ROCK ISLAND LEADS DECLINE Absence of Investment Stocks Afte Demand for Dividend Din- Yearly Payments Causes appointment. NEW YORK. Jany 5_-peculative liquida- tion was renewed the stock market to- day with much the same appearance of urgéncy as on the opening day of the new year. There was no 14 per cent money rate today on to account for the wrakness of the stock market and other wominal ex- planations were advanced. Many of th se hore an uppearance of mere surmise, the busiest of which centered about Roek ls- land. The personal phase of the d scuss on was a supplement to the gossip brou ht out by the eccentric bulge of 31% points in the stock followed by a tof relapee; all within the space of fifteen minutes on the day after the Christmas hollday inter- val. Rumors were plentiful re and power ol the Infiucnce to make effective the desired disapproval f the Rock Island market management. The principal selling of the day was at tributed to the retirement of specuiut commitments which had been prompted by this disciplinary movement More substantial grounds for the weak ness of stocks were found In other factors. For one thing, the unexpceted stringency of the money market after the first of vear and the absen of Investment and for stocks growing out of the annual disbursements of profits have provod a_disappointment. One of the d ffleuiti-s tored in holding over through he was the fall in the banking surp us to near the vanishing point in Novembe The wholesale shifting loans then r sorted to In order to avert a defieit (r- volved the assumption of obligations which are belleved to be coming due now. The money market facilitics for meeting these obligations are less than expected liquidation in face of a languid speculative demrand is necessary, The rellef afforded to the loan account of the banks in November was secursd partly, it is believed, by large advances from surplus treasury funds of the great corporations. These had to be reealled in cornection with the enormous annual scte tlements. The course of events at Washe ington divided attention wtih happen ngs within the financial district and were glven their share of responsibility for the action of the market.
