Do THoMAs c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Jan. 9.-Stocks were weak
to-day throughout the session, and closed
about the low figures, net losses running
as high as two points in some OF the ac-
tive issues. Trading was on very light
scale. and transactions were almost en-
tirely professional. Features Of the day
were strength of Third Avenue stock and
Wabash bonds.
r Wheat prices broke sharply, and cotton
was heavy, following announcement py
the government that 14.S52,756 bales had
been ginned up to January l.
The stock market was influenced by the
fire that destroyed the Equitable Lie AS
surance Building. More than one billion
dollars Of securities and money are buried
in the ruins. Examination late in the day
proved that all these securities are sate
and can be taken out as soon as the
vaults cool, but at first there was some
apprehension. The tying up Of these Sc
curities, together with the blockade OF
the streets, interfered with stock de-
liveries, and the governors Of the eN-
change suspended delivery for the day.
Aside from the loss Of life. the Equi-
table fire Is in reality a good thing for
everybody concerned, and particularly for
the Equitable Life. The building was
antiquated, but the society hestated
about tearing il down in these dull times.
That question is now decided without
any person being responsible, and mag
nificent new skyscraper will rise at once,

Stocks Weak All Day, and Market Still Less Ac-
tive Owing to the Equitable Fire

so that the fire will prove a distinct
financial advantage for the society. The
Hartman companies had removed prac-
ticaIly all of their belongings to 165
Broadway. The Life Assurance records
were stored in duplicate in other places.
The fact that this fire influenced the
market so much is a further indication
of its professional character. AS readers
Of this column well know, the market
had for the last two weeks been in a pre-
carious condition, and the weakness Of
to-day was surprising only because 1t
came after such a long delay. The i'm
portant interests favor a reaction, not
because they are bearish, but because the
market had been going up TO fast.
London markets were weak in the
American department. A quick decline
in Canadian Pacific was accompanied
with a report that Sir Thomas Shaugh-
messy would retire from management
of the company. This was denied. The
London markets were also Influenced by
fears Of more extensive trouble in
China.
Election day for national banks re-
suited in but few important changes.
James StilIman retired as a director Of
the Hanover Bank, being succeeded by
William V. s. Thorne: George p. Per-
kins resigned as a director OF the Ma
tional City Bank and was succeeded by
E p. Swenson. Nine new directors were
added to the Liberty Bank board, and
Charles D. Norton was added to the
