MARKET CLOSING HEAVY;
DAYS 0VERTURN LIGHT
Peace Rumors Again Made Basis Of
a Moderate Professional Sell
ing Movement.
Rails Completely Ignored and Some
Transportation Stocks Are Not
Quoted at All.

NEW YORK, January 27.-Peace
rumors, originating in overnight ad-
vices from abroad, were made the basis
of a moderate professional selling
movement in today's brief session.
Shipping stocks. motors and a variety
of issues more or less remotely re-
sale at extreme declines Of to almost
4 points.
United States Steel also yielded a
point with other prominent industrials
and equipments. Rails were complete
~ ignored, aside from a three-point
advance in Minneapolis and st. Louis.
Some of the prominent transportation
stocks were not quoted at all. Partial
rallies, due to short covering, attended
the later dealings. The closing was
heavy.
Sales were estimated at 100000 shares.
The quiet absorption of Minneapolis
and st. Louis new stock has attracted
a great deal of attention and comment,
Transactions have been rather large
and the stock has advanced steadily,
with a wide variance between the bid
and asked price. 1t is said that impor-
tant Developments. possibly involving a
change of control Of the property, are
impending.
Renewed Pressure Evident.
Early prices in today's market were
lower as a result of renewed pressure
against the shipping group and motors
in which recessions extended from 1
to points.
Other branches of the active list were
similarly affected. Industrial Alcohol.
Central Leather, International Paper
and the leading coppers displaying
marked heaviness.
United States Steel was freely offered
at an extreme decline of almost a point,
and allied industrials lost as much or
more.
The few exceptions to the general
trend were unimportant Secondary
quotations were slightly better.
Bonds were irregular.
Stee1's Uncertain Movements.
The uncertain movements of United
States Steel common the past week
have been due almost wholly to the
conflict of opinion as to the dividend
declaration next Tuesday and the
amount Of net earnings for the quarter.
1t is said the appropriations for better
ments have been very heavy, but that
nevertheless there will be a wide mar
gin between the surplus remaining and
the dividend requirements.
It is generally believed that the total
net earnings for the quarter will be
between s1e5.OOO.OO0 and $112.O00.O00.
and some of the more optimistic stock
holders look for the regular dividend
Of IL per cent and an extra dividend
of 80 per cent. Those who are ex-
pecting an extremely conservative dec
laration predict an extra dividend OF
only Y per cent.
