Houses Had Few Outside Orders Business "Cko Almost Wholly Professional . ," NEW YOItK. Jan. 17. Tho stock market Iodny was disappointing; to commission houses, few frtitsldo orders belngr recelvett over Sunday, and as a consequence most of tiw trading In the standard Issues was of a professional character, with tho rwtH traders selling 'early and then turning to tho buying side. There were eomo largo orders, however, In tho specialties directly affected by tho Retttipean wnr. Marino preferred was the1 most Important feature, advancing four points to a. now high record of 8514. with P. 13. Kecch & Co. taking largo amount of both tho preferred and common certificates. International Nickel rose nearly nine points, crossing 227, also a new high record, and thcro was continued banking buying of Cruclblo Steel, which sold nbove 70. Trading continued almost wholly professional all through tho lato after noon,' with tho room traders resuming bearish operations and offering slocks at concessions. Marino preferred reacted ono point, while International Nickel droppcd flvo points from Its high price of tho morning. Fractional losses occurred In Union Pacific, Now York Central and Southern Pacific. Min neapolis and St. Louis Issues wore weak, tho common declining nbout four points and tho preferred losing more than ono point. Tho decline In tho totter was duo to reports that tho stockholders would bear tho brunt of tho 'readjustment plan. American Can was another strong feature, moving up 1V4. Most of tho buying was traced to Held and First National Dank sources, and was attributed to tho expectation of an early and favorable decision In tho Government suit.

Spot Demand Slow NEW YORK, Jan. 17 A steadier tone prevailed In the coffee market at the open ing this morning and first prices were 3 to 5 cents higher on a little scattered covering. Sales on the call were 1500 bags. The market continued quiet throughout the first hour, but prices lout some of the early steadiness as a result of Increased offerings from trade Interest. There was thought to.be some indications that Brazil was willing to make concessions In fact, it was said that Santos la were offered here as low as 9 cents in the cost and freight market. The spot demand was again slow, and. while holders of coffee are not disposed to oppose any upward tendency in prices, they show little dis position to make new purchases.
