After an Attempt to Un-
dermine the Market.
Little Change in the Business
Conditions as a Whole.
Trading in Bonds Quiet for Week
But Heavy for Month.

New York, Feb. 4.-The active and
highly irregular movements of stocks,
last week, presented a decided contrast
to the duh, steady markets, during
the greater part of January Specula-
ton was on q large scale FOR time
and prices Were forced downward
rapidly. The growth of bearsh senti-
ment to some extent was a response
TO several unfavorable influences,
among which the financial statements
of the Hartman Pacifies and the
United States Steel Corporation stood
out most prominently. In the main,
however. the movement represented
speculative attempt to bring on a
bear market Professional traders APP
parently worked on the theory that,
as the usual January rise" had not
occurred. this year it would be COM
paratively easy to force d decline At
the low prices of the week, many of
the active stocks showed losses from
the preceding weeks close of three or
four points, but it was noticeable
that as soon as selling by profession
ais diminished, the market showed a
tendency to recover. The speculative
element was unable to enlist support
i'll it's attempts to undermine the mar
ket, and in the last two days of the
week stocks We're steadier.
Although the report of the United
States Steel Corporation for the last
quarter of 1911 was fully up to ex-
pectations, its publication served to
draw attention to the disadvantages
under which it has been operating re-

of prices.
Although the earnings of Union Pa

sharply, some of the Eastern roads

was especially true of the Penusylva-
MIA and New York Central systems
Trade reports for the most part were
of an indefinite character, indicating
little change in business conditions as
a whole. Orders for steel and iron
products We're in fairly large volume
but in some lines there was falling
off. Stability of the copper quotations
at the ruling nominal level was ir

Trading in bonds fell considerably
below the recent average. The Jan

Regarding statements made by In
dustrial Workers leaders that the
Central Labor Union has demanded
of all applicants for strike assistance
that they join the 4. F. of T., a de-
NAL was made, tonight. 1t was said
further that no discrimination had been
or will be made in dispensing strike
relief and that the Central Labor
Union will not attempt for the present
TO gain converts to the A F. of l..

clared in answer to question as to
what bearing the action OF the Cen

strike that the naill owners must deal
with the strife committee which is
controlled by the Industrial Workers
of the World. and that any other body
or bodies which endeavor TO prevent
this will be regarded as interlopers
and without any standing.
