MARKET SUMMARY.
Movement Bearish and Prices for
Week Irregular.

New York, Jan. 27.-Several infiu-
ences of an unfavorable nature we're
brought to bear upon stocks this week
and movements of prices were hest
tating and irregular. Toward the end
Of the week operations for the decline
became more aggressive and the I'M
dertone was heavier, although the
level of prices was changed but little.
Reduction of the st. Paul dividend
rate from Z to ) per cent, although
discounted by the fail in the prices of
the stock, was a depressing factor.
Trading in United States Steel was in
fiuenced by the corporation commits
sioner's report advocating segregation
from the Steel corporation of its rail-
road holdings Speculation in the
stocks and bonds of the tobacco COM
panies was active and prices of some
of these issues rose rapidly.
The bond market continued to re-
fleet the heavy demand and trading in
bonds was relatively more active than
in stocks. Foreign exchange rates
rose to the hifhest point in nearly two
years on account of the demand for
bills in connection with foreign loans
placed by bankers who took advantage
of the higher rates offered abroad.

On one occasion he broke into a club

The police have laid traps for the
