MARKET REACTS
ON WAR RUMORS
Professional Traders Take
Advantage of Austro-
American Situation.
PRICESSAG AT THE CLOSE
Weakness Not Surprising. Brokers
Say. Because of Large Blocks
Recently Offered.

New York. Jan. L-The stock market
developed a reactionary tone late today
on account of the increased gravity with
which the Austro-American situation Is
being viewed Professional traders took
advantage Of this uneasiness, and their
offerings, together with scattered long
selling. resulted in an Irregular closing.
Brokers, however. reported an absence or
weakness and said the irregularity was
not surprising in view of the large
lamount OF stock which has been thrown
ION the market in the last two sessions.
Strength prevailed at the opening, with
gains running from fraction to a fun
point Rails displayed betteTment, as did
the rubber shares. Copper shares were
led by Smelters and Miami, the dividend
on which latter was increased late the
previous day. The general improvement
was maintained until shortly after mid
day, when the general uncertainty caused
a reaction. Except for a sharp break of
about five points in Mexican Petroleum
the recession was considered orderly.
Railroads In Good Tone.
The better tone exhibited by the rail-
road shares was gratifying to those con-
servative brokers who have steadfastly
been advising their clients to purchase
that group. While railroad earnings now
being reported are showing very large
gains, many brokers expect that the in
crease in revenue to be announced for
December, January and February will
show even greater gains.
\ fair amount of investment buying
representing the reinvestment of Janu'
ary interest and dividends was said to
have occurred in the rail group today
This was said to have been particularly
