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

New York, Jan. 2.-Higher quota
tions, 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 s points,
with irregular declines and greater ad-
vances during the forenoon, seemed to
be. predicted largely on events over the
triple holiday.
p The general tenor Of the foreign war
news was accepted by speculative in
terests as tending to make for an in
definite prolongation of the conflict,
causing extensive covering of leading
munitions and equipments. Stocks of
that group were reinforced by the
strength Of United States Steel and
other seasoned industrial steel, making
an extreme advance of 41rS points to
110 3<8, from which it yielded only a
fraction.
Bethlehem Steel'was the conspicuous
exception in its class losing Is points
on a single sale. Gulf States and No
va Scotia Steels were 10 points high
er at their best, with 2 to for Re-
public Iron and Cruciable, Lackawanna
and Soss Sheffield Steels. Shipping
shares and motors were, most erratic.
Atlantic Gulf and West Indies and
United Fruit gaining four to over eight
points. while mercantile marines were
heavy after brief upward turn. The
usual specialties, namely sugars, leath-
ers, papers, Industrial Alcohol and
such utilities as Ohio Gas and Colum-
bia Gas. were variably better. but fall
ed to enlist any marked interest.
Utah Copper led the metals to high
er levels in the first half of the session,
but that division sagged later, despite
the extra dividend declared on Miami
Copper. Realizing was evident in the
final hour, the lower trend coinciding
with reports of the cancellation of
war orders.
Rails were uneven throughout their
course. being in keeping with the
many statements of November earn
ings, some of which showed decided
losses in net earnings. Total sales
amounted to 950,000 shares.
Weakness in marks featured the
dealings in foreign remittances, the
rate to Vienna declining sympathetic
cally.
International bonds were again ir-
regular, with some improvement in do
mestic investment issues. Total sales
(par value) $47S0,000. United States
bonds unchanged on call.

Horse Market.

Boston, January l. 1911
The horse trade of 1916 opened with an
outlook of repetition of the poor busi-
ness conditions of the previous year.
Dealers were still forced to pay hlgh
nrices on all their western consignments
of green horses, and also were unable to
advance prices here in fair proportion to
srst cost. Gradually. however condi-
tions improved. AS the early spring trade
began. a much stronger tone was feit IN
the market, and dealers were encouraged
TO buy freely as the demand increased.
At about the same time, prices were also
somewhat easier in the West. which
helped the trade greatly. At first the Inn
proved condition Of the market was Who'll
ly one OF a quicker demand. with no ma
terial change in prices. Later. as the
snrine trade developed into greater ac-
tiv,ty. prices advanced slightly, falling on
naturally during the midsummer dull
ness. and again advancing with the open
ing Of the fall business. which has been
,,,vorou. and profitable. Dealers report
al that there had been sold In Boston
during the year Of 1916. very much iaFe-
or number of horses than in the previous
year.
Turing the first nine months OF the
,ear the best selling horses on the mar
ket were the heavy weight drafters.
prices ranged on horses Of 1s6oa1soo lbs.
weight from ;soo@s75 p head. with extra
,ra;ebts in choice animals selling around
s.oo at times of urgent demand. At pres
ent the demand is slack for THIS class. as
buyers are looking for horses OF more
medium weight. Horses OF l5OOQle0o noe.

ANNUAL LIVESTOCK MARKET REPORT

January q 19l7:-The year just ended
was one OF high average prices for all
classes of stock, but as the dealers were
Obliged to pay much more in the country
it is doubtful of they had any more pro-
fitable year than. usual. while on account
OF the extremely high prices for grain
and other foodstuffs. the raisers of stock
were seriously handicapped, and did lit
tie more than come out sevsn at the high-
er prices. These conditions were due in
large part to the war; directly or indi-
rectly. The unusual demand for grain
for Europe brought higher prices for
feed. while the exports of cattle and
meat reduced the supplies here, and tend
ed to adyance prices. .
The receipts of cattle at the Bost6i,
market were well in excess of the figures
for a915, when they were much reduced
because of the quarantine enforced
against milch cows during the early part
of the year. Receipts of cattle were
31,06S smaller than during 1916 but only
1O,959 below the figure for 1914. Previous
to the latter year the receipts had been
much larger than they have been recent
ly. The demand for beef cattle has been
good during most of the past year. At
the beginRing of the year good quality
steers and oxen were selling at about
7idSsc. and this was about the lowest
range for the year, the market advahc-
ing to about 9a010c about the middle of
the year. from which level there has
been some recession to about siaS1c at
present. Extra fancy steers or oxen
have brought premiums over these quo
tations, but not many such cattle. are
brought ins except at Christmas or on
special order. The good demand for
choice heavy beef cows. noted in 1915, con-
tinued last year. and during most of the
year choice heavy COWS have commanded
as high prices as average steers, sales
having been made at. times as high as
SIC, although the general range has been
about 6!M7ac. Bologna and Gamer cattle
have held steady at about the usual
range, from 3d4ic.
There were no exports of cattle during
the past year. from Boston.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were 1854
smaller than during 1915. There was A
small increase from Massachusetts. and
the receipts from the West were larger,
but from other points shipments fell off.
Considering the very high price of wool,
and the scarcity of that staple, it is sur
rrisng that so many sheep and lambs
were marketed, instead of being held for
their wooh There has besn'no great ad-
vance in prices of sheep and lambs over
the prices for the previous year. At the
beginning of the year sheep were selling
at about 3aq5Ac, and lambs at abou.
