NEW YOltK. Jan. 6.
During Iho greater part of the. day the stock market showed a wavering
tendency, -with the speculative element almost wholly committed to the bear side.
Both Uptown operators and room traders made frequent efforts to depress prices
and force public liquidation. .
The noto of warning In the Gary Interview, published this morning, was used
as. an Incentive for most of these nttacka, and ns little reslstanco was encountered
no iroumo was experienced In establishing' mnny Issues at a lower range. United
States Bteelcommon showed moderate strength at tho start, with nn advance of
to 87U, but tho demand, which enme almost wholly from overnight accumu
lation, was quickly supplied, and In the afternoon the price yielded to a frac
tion above 86,
The movements In Steel furnished a key to tho trading alt through tho
rest of the list, and as United States Steel common declined, more confidence
wna shown by tho bear element, and there was current gossip In tho Street
that pools have been formed In various stocks, especially war-order Issues,
And concentrated selling was evident In many of theso Issues. Crucible Steel,
which sold early nt 68, dropped before mltldny to 6BU. and I,ncttawnnna Steel,
the high being 86, yielded to 82H. A good pnrt of this selling had for nn
Incentive tho antagonistic expressions In Congress yesterday on tho sub
marine policy of tho Administration. Selling became larger In tho afternoon
session, and several Issues, mostly the specialties, showed sharp losses, notably
General Motors, which was down 40 points nt the low. Around 2 o'clock
tho market was weak.
Repeated drives were small at any stocks in the late trading, and llttto
effdrt was mado to resist tho bear attacks. Mexican Petroleum was one of
tho weakest issues, soiling down to 1144, against 121 early In tho day
ana a high of 120 early In tho week. lialrtwln Locomotive was nlso sub- I Ont Leather Co
Jected to concentrated attacks, and sold down to 110.
In tho standard Issues the tone waa nervous and unsettled, with American
Smelting declining two points and United States Steel common yielding about
ono point from Its high prlco of tho morning, selling nt 86. Now York
Central yielded about ono point, and Erie followed with about tho same amount
of loss. Taken altogether, liquidation was on a larger scalo than at any tlmo
since early In November, and tho supply of stocks was moro liberal than
on tho recession caused by tho Ancona note about a month ago.
Copper Said to Have Sold nt 24 'i Cents
Somo of tho leading producers nnd sellers of -copper have established their
price quite firmly at 24 cents a pound. Whllo It Is admitted in the trade that
somo metal enn bo purchased under that llgure. It Is stated that any largo
quantity for what Is considered good delivery at present would command
that price. Some smnll tonnage Is available for far-off shipment, It Is stated,
and could bo purchased at 23ft cents or 23 cents, but tho amount involved
Is bo small as to bo Insignificant, as far as being a prlco factor Is concerned.
In tho afternoon there were reports that some business had been dono at
24 4 cents.

CinCAQO, Jnn. 6. Wheat was feverish
nnd Irregular today, moving up nnd down,
but finishing below last nlcht's close. At
the start tho lone was stronger on free
covering by a large overnight local short
Interest, notwithstanding nn easier tone at
Liverpool and other bearish news from
abroad, where larger shipments from Ar
gentina nnd Australia were expected. On
this bulge offerings Increased enormously.
May dropped to $l.26, against I1.27U
at the cIopo yesterday, and July to $t.lSU,
compared with $1.19 VS at tho end yester
day. At tho low level there was a re
newal of resting orders to buy, . which dis
couraged short sellers and caused a dc
crenso in offerings, resulting In nnother
upward movement. Following tills, sell
ing again Increased, and tho close wns
easy at 1.2C7i for May and $1.18?i for
July.
Clearances from the Bcabonrd again
wero heavy nnd there Is every reason
for them to contlnuo free It freight room
can bo obtained. Minneapolis said that
tho largest receiving houses nnd clovotor
lines reported purchases In the country
as practically nothing In tho last few
days.
Rising temperatures wero predicted for
tho West, with snow or rnln in Illinois,
Missouri, Wlscousln, Minnesota, Nebraska
and Kansas.
Snow would bo welcome to the trade,
as tho new winter wheat crop Is not well
protected. Thero was somo additional
foreign buying. Country receipts In tho
Northwest contlnuo to fall off. Corn nlso
was irregular. Tho start was Btrong on
nrosnects of small shipments from Ar
gentina and an ndvanco at Liverpool. On
tho rlBe thero wns heavy selling by re
cent bulls, but after a whllo tho offer
ings woro absorbed. May closed c bo
low tho best at 7714c., and July o. oft
from tho best at 77T4c.

Calls for Building- and Loan Reports
HABBISBUBQ, Jan. 6. The Butt,
Bankisa Coramlisloner has Issued a call
fox- atate-ments of all building and loam
BMoeuUioo? operating In Fenatylviutisiu
p tcwr . : ,-"";,.
NI3W YOIIK, Jnn. C Business wns
larser on tho Cotton ExchanBc this morn
Iikt. OfferinBM woro nsnln qulto heavy
and served to hold tho market In check.
There was n Rood demand from spot
houses nnd Wnll street Interests, how
ever, nnd first prices were 2 to 6 points
higher, with the tono stendy.
This mnrket did not follow the Liver
pool advance, which nt the time of the
openlnp; hero mounted 7 o 10V4 points,
thero havlne; been a reaction of sovcrol
points from the highest. Private cables
snld the English market was Irregular
nnd erratic.
After the call the local murket became
quiet. At this tlmejhe action of Liver
pool Is being1 watchem closely because of
tho sharp declines reported. Before the
end of tho first 15 minutes hero tho Eng
lish market was off 8 to 9 points from
tho highest, but this had no effect on
prices here, which were at or near tho
opening levels.
Prices gradually eased off ns the day
progressed, until 10 to 13-polnta losses
were shown. Beforo the close, these had
been reduced four or llvo points, however.
Comment was heard nround the ring,
however, that tho two markets would
from this time on work more in sym
pathy with ono another becauso tho dif
ference in price virtually covered tho cost
of shipments from this country on the
nearby positions.
Aside from tho further covering- of Liv
erpool strnddlo shorts, there appeared to
be few buying orders nround the rlnsr,
whllo pressure was moro or less persis
tent. This mado itself felt whenever the
foreign demand subsided, and the market
showed Increasing nervousness as the
hour of tho Liverpool closo npproached,
with active months selling about 8 to 10
points under last night's closing figures.
There seemed to bo rather more South
ern hedge selling here, presumably of
spots by foreigners, and thero was also
pressure from local and Wall street
sources, Tho break nt Liverpool was
most generally considered nothlnsr more
Important than a reaction following the
recent steady advance, but this nlso
tended to restrict demand around tho
local ring and after tho close of the
English market, March sold off to 12.43,
or 15 points net lower.
Becelpts from cotton llnters produced.
In Texas during the last year have Iwen
$6,650,000, according- to figures made pub
lic today by railroads handling a large
percentage of the Texas crop. An en
tirely new market has been created for
hull fibre, due to tho demands for mate
rial needed in the manufacture of high
explosives used In the European war.
Market statistics Bhow that since a
year ago the price of llnters advanced
from H4c to 6,4c, a pound, and during
the last three months thero has been an
increasing demand for hull fibre nt 3o. a
pound, previously an unmarketable crop.
In the late afternoon the market ruled
quiet, but easltr, with prices showing a
net loss of 10 to 12 points. Offerings from
the South were more in evidence and sell
ing appeared to come also from local and
Wall street houses, Dtmand from short
furnished most of the buying-. Spot mar-J
nets were omciany reported rrom 6 points
lower to 12 points higher.
Arrivals of cotton at New York today
were 3393 bales, including 19 bales con
signed. The total included 632 bales lln
ters. The local warehouse stock has de
creased 3300 bales since the first ot the
month and is now 51,332 bales. Of this to
tal 141,732 bales are Inspected stock.
Exports lor the day aggregated 25,467
bales, against 71,628 bales a year ago. To
day's total Included 23,321 bales to Great
Britain, 100 bales to France and 2000 bales
to other points on the Continent. Clear
ances for the season amounted to 2.3S0.174
bales, compared with 2,761,361 bales for
the corresponding 'period last season.
