LEADING ISSUES
SHOW DECLINES
Fractional Losses in Rails

NEW YORK. Jan 1s-Near1y all the
leading issues show declines at the open
ing Of the stock market today with trad
ing again very quiet and dull
California Petroleum was in demand as
the result of pool operations and rose 2
points to 31ss.
The steel shares were in supply, Steel
common falling to S2%. Crucible fell
2% points to 81 and Baldwin yielded q
OF point to 90.
Mexican Petroleum yielded 2K points
to 159A and American Locomotive sold
down IA points to 50.
The copper stocks showed Irregular
changes, Anaconda being down u Of a
point to 80, and Inspiration, 1 point to
34h. while Utah Copper was slightly
higher.
Reading was ex 1 per cent dividend
selling down to S4s, loss of Is Of a
point.
! Fractional losses were suffered in the
majority Of the rails.
Outside OF an advanoe in California
Petroleum there was no special feature in
the trading during the forenoon, but
and prices of the leading issues generally
showed moderate losses.
.Crucible, however, after yielding pa
points to e415, had a quick rally to 81.
CALIFORNIA petroleum was unusually
active and rose "a points to 1895.

Jan. IS
In the earIy trading there was nothing
OF much interest Commission house
business was light. There was some
professional trading covering shorts in
some issues selling in a few others, but
there was nothing in the way Of a gen
eral market tendency.
These shares responded to the pub
lished statement that legislation was
planned that would lncreaEe the revenues
Of these companies and IL is generally
assumed that such proposed legislation
will have better chance of enactment
than Mt the previous legislative session.
Then We have had some activity in
the copper group. which WAS probably n
response to the story Of the local news
bureau that general consolidation is
In contemplation.
This, however, Is something that Is
remote at the present time. OF far
greater Importance is the fact that the
supply OF copper is gradually diminish
ing, and with curtailed production the
metal will soon be in a stronger techni
cal position
There was, however, nothing during
the day TO Indicate any general revival
in public interest. There is likely to be
a Quieter market f1r q few weeks, during
which time occasional activities IN
specialties may be expected.
