Wall Street Was In Sluggish Mood
 At Opening Session of New Week
By JOHN c. MOSES

Practically at a standstil. This de- scribes the stock market at the week g opening session. Bad weather conditions all over the country had great deal to do with trading. Orders of the interstate commerce commission to show financial needs of all rail lines was expected, but caused reaction. Small dealings were re- corded in industrlals until the late hour, when steels, coppers and shippings went to rally. United tSates Steel went up points from its lowest. closing at s43sc. Bonds were weak at decline.
 Cotton was cratic but firm yesterday, closing at an advance of IS to 80 points.

Liverpool bu! 1rs were again in evidence as were trade interests. Some early re- actions occurred. when trade buyers got busy, firming up the market again. Car olina mills. which closed last week on account of fuel shortage. started up again yesterday. Spot figures remain stationary.
 Stormy weather. which affected rail traffic, caused the grain pit to stiffen on ooutations. Corn and oats both gained slightly. Bulls were handicapped by food administration views on a maximum price limit on future deliveries Hog shipments were small and provisions went up 15c to 42c

RECORD MAKING FIGURES

The mind cannot conceive the magni- tude of the figures which tell of the ex- changes and balances made in the New York Clearing House association for 1917 or, for that matter. the magnitude of the clearings in Chicago. Philadelphia, Bal timore and other large financial centers. It Is only by some comparison that a vague understanding of these figures can be gained The government author ities at Washington estimated that within the first F months of the war the United States would be compelled to raise and pay out $19,0o0, ,0o0,0o But that sum is only $5,000, 100000 more than in the New York clearing house ex- changes were perfected. The total ex- changes aggregated nearly $17S.000. 900. and it required only $14.000 100000 in cash to complete these exchanges by settle
 ment through balances. The magnitude of our world trade and the inconceivably great increase in our domestic industry
 and commerce and barter are suggested | by these figures. Of themselves they | furnish ample evidence that the United States is strong enough financially to ! maintain whatever material strength may be necessary in order to secure ultimate victory over the armies of Ger
 many and Austria. Then again the esti- | mate now made by tho Washington au- | thorities agrees with statement re- ported in this column few days ago l respecting the aggregate amount of our l foreign trade in December. The depart ment of commerce fixes the money value of our international trade for the call
 endar year at $9.000. .000000 or almost ex- actly one-half of the amount which Secretary McAdoo estimated would be necessary for the United States to raise and expend In the first F months of 1 our participation in the war. No other l figures that tell the story of worlds i, trade not even those of Great Britain, compare in magnitude with the money value of our trade in 1917. The bureau l of commerce estimates that the trade balance in favor of the United States in I 1917 is considerably in excess of $3,000000, - 1 0O0 for our exports were of the money
 value of SC. 6.00O.000,O 900 and our imports of | the money value of a little under $3.000.- | 900 600. And this balance. unlike those
 of the years before the war, Is all to the good.

Over W. E. CampbelTs Wire

New Orleans, January 1-(Special) Steadiness prevailed in cotton today, al- though there Is no denying that the mar ket had a pronounced holiday feeling, and that there was no aggressive trad ing from any quarter. Tomorrow is a holiday in this market. although New York will be open as usual The first tf:,ns Wednesday morning the census bu- reau will put out Its report on ginning to the end of December. This event naturally led to evening up on both sides today The opening was at an advance and the market remained at the advance through the day. although there were re- sessions which once or twice carried 1t close to tho close of Saturday. At the highest the trading months were 9 to 2i points over Saturdays final figures. The firmness of spots continued to be a supporting influence of importance and a bullish construction was placed on the speech of Lloyd George defending the war aims of entente allies. In ad- dition, expectations were that the pend- ing ginning returns would be bullish. It was reported that the national gin- ners was out with a forecast showing 252.Oo bales ginned this last period against 100000 this period last year and 330.000 this period two years ago. We see nothing in the situation to cause lower prices. As long as the spot de- mand continues good we look for an ad- vancing market. and believe in buy ing on all breaks.--Shepard & Gluck.

Over s. R. Stewards Wire

New Orleans, January T.-(Specialo
 While rainfall was general over the central and eastern states, Texas got
 very little. and the map this morning
 showed fair freezing to the coast.
 There seems no relief in sight from the
 severe weather conditions in the middle and northern sections of the country which, according to current trade and
 mill reports, are the cause for check to
 trade and output by the mills, and
 which is the principal bear argument in the contract markets. Indications are for increasing oloudness in the western states: clearing, continued cold, in cen
 tral and eastern cotton belt.
 Foreign news over Sunday shows no change in the situation. Washington press reports say there will be no more shipments of raw cotton to Russia with out special license, according to a ruling Friday of the war trade board. New York says that a number of Dutch steamers, which have been held at va
 rious ports by embargo conditions for
 months, may be used within short time to get cotton from South Atlantic and Gulf ports to New England manufac- turing ports. This, of course, Is bullish news for the market. as It will tend to | keep the activity of our mills up to full l capacity.
 ] There will be no contract trading here i tomorrow: local holiday.
 l While there was not much done in
 spots since Saturdays close, early re- ports from the spot market this morn ' ing said that some cotton was sold at SIC basis middling. which is F points over quotations.
 1 An irregular opening of the contract
 market was followed by a decline of Il
 points and the market experienced sew eral quick changes within range oi

REMEMBERS EARLY PLAN

The experience of the past 10 days is
 likely to hasten the adoption of a plan
 by which great tunnel under the Hud-
 son of capacity sufficient to carry traf- fic by wagon. carts or other vehicles will be in few years constructed. Were
 there such a tunnel now, New York and
 New England would have been spared
 some part at least of their anxiety and
 suffering caused by the shortage of coal
 and the severity of the weather. One of
 the first things Mir. McAdoo did when he assumed supreme control under the | President of the federalized American railroads, was to advise and then or
 der the utilization of the tunnels un-
 der the Hudson which the late A. J. Cassatt built for the Pennsylvania rail-
 road for passenger service alone. It was not new proposition for MT McAdoo. He must have recalled the days when he. too. contemplated the construction of
 tunnel suitable for freight traffic be- tween New York and Jersey City. By his authority. instantly exerted, and
 with the adequate support of the rail- way managers the Pennsylvania, tubes under the Hudson were utilizedf as soon
 as possible and the strange spectacle of
 many carloads of freight passing under the Hudson through the passenger serv- ice tubes thence by the tunnel under Manhattan and the East river to Brook lyn and from that point over the new Hellgate bridge to the New Haven rail-
 road yards has served to impress the
 people with the fact that great ability, great energy and fairly reasonable, all | though therefore unused, resources could, in cooperation, relieve the most
 dangerous situation New York city and New England have ever found them
 selvel in. There has been coal in com parative plenty upon the Jersey front of 1 New York harbor but the facilities for lt tranSn0rtinU | to New York and New England have been so poor that but little of 1t could
 be availed of until the tubes were uti. | Iized
