MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,
Features OF the Days Dealings r All
the Leading Stocks.

New York Jan. Such animation
as was manifest at times by today's
stock market was mainly in the spe-
clal class of securities. This embraced
Bethlehem Steel, American Can. West
inghouse Electric, International Har-
vester and several of the newly listed
automobile shares.
FaFor!te railway stocks were under
pressure for the greater part Of the
session, likewise United States Steel,
which was again offered for foreign
interests according to gossip. In the
final hour, however the whole lis.
Gus net gains from l to over 3 points.
The short interest in some Of the more
speculative hurTiedly covered their
commitments in many instances at
considerable loss.
BY far the most interesting devel-
opment Of the day was another de-
cline in exchange on London, bringing
the quotations down to 4.S3 IL, the
lowest price since October of 1907, 1T
which time a stock market panic was
prevailing and New York banks had
decided to issue loan certificates. De-
spite this abnormal situation, bankers
today expressed doubt that any of the
gold recently shipped to Ottawa would
be returned in the immediate future.
Apart from technical considerations,
it was agreed that the chief cause Of
the decline lay in the vast improve
ment shown by this country's foreign
trade
Small dealings continued in the Lon
don market, but high grade issues were
steady. Payment of a large install
ment of the new war loan was made
without monetary strain. The Bank
Of England lost slightly more than
100000 gold during the week and its
liability reserves showed some reduc
tons.
The local market for bonds was ir-
regular, with wide fluctuations II
