WALL Street Waiting
ON WASHINGTON news
Stock Market Exceptionally Lack
ing in Initiative.
BY sTOXON WALL.

New York. Dec. 3.-Wan Street took
little interest in the stock market
today. The trend Of prices was down
ward in trading that was narrow and
extremely limited in volume. Prac-
tically no outside trading was noticed
and the entire days turnover amount
ed to but $4,000 shares.
The reason for the apathy was ap-
parent. The street was awaiting the
assembling OF the new Congress. the
Presidents message. to be delivered
tomorrow, and word OF some deter
mInation in the freight rate case, ex-
peeted at any time.
Initiative was almost wholly lack
ing. either in buying or selling. Prices
appeared rather to sag than to give
way under pressure. IndustTials made
several han-hearted displays of
strength, but showed net losses at the
closing for the most part. Rails We're
weak. most Of them sustaining losses
of from IA per cent to a full point.
The transportation situation and
how 1t will be handled by Congress
formed the subject of most discussion.
Wall Street financiers freely expressed
belief that there must be legislation
for the effective working Of the pro-
posed pooling OF railroad facilities,
Uncertainty as to how far Congress
may be depended upon to formulate
constructive legislation for the i'm
mediate relief needed had not . little
to do with the hesitancy to make COM
mitments.
Bethlehem Steel stocks showed de-
clines Of 1-2 for the common and
3-S for the B issue at the close. U.
