MARINE PREFERRED AND NICKEL
ESTABLISHED NEW HIGH RECORDS
grading in Standard Issues Was Small Commission
i-. 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.
Final Action on Minneapolis and St. Louis Plan Today
A meeting of tho directors of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad Com
pany will be held lato this afternoon, when It Is expected that final action
will bo taken relative to the readjustment plan that has been under considera
tion for some weeks. An ofllclal announcement of the plan will bo made
tonight or tomorrow. It Is understood that tho stockholders will bo called
upon to provide most of tho hioncy needed to carry out the terms of tho

ADVANCES AT LIVERPOOL
Bears Were Free Sellers Buying of
Good Character
NEW YORK, Jan. 17. Further sharp
advances In Liverpool wero followed to
some extent by the local cotton market
this morning. Recent bears, as usual on
any bullish factor, were free sellers and
U.ld prices In check. Opening advances
ranged from 6 to 9 points and tho tune
was firm.
-Some Well street houses which have
. ben against tho market for weeks of
fered tho various options, but tho buy
ing, while" scattered, was considered of a
fairly good character. After the call quo
tations reacted about " points.
In tho South the temperatures wore low
and precipitation was quite general, being
heavy In some sections of the belt, es
pecially near tho Gulf.
Instead of showing losses of 2i to V.i
points, as due. the Liverpool "market was
1 to VA points higher at the start here
and then rose about 3 points farther. A
private cable said, "Strong small mar
ket; no hedging; very little orTerlng."
Liverpool showed continued firmness
after tho local opening, while prices on
tLls side or the Atlantic eased off. Tho
'widening of the differences did not seem
to attract much Liverpool buying, but
there was some support from houses with
English connections, and prices, which
had sold back to within A .or 5 points
of Saturday's closing figures, steadied 2
or 3 points from the lowest. After the
iose abroad this Liverpool demand
.tjtpercd. nnd prices here at'aln sagged un
der continued Wall Street anC local
pressure.
The receipts . of cptton at ports for
the day were, estimated at ', 18,0M) bales,
compared with M'.3& bales last week, 75,
081 bales, last year anjl 3I.S3S bales in 1311.
.Arrivals today were SS31 bales, including-
3H3 bales llnters. Memphis also re
ported daly heavy arrivals of llnters

COFFEE MARKET STEADIER
Brazil Willing to Make Concessions.
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.

As a matter of fact, In recent years the
company's profits on the operntlon of
Its various gas properties have not been
so largo ns formerly, owing tp tho steady
lowering of the rates charged. On tho
other hand, It has been developing nn
Increasingly profitable business In dif
