On Hie absence el telling pressure the stock market opened strotnr. today, nntl, with the ex ception of n few minutes In the llist hour, when a fractional reaction occurred, tile strength was maintained to tho close. There was a fulr demand for stocks from room traders, and there wnn also some J demand from investors, and large In- estors secmcu io ue iiuumi; io inoir lines. Interest was diverted from United 'Kinteo Hteel common, which hntl been :'tlic feature In thu dally trading since tho dlvldeml was pnHsed. The Bales of jhe stock wcto tho innallc.il In many a day. ffl shares changing hands In tho two-hour session at tho minimum pilco of 40. After tho rloso of tho stock maikct It was unnouncod that the minimum price on United Stntcs Steel common had hecii further reduced to 3S. This Is tho third reduction this week, following tho pass ing of tho dividend by tho directors ot the corporation. Tho now minimum prlco which Is effec tive on Mondny represents a drop of 10 points since adverse action was tuk'ii on tho dividend. As thcro are 5,500.000 shaies of the romuion stock outstanding, with a '.par value ot $100 per share, tho maikct Value of tho stock has thus declined :0, vW.OOO In four days. Most of the attention was devoted to United States Steel preferred, which stub bornly resisted efforts mado two days ago to force It to tho minimum price ot 102, although It declined to 10215. It closed yesterday at 103H. and after opening tales today at 103?i rose to 105, closlnc: at 101J4. Tht borrowliiB demand for United States Steel preferred Is extremely largo, and It has loaned Hat for several days. Tho hears, however, wcro conllilcnt that liquidation could easily bo forced because of the deficit In earnings shown in the ttatcment Issued after tho close on Tues day, but their confidence seems to ha-? been misplaced. New Haven was hard to buy, although It sold nt tho opening at the minimum prlco of W. Thero wcro no outsldo sell ing orders in Right, and n moderate de mand was sufficient to cause an advance to 054 before tho close. On the Now street Curb United Stntcs Steel Common wna quoted at 33 bid In the lato forenoon. Scars Uoebuck & Co. made n gain ot 3V4 to 195T4, with the buying based on re ports that an extra or Increased distri bution would be mado by tho directors at the meeting called for today. Mexican relroleum was again In demand, advanc ing Is to 7.1. it 'ine actual bank statement showed a ? surplus rescrvo ot $I1I,25D,030, an Increuso of Jl.237,140.

March ! was nrrniiitcd for the special stockholders' incctmx to volo oil liquida tion. It Is understood that tho price to bo paid for the stock is noimnvhere around 30. Insurance Company of North America n about the only active feature, the Itiotntlon advancing a fraction. Ilond dealings wore light. Helmed appreciation of tho declaration of the regular dividend on Lehigh Navi gation lifted tho prlco n fraction, on tho other hand, tho sale of 100 Ilaldwln pio fcrred cost tho stock Hi nnd United ClaH lost half a point. Tho closo was dull anil steady. A decided Increase In tho cilumc of tinnsnotlons in both stocks nnd bonds was shoivn in tills city for t'no first month of the new year, ns compured with !o ccmber. In November, of course, deal ings wcro only nominal nnd tho oxchnngo was closed during the throe- previous months. In July tho ttndlng was on n ntoio normal basis. Sales of stocks this month amounted to about 130.000 shares, ns agnlnst 106,703 In December nnd 257,400 In July. Uond transactions showed even greater expansion, tho total for Jan uary being $1,003,000, compared with 7118,300 In December and $l,2"S,60O In July. It can bo seen by thexe figures that busi ness In tho Iluanclal district has been rapidly growing normal and the general consensus of opinion Is that as soon ns all minimum limits arc removed trading will expand still further. Tho formation of a new and olllclal protective committee to represent pro fen cd stockholders of tho United Trac tion Company of Pittsburgh. which Jointly with the Pittsburgh Itallwnys Company Is a subsidiary of the Philadelphia Com pany, follows tho failure of tho fulled Traction Company directors to declnro tho Homl-annunl dividend of 2' per cent, on tho $3.0OT.0iiO preferred stock due this month. Following an announcement by the company that It probably would not declnro tho dividend, a preliminary eom mlttoe was formed In this city, and It submitted a proposition to the United Traction directors. Since then It Is paid by the committee members that tho direc tors took no action In cither declaring tho dividend or formally announcing it passed.

Though n formal offer has not been mado for the atock of tho International StnoltelesB Powder and Chomlcnl Company by tho D11 I'ont concern, It is stated on good authority that tho prlco will be around 30, which Is considered an excellent offer hy thoso who control tho company. There aro 180,000 shares of stock of 11 par vnluo of ?W a share, which would make 11 totul of tD.OCO.OGO, but the stock Iiiih not sold for par. Thcro hnvo been rumors nhotit that IS wna the price to be paid for tho stock, but one of the Du I'ont'olllcluls de clares unit the pi Ice which would be paid would ho around 30. Accotdlns to those interested, the com pany, which ha n plnnt nt I'arlln, N.

It will bo for tho stockholders to decide, of course, whether or not to ac cept tho offer. Ariked concerning the reason for the liquidation, John J. Itaskob, treasurer of the Du I'ont Powder Compony, who Is thoroughly familiar with the negotiations which have been carried on, said that tho directors had received an offer which they considered advantageous and which was satisfactory to them, and thay had there fore decided to call a meeting of the stockholders for the purpose of consider ing tho matter, and added that almost every concern bad a prlco at which It would sell if that price was offered. The Du I'ont Powder Company Is now busy with all of Its mills running full tlmo making powder and the plant of the other company could be used to consider able advantage. How many contracts the company has on hand no one except tho official) of the company know and they will not discuss the subject, but It Is known that It Is making immense quanti ties of powder at high prices. As far as local people know, the whole situation, so far aa the International Smokeless Im concerned. Is that the Du 'out Company wants It and le willing to pay the price.
