NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—The stock market be- came decidedly reactionary to-day. There was the same contest during the morning as there was yesterday between the faction working for ance and the reaction] United States | Steel etocks were etill the rallying point for the bulls and were dealt in to an enormous ex- tent. The rest of the market kept slipping @way, however, and gained momentum on the downward grade. The bulls were alert to avail themselves of every opportunity of creat- ing any sympathetic strength by impressive ad- vances in individual stocks. No such effective factor came to their aid as the unexpected In- crease in the New Jersey dividend yesterday and the market closed active and easy 'at about the lowest of the da: a_ bull demonstration in’ Sugar in the midst of the movement was apparently based on the active agitation in behalf of Cuban reciprocity and | the entry of Cuban sugar free of duty. Amal- gamated Copper was notably firm on the rally in the raw copper market in London. Both of these stocks yielded, however, before the close. There was a rather palpable effort to induce a transfer of speculation into the in- dustrials, while the railroads were sold to take profits. "The United States Steel stocks were made the leaders on the strength of the gen- eral expectaion that a very favorable showing | of earnings would be made at the meeting | | of directors to-day, which was not held, how- ever, until after the market had closed. The extreme advance In the common stock only reached 3, and in the preferred % when they began to suffer, in common with the rest of | from profit-taking sales. mon stock was carried 13 and the preferred a point. With this develop- ment the reactionary tendemcy of the market was practically uncontested. The stocks of the various express companies made notable ad- vances, reaching 10 points in American Ex- | press and 15 in United States Express, with no other cause than the recent extra dividend disbursements and very large business. The inclination to sell ‘stocks seemed to be based upon general considerations of distrust of the money outlook and of the present high level of prices. Confidence in an early abundance of mopey is becoming impaired with the con- Victioh that considerabie old will £o ont soon to help the foreign markets in prepmration for the flotation of the expected mew British war The com- under last night | loan and a’ large Russian loan which is im- minent in Paris. The retirement of circulation by the national banks attracts the attention. The continuing problem of the Government's surplus is seen to have growing importance with the diminution of the available supply of Government bonds for redemption, and the financial world looks with some interest to the nauguration of the new treasury administra. m in this connection. The activity of in- terior trade may also delay the usual reflux of funds. There was frank discussion of the ‘unem reports of loans by New York banks on Crude Rubber securities. oubles of industrial combinations recently isclosed helped to repress the speculation, and especially to discourage the efforts to lead it into that class of securities.
