 d Covering of Muni- tions and Equipments

New York, January 2.--Higher quo tations, some of which were later sub- ject to variable and confusing changes, ushered in the new year in the stock market Opening gains of to 5 points, with irregular declines and greater advances during the forenoon, seemed to be predicated largely on events over the triple holiday. The general tenor of the foreign war news was accepted by speculative in- terests as tending to make for an fn- definite prolongation of the conflict causing extensive covering of leading munitions and equipments. Stocks of that group were reinforced by the 4 strength of United States Steel and & other seasoned industrials, Steel mak ing an extreme advance of 4is points to 11oss, and from it yielded only a fraction.
 Bethlehem Steel was the conspicuous exception in it's class, losing IS points or q single sale. Gulf States and Nova Scotia Steels were 10 points higher at their best with to for Republic Iron and Grucible. Lackawanna and Sloss Sheffield Steels

E. E. Hutton's Stock Letter

Furnished by c. F.. Avery's private wire.
 New York January 2.-Except for the renewal of the ''U-boat" scare, the mar ket has been rather featureless. The big break that preceded the New Year has shaken confidence. especially the confi- dence of those who got in at the extreme high prices in stocks which had already advanced beyond their intrinsic value, The political news and the fear that this country may finally become embroiled have also disturbed the holders of secu- rites. Notwithstanding this. the market is on a better basis than for sometime. They are not as small as fhey used to be. but they cannot be in that. shape while business continues on large scale. prices are down to . reasonably safe basis and money is getting easy again.

Spot Cotton

Under present conditions large gold inn ports must continue and with the gen. eral slackening down of business which we are getting, money will accumulate. The first effect of this is. investment buy ing and the next is speculation, we said this two years ago and also year ago. and if conditions remain in statu quo, we will not see it again this year. Insiders in industrial companies that are making money are picking up the stocks.
 Some of these are selling on basis which would justify higher prices even after the war is over. Railroads are neglected and heavy. A stock market acting like this always creates a short interest and is usually the leever that causes good advance
