STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, January 27.-The ffnan- cial community continued last week to adjust itself to the stringent con fuel regulations and the stock ex change decided to suspend business for the remaining heatless Mondays. Other important market factors were the speech of the German chancellor in respect to peace terms and foreign news suggested divergency in the peace views of the Austrian and Ger man governments.
 Considerable attention was devoted to the railroad bill urged upon Con- gress by the Secretary of the Treas ury as a preliminary to the Notation of $1O.0O0, 100000 loan before the end of the fiscal year. Tn detail the pro- posed legislation seems far more ad- vantageous to the railroads than the original outline indicated.
 Opposition to government ownership of the transportation companies as voiced by Secretary McAdoo and the need of establishing $500,000,000 fund to provide working capital, imparted new and more favorable aspects to the railroad situation, strengthening those securities.
 Little improvement was reported in the lnuuStrldl SltudtloH, Iuel anu id- bor shortage again proving the chief handicaps. Output of finished products during the week was at greatly re- duced capacity but the railroad block- ade was in a measure relieved
 Keen interest was manifested in next Tuesdays meeting of the United States Steel directors. Action on the com mon dividend for the last quarter of 1917 will then be taken and earnings for that period rounding out the year will be published.

Market ReUiew
METAL

New York, January 27.-Regulations imposed by the fuel administration, railroad embargoes and weather which hampered transportation were respon- sible for a further curtailment of steel production during the past week.
 Government requirements continue to- absorb almost the entire produc- tion of mills and fabricating shops
 Lack of coke during all or a part of the week at nearly half of the fur naces in the country has made acute the scarcity of pig iron. Regular con tract deliveries are from two to six weeks in arrears.
 Some heavy business followed an- nouncement that the 23 1z cent price for copper had been extended to next June and producers are reluctant to accept further orders.
 Transportation difficulties have made lead scarce on spot.
 Last Wednesday all tin in New York warehouses was communicated by the emergency fleet corporation for use by manufacturers having government work on hand. There has been no spot tin for sale for sometime

COTTON

New Orleans, January 27.-selling pressure was more or less evident In cotton here throughout last week, the Ugh prices being made on the open ing session and the low prices on the closing. At the lowest levels the trad ing months showed net losses of 100 to 113 points. the close was SS to 102 points under the preceding weeks finals.
 Fear of price fixing legislation, the freight and fuel situation and the more bearing showing of statistics were the main bearish influences of the week. Holding the tone fairly steady was the peace talk in Europe and with the market also were the smaller tonnage losses through sub marines. The ginning report issued Wednesday, showing an output to the middle of January of 10,569,475 bales was accepted as bullish and as con firming short crop estimates.
 This week the market will open Tuesday, owing to the observance of the fuel holiday Monday. The freight situation will be carefully analysed and may be the leading feature of the opening unless new developments transpire in Washington in connection with measures now before Congress. Political news of importance may cas- fly cause fluctuations. The spot de- partment was very quiet last week and most traders appeared to think on the weekend that the quiet would extend into the near future for the reason that buyers of spots were un- able to move their purchases, owing to the difficulties of transportation. Should there be any improvement in the spot inquiry. it might easily be- come the dominating influence for the whole market.
