NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
-. the Leading Stocks

New York, Jan. 4.-Rumors and re-
ports dealing with the peace situation
were credited with causing a reversal
in the stock market today which car
ried prices down 3 to 6 points. Board
room gossip revived reports of fresh
complications between the United States
and Germany which adversely affected
the so-called peace stocks while dis
patches from Washington forecasting a
new move by this government toward
peace appeared to have a similar effect
on the war issues. These and other
developments created confusion. cross
currents in the movement of prices al
though it was apparent that profession
al traders were in control.
Unsettlement began soon after the
firm opening, incorrect advices from
Washington giving rise to the impress
sion that the federal reserve board has
issued another and more emphatic warn
ing against American participation in
short term loans of foreign origin. Los
ses were generally extended during the
intermediate period and gained in the
final hour. Intermittent rallies of l or
points were more than balanced by
increased heaviness in United States
Steel and allied industrials as we'll as
other potential issues, including copper,
the latter being under especial pressure
nj consequence of further price conces-
sions for the refined metal Marines
were almost the sole exception to the
downward trend making substantial re-
coveries from mid day depression.
Rails were today more than ordinar-
lily responsive to the bearish attitude of
the trading element. standard issues
losing l to points with l-2 for Ca
madam Pacific. The southern division
was firmest of that group.
Munitions and equipments, leather
and sugar shares. motors and their ac-
cessories, some of which opened with
material improvement, ended at net los
ses of variable proportions United
States Steel again contributed about 33
final loss Of 3 points. Total sales
amounted to 1.425.OoO shares.
Monetary conditions had no bearing
upon the course of the stock market
call money retain its recent ease
slight hardening of sterling and a
shading of marks and rubles were the
only feature of the foreign exchange
market.
Bonds were irregular with further
concessions in local fractions. Total
sales (Par valued aggregated S5,470, 600.
