Market Closes With Firm
Tone, With Price Changes
Narrow.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

ASSOClaIeQ HIeSb Financial E1ltOr.
NEW YORK, January l4.-The stock
market easily absorbed week end profit
taking in today's short session, and
closed with steady tone.
Leaders yielded from fractions to a
point for time, but the list stiffened
in the late dealings, Influenced in part
by buying of the tobaccos. The close
found most changes narrow, but few
issues were up or down as much as
point. The turnover was only about
$4,000 shares.
Proctor & Gamble reduced the quar-
terly dividend to 3712 cents, from SO
cents, and that issue lost about point.
The dividend action, however, had been
in part anticipated by the sag in that
issue earlier in the week.
Continental Can, which has recently
appeared to reflect considerable profess
Sional bullish activity, lost about a
point, as did Chrysler and Borden.
Eastman was a firm spot, up about a
point, along with the tobaccos, notably
American B, Liggett & Myers B, and
Reynolds B. American Telephone and
United States Steel were Off substan-
tial fractions for q time. but were OFF
only Il in the final dealings. Rails
were about steady at the close.
Business news at the end CT the week
vas in the main scarcely of character
to influence the list appreciably. The
weekly car loadings figures were again
distorted by the holiday. The total of
'435.652 cars reported for the week
ended January T. however, which in
cluded the New Year holiday, showed
@ gain of 28,873 over the previous week.
which included Christmas. A seasonal
pickup in the first week of January is
expected.
While textile activity, one of the in
dustrial bright spots during the Au-
tumn, has slackened somewhat, the De-
cember cotton consumption report COM
pared favorably with last year. Lint
cotton consumed in United States mills
amounted to 440,062 bales, compared
with 415,40l in December of 1881. In
November. last, however, the total was
603, 1872 bales.
: In the commodity markets, wheat
held up well during the hours of stock
Trading, despite sag at Liverpool. Cot
ton moved narrowly, closing very steady
Unchanged to 10 cents a bale higher.
Changes in foreign exchanges wsre
likewise narrow. The French franc
rallied a shade, while most currencies
were virtually unchanged.
