LONDON QUIETLY STEADY.
French Loan Features the Trading
Business in. Americans Is Small

LONDON, January 25-The stock
market was quietly steady today. The
French loan was active in the gilt
edged section, but rubber shares were
inclined to react and there was little
movement in other directions. The
treasury department reduced the buy-
ing prices Of American rails owing to
the labor situation in the United
States, and business in the American
section was small. while the tone was
dull and weak. =
The combined effect of large applica-
tons for treasury and excheQuer bonds
and delay of overseas mails reduced the
supplies of money and discount ratas
hardened to 5A per cent.
American exchange declined to 4.76X
for cable transfers.

ALL EYES ON MEETING
OF STEEL DIRECTORS
specia, Dispa Itch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 25.-Directors
of the United States Steel Corporation
will meet Immediately after the ad-
journment Of the stock exchange today.
All Wall street is vitality interested in
the probability of a declaration of a
dividend on the common stock.
Up to few days ago it was expected
that the directors would make no dis
tribution at this time, but sentiment
has changed greatly and largely be-
cause of the unexpected return of
Henry c. Frick from Palm Beach.
1t is generally believed that Mr.. Prick
desires a distribution on the common
stock and has returned to make a fight
for it.
The last dividend on Steel common
was for the September quarter of 1914.
On the strength of the advent of Mr..
Prick and also J. P. Morgan, the shares
advanced $3.50 a share in the market
today.

WALL STREET WAITS
ON STEEL DIRECTORS
Question of Payment of Dividend on
Common Shares to Be Settled
This Afternoon.
Some Sharp Advances and Declines
in Values, But the Market
Lacks Definite Trend.

NEW YORK, January 25.-As a whole
the market was slow and failed to at
tract traders.
The one subject of conversation CEN
tered on the probabilities Of dividend
on Steel common as result of the
meeting of the directors to be held this
afternoon.
With the tap Of the opening bell Steel
common advanced on the sale Of a
block of 1000 shares at "a to Sass, as
against say. the final figure of Mon
day. The buying was aggressive, and
the advance was continued to SIS.
]. P. Morgan and Henry c. Frick.
Steel corporations directors, returned
to New York city this morning.
Mr.. Frick is known as an advocate
of dividends on the common stock
He left but a week ago for Palm Beach,
which action was taken to infer that
he was satisfied his fellow directors
were agreed upon dividend distribu-
ton. His return Is. therefore. taken to
mean that he has come back to fight
for the distribution
c. D. Barney & Co. were the big buy
ers of Steel common at the opening,
which some operators considered sig
nif1cant and perhaps the execution of
Frick orders.
Strong Spots in the List.
Strong spots throughout the stock
list generally were Beet Sugar. nearly
2 points higher: Locomotive, a point
better; Anaconda, u point. and Smelter,
q higher.
Crucible Steel. Maxwell Motors, Cali
fornia Oil. Westinghouse and Chesa-
peake and Ohio all gained about a
point, but these advances were scored
on very light trading.
The rails generally were decidedly
slow and generally held about on
level with the final figures of Monday.
Industrial Alcohol was weak and lost
more than a point
Baldwin Locomotive was both high
er and lower and then barely held its
own
Mexican Petroleum moved UP to 107, as
compared with a closing at 106k yes
terday. and then sold to 1919. recov-
erlnS TO 1O6. Tennessee Coal lost a
point.
Steel Maintains It's Gain.
After the noon hour the market moved
even more slowly than it did in the
morning hours. Steel common main
tanned its gain better than almost any
other industrial, and the feeling that
distribution would be made was more
general.
Mexican Petroleum dropped back to
l09 4. Baldwin Locomotive managed to
hold its own, recovering its loss sus-
tanned earlier in the session.
Other industrials moved slowly and
without material change.
The excellent earnings Of the Union
Pacific system for December and the
first six months of the fiscal year, pub
Hshed elsewhere, had no effect on the
market for the shares, which were a
small fraction better than on Monday,
Slight Gains at Closing.
In the final hour OF the session, a
number of minor industrials made
slight gains, while Steel remained
around s4% and the rails barely held
their own.
Industrial Alcohol made the most rad
ical change when it dropped from 159,
to which price it has recovered from
l51ls to 15S. net loss Of AZ points.
