CLOSING IS HEAVY,
TRADING MODERATE
important Shares Lose a Point
or More-SpeciaIties
Also Affected.

NEW YORK, February 13.- The
heaviness of today's stock market was
attributed to latest international de-
velopments Traders sold moderately
at the outset and pursued this course
to the end.
Important shares lost point or more
United States Steel yielding in the
later dealings. specialties also were
affected to a similar degree.
New Haven fell points. reaching
again it's minimum of 40.
Striking exceptions to the general
tendency were the various stock and
bond issues of the Minneapolis and st.
made sensational gains on renewed
rumors of buying by Canadian Pacific
interests.
The closing was heavy.
Bonds were irregular.
Uneven Tone at Outset.
Stocks showed an uneven tone at the
outset of todays short session, United
States Steel and Amalgamated Copper
making small gains, while other leaders,
including the transcontinental group
Reading, Baltimore and Ohio and New
York Central. inclined to lower level
Republic Steel fell over a point. and
other industrials, like American Can and
Central Leather. were under thursday
closing prices.
Kreske stood out among the special
ties with gain of 2 points.
The list as whole manifested a heavy
tendency before the end of the half hour.
Holiday Interrupts General Rise.
Yesterdays holiday gave pause to a
general rise in stocks, which had Its
inception almost at the outset of the
weeks operations and gathered greater
momentum toward the close OF Thurs
days session. Many developments OF
an encouraging character contributed
to the advance, foremost among these
being the maintenance of the dividends
on Canadian Pacific, Southern Pacific
and American Sugar, concerning which
there had been some apprehension.
To these were added the very excel
lent statement of unfilled tonnage Of
the United States Steel Corporation for
January, showing an increase in excess
of all estimates. and the marked in
crease of production at leading steel
centers.
Industria1s Contributing Factors.
Prices of finished materials in this in
dustry were advanced, with indications
Of further upward revision. That the
copper industry is improving seems to
be borne out in the voluntary advance
of miners wages in the Michigan district
and the restoration of dividends by one
of the conservative companies operating
in that region.
There were other favorable factors, in
cluding the abnormally low rates of ex-
change on London which induced the re-
turn of some Of our gold from Canada
with prospects of a further inflow. Ex-
ports of foodstuffs and other commodi-
ties continue in unprecedented volume,
suggesting a record breaking total for
the current month.
Railroad earnings leave much to be de-
sired, but make fair comparison with the
latter months of 1914. Deferment Of div
idends action on Southern Railway pre-
ferred resulted from unsatisfactory traf-
fc returns,

Several women and a number Of men
were bruised in the crush.
Mounted policemen had to gallop
iato a mob in front of Union hotel
