ALEXANDER G. McADIE, Forecast Official. * % ” 1 EASTERN MARKETS. { New York Stock Market. NEW YVORK, Jan. 8—The stock market wielded this morning to the sympathetic influ- ence of the acute weakness in the United Btates Sieel stocks and fell generally from 1 to 2 points below last might's level for. the principal stocks. After the speculative liquida- Tion in tae United States Steel fsues. had &pent ite force there was an effective rally in the market, led by Union Pacific and the whole of the transcontinental group. The driving tc cover of the considerable short ac- count which was put out yesterday and this morning in the downward course of prices helped or the recovery of the latter part of the day. The closing was very .active and strong. with prices aggressively on the up grade, The steel stocks closed at net losses of % for the common snd preferred. The extreme declines were 23 for the preferred and 1% for t¥: common. Considering the fact t rumors recently in circulation had nlleed%e et earnings of the United. States Steel Cor- or the quarter at as high as .6 and that other rumors had nluted everage inonthly earnings wdz Bglual nigres for the quarter, l.(ll m The trust system ,appears to | GENERAL | | | | ) | Minn & St Louts. naturally a disappointment, especially cs the three months showed successive declines down to the estimate for December of less §8.000,000, "An incrcase of only about & million dollars over the previous quarter was, consid- | ered unsatisfactory, @s that previous guarter included the period of the costly strike and reports of current trade have been enthusiastic for some time past. The enormous absorption of Union Pacific and its aggressive recovery Lo 1043 from the early low level of 101% was effective in dissipating the uneasiness caused by the proceeding against the Northern Securi- ties Company in the United States Supreme Court. Owing to the wide-reaching importance attached to this whole subject, the resilency of ihis group of stocks had a notable sentimental effect on the whole market. There was no news to explain the movement, unless 1t might be due to a report that the Interstate Commerce Commission had adjourned its proposed inquiry into the affairs of the Northern Securities Com- pany until later in the month. The excusc offered by the United States Steel authorities that car shortage and frelght blockades had affected their carnings was taken as renewed confirmation that the railroads had -all the business they could handle, The speculators used this as a favorable argument for the rally in the rafiroads. Somewhat inconsistently last week’s sharp decrease in gross earnings in some of the soft coal carriers was attributed also to car shortage. Rock lsland was strong on the large net earnings for November. The movement in sugar was. characterstic of an annual meeting day. The rise to 1241 was at- tributed to the mppeal by the president of the compans for the abolition of the duty on raw sugar. ~The seeming certainty that no gold will go out this week, and the hope that next week's probable outgo will be offset by receipts of cash from other sources helped on the late | rally. The firmness of Amalgamated Copper and American Smelting was due to reports of 2 heavy export movement of copper. The bond market was somewhat irregular, but responded to the late sxrensm of stocks. Total sales, par value, $3,800,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stocks— Sales. High Low. Close.

Consols relapsed % to 94%; on French and English sales. The imminence of the assembling of Parlia- ment, when a fresh loan is expected, was part- Iy responsible for the weakness of consols.

Judge Kerrigan dismissed the contested election cases of R. W. Roberts and John J. Daughney yesterday for want of prose- cution. The cases were to have been tried yesterday at a special session of the court.. The lawyers for the defeated can- didates asked for a continuance, but this was refused, because section 1121 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that a case ‘set for a special session must be tried on the date set unless affidavits are presented to the court showing cause for a continuance. Judge Kerrigan declared a recess until 2 p. m. to enable the attor- neys to secure the necessary documents. At that hour Attorney Kierce, who repre- sents Roberts and Daughney, announced that owing to thej,absence from town of one of his clients and his failure to find the other he could not furnish the affida- vn|s. Judge Kerrigan then dismissed the suits. The contests of the Supervisors will be heard by Judge Murasky January 10. Wood Is Flying to Jail.

Anderson appeared for examination yesterday morning before United States Court Com- mhflmer Heacock on the charge of pex- the United States Attorney said that l:“.riad not been able to obtain sufficient evidence on which to prosecute. He therefore moved that the cases be dis- missed and it was so ordered.
