STOCK MARKET N UNUSUALLY QUIET
 THE ENTIRE WEEK
Railroad Securities Jagged While Some IndustriaIs Were Firm at Higher
 Quotations

New York, January Exchanges in quoted values of important stocks dur ing last weeks dull and circumscribed Operations were mostly nominal. Lead CTS f1uctuated to 3 points and special issues were irregular with a lower range toward the end for shippings, motors and rubbers. Rails Jagged throughout, total dealings in that di- vision being the lightest in many moths. An extra dividend on Norfolk and Western and the heaviness of New Haven were the only features of more than passing interest Local transac- tions, particularly Brooklyn Rapid Transit, were under pressure but oth- CT utilities were mainly higher. Inter est in the stock market centered on what action directors would take on the common stock at the quarterly meeting of the United States Steel cor thought that the extra dividend for the final quarter of 1916 would be moro liberal than the preceding disburse- ments, accompanied by unprecedented earnings.
 Other industrials and metals as group were steady to firm on the bet ter tone of the markets for those prod ucts. Equipments and erstwhile war brides" also changed hands at higher levels.
 The new British loan, to which sub- scriptions are said to be gratifyingly large, an issue of $25,000,000 of Chi cago Milwaukee and St. Paul railway bonds, the bewildering movements of foreign exchange and the congresson- al inquiry into the so-called leak" served to relieve the monotony of the week.
 Declines in British consols to the lowest quotations in more than a cen tury bore pertinently upon Britian's latest international financing. Ameri- can bankers have under consideration large refunding of maturing obliga- tions. of the Argentine government. F9Imness was shown by international bQGds but domestic issues denoted further abstention of investment in- quiry.

DEMAND FOR STEEL
 SHOWS NO LET-UP AVD MILLS RUSHED
Foreign and Domestic Re quirements Are Equally Heavy-Production Is
 Reduced

New York, January 2S.-American steel mills continued to be over whelmed during the last week with inquiries from foreign countries for steel plates, rails, cars, tin plate and war munition material Domestic re- quirements were equally heavy, while the mills have been hampered by rail- road embargoes, floods and lack of raw material. Pittsburg production has been further reduced 10 to 12 per cent by floods. Shipments against con tracts have been smaller while speci- fications against orders are sufficient to keep the mills operating at full ca pacity for six months.
 Entente agents since the first of the year have been able to place large con tracts for shell steel with four or five mills. Actual purchases for 1917 de- livery are estimated at ,000 tons and Canadian inquiries are in the mar ket for approximately 300,000 tons of billets and forgings.
 Although inquiries for 150000 tons of marine and structural plates and shapes are before the mills, orders for only about 2o000 tons have been placed for this years delivery
 Pending equipment contracts are heavy, but more or less difficulty is being experienced in placing orders Car builders have sold 400 cars in the last few days, 2000 of which are for export to France Locomotive builders have taken orders for 50 en- zines, 40 of which are for a French railroad
 A most active demand for fabricated structural steel is somewhat embar- 1ccft, f~ f-I capacity already sold for from six months to year, but contracts have just been closed for about 50,O00 tons. Rail contracts are very heavy. q

COTTON MARKET IS
 MADE STEADY BY
 DEMAND IN SPOTS
Dullness in First Part of the Week Gives Way to Ac- tivity on Bullish
 Statistics
By Hop

New Orleans, January 2S.-After a period of easiness in the early ses- sions. the cotton market here steadied
 up last week on revival in the spot demand Trading broadened and bull ish sentiment was fostered to a con siderable degree. Late in the week
 much interest was taken in the bul1ish l trend of statistics. From level 4e
 to 54 points under the close of the pre- vious week, prices mounted until they ] were 4s to e9 points over. The close
 was net gain of 4s to 62 points. Short selling held the market down around the beginning of the week but the large export movement caused un- easiness among buyers who still had spot requirements to fill and the de-
 mand for actual cotton rapidly in- creased and reacted on the contract market. From the middle of the week
 on considerable strength was shown. The export movement for the week amounted to 164195 bales against 7S,- 901 this week last year, bringing total shipments thus far this season up to s,663,649 bales, or almost a million bales in excess of the movement to foreign ports during the same period last year. Mill takings were moder- ately large, while the movement into sight was small. which resulted in a decrease in the visible supply of ! American cotton of 122,593 bales against decrease this week last year | of 5S.4o6 and a gain this week two years ago of S6S,354. Many bullish l traders thought the most significant point in the statistical position was l the fact that the visible supply of 1 American is down to 4,1s0.0S3 bales against 4,421,736 a year ago and 5,590.- 309 two years ago. Considerable buy ing was predicated on this showing. The trade this coming week will fol- low with the greatest interest the
 turns taken by the demsshd for spots.

JUDGES FOR DISTRICT
Passes House Bill as Amended by
Upper Body-Jurist for Tennes-
see Also Incorporated.

Without dissenting vote, the Senate
today passed the House bill providing
for two additional associate justices of
the District Supreme Court, with the
Senate amendment providing for two
additional associate justices of the
Court of Appeals.
Before the bill was passed. however,
Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee sue
ceeded in having adopted an amend
ment which wouldNprovide for an addi-
tional district judge in Tennessee. SEN
ator Overman. in charge of the Dis
trict judges bill. objected to incor-
porating this ame4.ument, but Senator
Lea threatened to prevent the passage
of the original bill if his amendment
was not adopted.
Il will accept it, them said Senator
'Overman, but with the understanding
that if the House conferees object to
the amendment of the senator from
Tennessee l will move to recede from
it."
Senator Lea said this was satisfac-
tory to him. since he was sure the
House confereeS would agree to the
Tennessee judge. He said that the
House already had passed a bill for
this purpose, and that the additional
district judge was badly needed.
In calling up the District judges BILL
Senator Overman told the Senate that

gessed with business and that it was
