FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS BROAD

New York. Jan. 21.-The conspicu-
GUS feature Of today's broad stock
market was the determined and partly
successful effort of bear traders to eX-
tend their advantage of recent days,
in which they were aided by the pessi-
mistic views attributed to industri-
al leaders and railroad executives.
L. S. Steel was the pivot around
which the market involved and it is

In view of trade conditions, consid-
cradle conjecture exists regarding the
attitude of the steel board toward fu
ture disembursements on the junior
shares. This uncertainty is having an
adverse effect upon other stocks, in
Guiding rails and coppers.
During its further decline of the
morning, when the whole market was
in a state of depression, L. S. Steel
fell to a new low price, but rallied
briskly in the afternoon, making a net
gain of a large fraction.
Some twenty prominent rails suf-
fered in the early reversal, represent
alive issues reacting one to two points
and secondary shares one to four.
High grade rails rallied substantially
later, but st. Pauls, Baltimore and
Ohio, New York Centrals' and New
Haven developed fresh weakness to-
wards the end, Studebaker also break
ing sharply.
Oils, shippings and sundry special
ties comprised the other heavy is
issues at extreme losses of . to s
points, but these were recovered in
part. Sales amounted to 10000
shares.
Bonds moved with the stock list,
speculative issues recording addition
al lose of one to / IL per cont. Lii
