BEE NEWYORK STOCKS AND BONDS Drooping Tone of Wall Street Market Continues Throughout Session. EASTERN GOULD GROUP LOWER | Unlon Pacific and Southern Paecific | Resist Downward Tendency an Re- sult of Monday's Conference at the White House, NEW YORK, Jan. 1L—The drooping | tone of the stock market persisted today. Some of the severest declines were offected on comparatively light sales, In the Wabash-Pittsburg, Wheeling & Lake Erie group the collapse In prices domonstrated a feeling of keen disap- pointment with the reported terms of re- organization and combination of the two properties by exchange of present securities | for ‘new, coupled with cash assessments. It was sald much of the important selling today and for several days past was trace- able to sourees fdentical with the buying orders responsible for the 314-point jump in Rock Island on the Monday after Christ- mas, The evidence of rétirement from the market of large commitments in this con- nection s of additional sentimental effect on the tone by reason of the large share attributed to the same Interests in the general market campalgn for some time | past. The New York call loan market is still reluctant to yield to the effects of the usual factors of relaxatfon after the turn of the year. Deferred requirements of syn- dloates in uhderwriting securities or in financing the needs of oorporations are fiven as explanation for the unseasonable ehavior of the money market. The Introduction in_congress of the bill Intended to embody President Taft's rec- ommendations for changes in interstate commerce law gave material for cogitation gn the part of security holders. The re- ports of a conference at Washington be. tween government offlcials and officials of the Unlon Pacific and Southern Pacific &ave rise to conjectures of a possible com- promise of the government's sult against these companies under the anti-trust law and were the cause of some resistance by these stocks to the prevalling depression Bonds were irregular.

At the me time all other selling points were reporting heavy runs, Chicago especlally having excessive Teceipts for a ‘luesday. This, of itself, would be sufficlent to make a slow, weak market, but, on top of thi was the further fact’ that receipts for some time back have been very liberal and packers with their coolers full of beef were not at all anxious for fresh supplies. Thus buy- ers, not only here but at all other selling points, were in a position to pound the market good and hard and they were not slow about taking advantage of the situa- tion. This would explain the sharp d cline all along the line that took place'in today’s cattle trade. Late tralus added to the delay locally, and the forencon was well advanced be- fore buyers went out Into the yards or made any effort whatever to do busines: When buyers did go out into the yard: prices on killing cattle were 10G16c lowel at the very least d trade was extremely slow and dull cven at the decline. It was ver{ late in the day before anything like o cle ce had been effected. This would apply to beef steers, cows and heifers. Stockers and feeders, while not showing @as much decline as other kinds of eattle, were generally little easier than yester- day, with the trade not so active as it has been of late.

About sixty loads were on ‘hand for the early market out of a poesible full quota of 175 loads. Early bids were mastly & dime lower than yesterday, although about twenty loads changed hands a* figures that were no worse than s@loc lower, | Movement, however, was by no means active at the decline, and it was well along In the morning Lefore enough material had changed hands to afford a broad test df values. As the hogs continued to come in and the volume of business increased, it be- came apparent that packers neceded more hogs than their early attitude indicated, and the market, instead of closing weak at the decline, showea considerable im- provement. In fact, several traders ex- pressed the opinion fhat the midday mar- ket was only a shade worse than yester- day’s general market, as far as prices were concerned. Be that as it may, much {mprovement was evident and the tone o trade much more active.

MATTER IS UP IN CONFERENCE Offiel o Und A s of Road Understpod to Have eed to Dissolve Merger Une @ Conditions Not Glven Out. NEW YORK, Jan. 1lL—A proposition looking to the separation of the Southern Pacific and Unlon Pacific systems s now | under constderation between President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham and officinls of the Harriman rallroads, and following the conference of Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham and Judge Lovett, head of the Harriman system, In Washington, It was said In Wall street today that an announcement of the sottlement was only & question of time The exequtive committees of the Harri- man lines, Including the Union Paciffo company, the Southern Pacific dompany, the Oregon Short Line company and the Oregon Rallway and Navigation company held their regular weekly meetings today. Judge Lovett announced in advance that nothing other than routine business would engage the attention of the committees, Nevertheless it Iy tuken for grafited that the conference at Washington would be very thoroughly disoussed. Judge Lovett declined to talk about yes- terday’'s meeting, but some of his usso- clates intimated that the visit to the na- tional capital had not been barren of re- sults. These results, it was added, were quite satisfactory to the Tailréad interests, although no further detalls were vouch- safed. There is reason to belleve that at yes. terday's meeting proposition was made hav- Ing for its ultimate end the separation of the Unlon Pacific and the Southern Pa- cific roads along the lines lald down by the government in Its sult. This proposition came from the railrosd Interests and, according to Wall street gossip, is likely to be finauty entertained by the government, praviding certain other conditions imposed by the administration are Incorporated theretn. It 15 belleved another visit of the Untén Pacific-Southern Pacific interests in Wash- ington In the near future may be followed by & definite announcement regarding the status of the dissolution suit. Task for Railroad Men, President Taft has glven no intimation as to what his atitude will be and his final determination in the matter, It is stated, will depend largely upon the proposition the rallroads have to make looking toward a compliance with the anti-trust law, Too case will not be dropped, it is sald, excepy upon such terms as will look to a cor- rection of the evils complained of in the government sult, or unless the government can be shown to be completely In error. Yetserday's conference was attended by Judge Robert 8. Lovett, president of the Unfon Pacific and allled Harriman lines; Attorney General Wickersham, Frank B. Kellogg, “trust buster” and special at- torney for the United States in the case against the rallroads; and Former Sena- tor John C. Spooner, and Maxwell Evarts of New York, attorneys for the Harriman lnes. The conference lasted from shortly after 3 o'clock untll 7 p. m, None of the members of the rallroad party would dis- cusy the matter in any way. Attorney General Wickersham has taken no definite position in the matter as yet. He went into the conference yesterday open minded, for up fo this' time he has not been called upon to deal with the suit in any way. No time was fixed for a resump- tion of the conference, but it probably will be within a few days. History of Suit. suit against the Harriman lines, which consist in chief of the Union Pa- cltic, the Southern Paelfio, the Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Raflroad ahd Navigation company, was begun following an inquiry before the Interstate Commerce commission. It was during these hearings that the enormous stockholdings of the Harrlman lines in other rallroads first came to general public attention. Mr. Har- riman himself appeared before the com- mission and was on the witness stand for several days. Mr. Harriman, it will bo remembered, declined o answer a number of questions put to him and the matter had to be' tuken to the United Statgs clreuit court for determination.
