NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Jan 1.-THE leading speeu-
latiYe stocks We're under severe pressure,
today, and prices fell. Sentiment was
more bearish and traders on the long
side of the market We're unable to follow
up the advantage which they gained yes
tcrday. After a show of strength in the
early trading the market responded 10
the effects of aggressive bear selling and
was heavy during the remainder OF the
day with periods of pronounced weak
ness.
Union Pacific was once moro the center
of the bear attack. and its recovery OF
yesterday was cancelled by q viewpoint
decline. The movement in this stock was
of the battling nature which mas attract
ed SO much attention during the last rev
weeks. As the price gave way the sup
ply seemed to Increase, and the manlpa-
lation of the stock was conducted IN
such a WAY that traders We're unable 10
discover the source of the selling. Va
rious reports concerning the dividend pol
lev of the company We're heard. but they
lacked authenticity. and attracted no Sc
riuus attention. owing To the steady
pressure against the stock the hecembes
report of earnings is awaited with UNI
usual interest.
Reading also showed pronounced weak
ness at times and fell back two points
Southern Pacific, ST. Paul. Canadian Pa
cife and the copper and Steel shares also
were under pressure. Their weakness eN-
ercised a depressing effect upon tn
whole list The news from washington

investigation WAS accounted factor III
unsettling the market.
Foreign bidding for money continued
IOmefs for London for funds over the end
of the month We're somewhat higher than
yesterday. some bids of A per cent. being
made. With the local rate for similar
loans under per cent. number OF
banks placed funds abroad. Money il
this market was abundant. Receipts from
the interior are large enough to indicate
another cash gain for the week.
London was agains bearish on Ameri-
can stocks. Prices declined there before
the opening in this market aud during
the day about t2.o00 shares We're sold fol

states Steel and Union Pacific.
