Market Sluggish In
Wall Street Today

New York, Jan. 16.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Interest in today's extremely slug
gish stock market was scarcely more
than normal. The bears found scant
opportunity to exert repressive meas
ures to any considerable extent, and
short covering was the rule.
Mr. Wizards resignation from the
chairmanship of the war munitions
board and the creation of war labor
board by the president to control and
coordinate labor supply, were items Of
interest, of course, but they had little
effect on the securities market.
The opening was firm with increas-
ing strength in the first half hour.
There was a setback, only to be fol-
lowed by a. new upturn which con
tinued with but slight modification
well into the afternoon. Transactions
were light throughout the afternoon.
In the afternoon a httlu more anima
ton was displayed.
The steel, copper, tobacco and
equipment issues made good showing
with gans ranging from one to two
points. The list resisted pressure con-
sistently.
Rails were more or less neglected
but in fairly good tone.

" We have taken up the challenge and

cur boundless resources to them who,
heroically striving, have borne the heat
and burden Of dreadfully long and

stronger than any other power ON earth,
