Marine-Make Contract with South
ern Pacific for Carrying Freight.

New York, Jan. 2,-Price changes in
the stock market today were unimpor-
tant. as applied to the standard issues.
Except for an erratic price fiuctuation in
United States Industrial Alcohol, trading
was extremely quiet. The total turnover
for the session was the smallest In weeks
and less than 300 900 shares for the short
session. The list closed with gains and
losses about evenly distributed.
Steel common was quiet and moved
within a narrow price range, thus re-
recting less discussion relative to the re-
The future trend OF the standard indus
trials will according to conservative
brokers, depend largely upon action of
the steel directors at their meeting Tues

Coincident with the active speculation
going on about International Mercantile
Marine shares, the writer learned today
that the Japenese have already begun

rine on the high seas. An agreement
has been made between the Southrn IA
cific and an important Japanese steam
ship company for carrying freight handled
BY the Southern Pacific which formerly
vent to the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany The ships OF the latter company
were recently sold because its manage
nent claimed the scamen's act was too
.5nerOus.
Dealings in United States Industrial
Alcohol overshadowed transactions in any
other issue. The speculative appetite for
these shares was whetted by a report

New York, Jan. 22.-In its column de-
voted to consideration of the probable in
crease of the more active stocks, from
an unbiased viewpoint the Odd Lot Re-
view prints the following:
u. s. Steel-when the directors meet
week from Tuesday, we think they will
declare dividend on the common
stock. The chief basis for this belief is,
of course, the highly satisfactory earn
ings now being shown and In prospect.
There may also be some significance In
the recent action of the corporation in
resuming the offering of common stock
to its employees. 1t will be recollected
that last year such subscriptions were
discontinued. Shortly afterward, the
common dividend was passed. Probably
the directors had this action in mind
and did not care to encourage their
employees to buy a stock soon to become
non-dividend payer. II this was their
attitude and still is, the present offer
ing seems clearly to forecast resump-
ton of dividends
Colorado Fuel & Iron-The price is again
reaching level where 1t looks rather
attractive for long time investment. We
were bullish on Colorado Fuel at much
lower prices, but, as was again demon
strated by the telegram of John ID.
Rockefeller to the labor leader, all talk
of consolidation with other companies
was sheer bunk. Earnings are now
running larger than In five years.

Mexico have depressed this stock but
little, they have had the effect of halt
