. and st. Paul. These is-
sues and a few Of the less active
stocks were depressed a point OF 80.
but the bears were unable to dislodge
long stock and losses in most cases
were small.
The coal stocks moved in eccentric
fashion. After declining moderately
they became strong. and both Read!ns
and Lehigh Valley at n time stood
nearly two points above the previous
close. st. Paul was conspicuous in
the late trading. For several weeks
it has been under pressure owing to
the expectation hat the dividend
would be reduced from seven per cent
to five per cent. 1t became strong
and active late in the day and closed
with a small gain. Action on the divi-
and Il large short interest is believed
to have been built UP in the stock.
which at its present price apparently
has discounted the effect of a change
in the rate.
An influence which helped to bring
about the improvement in ton was
the evidence. as the day progressed,
of a broader inquiry for investment
securities sec The report Of q an M im NJ
Chicago and Northwestern, following
the announcement last week Of a $14,-
600. 900 issue to be brought out by
Norfolk and Western. indicated that
the railroads were taking advantage
of present money market conditions.
The New York Central it Is UNDER
stood will bring out a large issue of

New York and Harlem. The great
gains in cash reported in Saturdays
bank statement exerted a sentimental
influence on the money market al
though there was scarcely any Dor
rowing OF time FUNDS and the inquiry
for call money fell far short Of the
available supply.
The foreign markets were more
cheerful, owing to the passing of the
financial crisis in France. This i'm
provement, however. did not extend
to Americans in London. which were
heavy before the opening here. Lon
