WHOLE LIST WEEK. Due to Collapse of Consolidated Gas— Money Market Rapidly Growing Eas- for New York, Jan. 5.—The professional | view of the weakness which developed | in the stock market taday was that it wag largely due to the etic ef- fect of the collapse nsolidated Gas, which proceeded tod; only less violently than yesterday. The period of greatest weakness in msolidated Ges today, however, was while the general list was making a sturdy stand against the reaction and was showing a degree of postive strength in some quarters. The action of the market | warranted the implication that support was in the interest of facili- tating a process of liquidation and the pursuit of this purpose had the later effect of weakening the whole list. The unexpected adverse decision th Consolidated Gas sult vesterday un- doubtedly took the interests mo: largely committed to the long side of the market, unawares and interfered with their plans. Evidence more or less reliable, especially that growing | out of the movement of the market | itself, has kept clear the fact that ef- | fective support for prices has been of- | fered for months past in connection | with the accumulation of securities | that %0ing on. The-consensus of opinion has been strong that the peri- od of renewed ease in the money mar- | ket after the turn of the year would facilitate a revival of speculafive ac- | tivity and ,conduce to still higher | prices for stocks. The money market | is rapldly growing easier, but o many speculative’ holdings of stocks appar- ently have been waiting for this op- | portunity to realize profits that the | selling outweighs the demand. effective selling was withheld for a time early today while measures were taken to mgady the markef but its r newal after the steadying of prices had been attained had a strong influence on speculative sentiment and disco | hopes of present efficient leadership of a campaign for further advance. The Consolidated Gas decision undoubted- ly has had a bad effect on the specula- tive confidence engendered by the as- sufiption that government activities were to move in further in favor of th, corporations. The refusal of the su preme court to entertain the gov ment's appeal to reopen the Oil fine decision w industr | to offset the effect of the gas| | it its effect was marred by t ment of the attorney gene at the case would bé retried. £ the day's liquidation was at- ited to holders of Consolidated | Gas 0 were unwilling to sell it and ha® to finG resources to protect it: American Smelting, almost alone of general list, showed any strength ance in the price of copper some responsibility for this, W irregular.

Tell them to use it according to directions, and they will still be able to do washing, because the Fels-Naptha way banishes all the back breaking and hard rubbing of wash day; and cuts washday work in half.” Why do so many worien who do their own work grow old before their time? The weekly washing, they will tell you, is responsible for their breaking down. And they tell the absolute truth if they wash in the old-fashioned way. Continual rubbing on the washboard is so bad on the back. And standing over steaming suds paves the way for colds. But the Fels-Naptha way is just as different from the old way of washing as Fels-Naptha is different from all other soaps. Only cool or lukewarm water needed, in winter or summer, and very little rubbing required. In a nutshell Fels-Naptha doc§ most of the work itself without humag assistance. In using Fels-Naptha, follow the easy directions printed on the red ficj green wrapper. e Economy Demands E that you buy your PLUMBING or HEATING supplies of us.
