STOCK MARKET

New York, Jan. 3.-Opening.-Fea
of fresh complications arising from
the Sinking of the steamship Persia
impaired a heavy tone to the market
at the opening of the first session of
the new year. In place of the strength
that marked the close of 1915 prices of
active issues fell from 1 to 4 points,
oils, war shares, coppers and rails like
Union Pacific, Reading. New York
Central, st. Paul and Erie sharing in
the decline. United States Steel
changed hands in blocks OF 1000 to
5000 shares, yielding only substantial
Fractions. The market rallied sharply;
however, some losses being fully re-
covered. Anglo French bonds were
firm.
Noon.-The early rally gave way to
another selling movement in which
representative stocks. notably steel,
the Pacidcs, Anaconda Copper and
American Smelling sought lower lev
els than at the opening. This was
followed by another rise in which the
average of recoveries was higher.
Trading on these successive move
ments was extensive, the first hours
turnover totalIing almost 45o, 600
shares. The more stable tone of the
market was ascribed to further ad-
vices from London which put a less
serious phase on the Persia episode.
