The Block market ronctcd further today on efforts of the benrlili element
ort the floor nntl some outside operators. Including a few prominent pltinReri.
Who mrule frequent efforts to depress prices of lending Btoclts nnd force
speculative liquidation. "
irost of these efforts were concentrated tn United Stnte Steel common,
which, while It wns offered down from 85V4 to 834, wiih subjected to further
bearish Influence In the shape of assertion that the dliector.t nt their meet
ing on Tuesday will not declare a dividend on the common stock. A a
matter of fact, the usually welMnformod !nlrot on the Street Insist that
the stock will bo replaced on the dividend pnslntr Hit on Tuesday, nnd seeril
wagers were made today that a dividend of Vt per cent, will then bo declared.
With rejrard to Steel, one Important house with close connections In the
management Is tulvlscd that no dividend will be declared, while another house,
equally prominent nnd also nltlllatcd with the mnnittrcmcnt. 1 said bj membeis
of the firm to have positive Information that n dividend of l'i per cent. v ill
be declared. Naturally, n6 extensive new commitments on a long sldo In Steel
common can bo looked for until the dividend position IS defined nt the dlicctors'
meeting.
United State Steel earnings for the ear ended December 31 will show,
when this December quarterly statement Is Issued next Tuesday, about $60,000,
000 for the year 1916 applicable to dividends on the common stock, nnd It will
requlro about only 1-10 of this amount to pay tho dividend of 1'A per cent, on
the common stock, which those who uln.ulil have full knowledge of the compnnv's
affairs now look for. It Is held by sumo Important market Interests that If the
United States Steel cannot give $0,000,000 out of $60,000,000 to tho common stock
holders thnt there will be no purpose In making Investments In those shares.
Following the announcement thnt the ltethlehem Steel Corporation had
declared n dividend of 30 per cent, on the common stock, the llrst ever paid j mute A superior
By tho company, there was renewed selling throughout the whole market. The
Street had genernlly expected thnt n much larger dividend would be tleclired,
nnd as lnte as jcatcrduy n dividend of 40 per cent, wna talked of. It was
said yesterday that the earnings of the company for tho current month
would bo $6,000,000. ltethlehem Steel showed a loss of 2T, points ns com
pared with tho final price of jrntcrday.

In the afternoon, the Street figuring that If only 30 per cent, wns declnred
on llethlehcm the company could not be making ns much money no
has been cuirently reported, and that other companies engaged In tho muni
tions business weie probably In tho same bout In this respect. Ocneral
Mdtors was off 12 points and several other uhares were oft one to live points.
A lnrge part of tho selling umo from the West, nnd pnit of this was
on stop-loita orders, causing many iitocks to reach the lowest pi Ices of the
(lay; but the supply from the bear raiders and the Western houses wns easily
fibsorbed, and before the market closed moderate recoveiles were toported.
The mnrket, however, hud shown signs of slaleness befote the afternoon
decline occurred, nnd there was no disposition on the part of bujers to bid
prices up from tho low levels eitnbllshed. Some of the railroad stocks, which
havo been pushed sharply upward during the Inst jenr, reflected weakening
of pool members.
Talk of More Dividend Declarations

last quotation. It was avjeited that Mr.
Fatten was out of tho market.
Tho temporury improvement was cauncrt
by reports of export budncsj, I rccly
clearances from the te.-ibo.'iul, decreasing
stocks nt Mlnncapo'ilf, tinner cables from
Liverpool, ntter thnt market had shown
easiness, and a rise ut Winnipeg.
Commission houses wetu on both sides
of the mirket, but the weight of the
offerings Anally overcame the amount of
buying, forcing prices down at;alu
Liquidation tn the tlnnl dealings wns

a scarcity of vessels was checking ex
port sales, business for the day being

COFFEE MARKET QUIET -NUW
YORK, Jan. :o.-The cofTee mar
ket opened Irregular (his morning with
prices 2 points lower to 3 points higher.
Later the market was very quiet, wth
prices virtually unchanged from the open,
ing level. A little demand for the late,
months caused a slightly steadier tone,
however, and there was an absence of
selling pressure.
Conditions in Ilrazll appear to bo some
what unsettled, as Itlu exchange on Lon
don lost yesterday's advance- of 5-32d. It
was the Impression nmong local Importers
that the low rate of exchangu might bring
about Increased offerings to America.

down nsalnst sales of later months and
after tho break of about 10 to 19 points
