STEADY DECLINES IN WEEK'S TRADING Steel Was Almost the Only Stock to Come Out in Large Amounts Hy Atsacialed I'rtss New York, Dec. 26. The second week of renewed trading in stock* was marked by further steady declines throughout tlio list, many shares sell ing under the closing range of July 30 last, where the exchange found it necessary to suspend operations be cause of the war. In the course of this week's dealings, which frequently denoted foreign and domestic liquida tion, a number of issues of speculative and investment importance desired to the low or minimum quotations estab lished by the authorities. These in cluded United States Steel, Canadian Pacific and Baltimore and Ohio, while others of equal or greater value hover ed about their minimum prices. It was regarded as especially sig nificant that declines were effected on very light offerings, steel being almost the only stock to come out in large amounts. Despite the .safeguards I against short selling, the short inter est was active and contributed in large measure towards the shrinkage of values. I Among the unfavorable factors was the reduction of the Pennsylvania t ompany s dividend, which directly af reets the earnings of the Pennsylvania Railroad and gives rise to conjecture regarding the stability of its own divi dend policy. This was seen not only in the heaviness of Pennsylvania shares, but In the abrupt decline of other se curities o ftlie same class. The decision of the U. S. Steel Cor poration to maintain the existing wage scale for a time at least, because of the better outlook, and easier money tend . Including reduced discounts, iaued to exercise much influence on the constructive side. NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE New York, Dec. 26. Open. High. Low. Clos.

GREEK ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS JAN. 7 Will Be Widely Celebrated Here; Only One Arrest; Youngsters Entertained In just twelve days Steelton will again celebrate Christmas. This time, however, it will ba the Christmas of the Greek Orthodox Church, which falls on January 7. This difference in the dates of the two holidays is due to the difference in the calendars of the churches. The Gregorian calendar used by the Greek Orthodox Church—is just thir teen days behind the Julian calendar, by which we mark time. This second Christmas celebration is widely observed by the foreign ele ment in Steelton. Numerous pig roasts, picturesque folk dances ami other affairs to ua rather odd, mark the day in Steelton's big' foreign dis trict. Yesterday's Christmas celebration here was almost unique. Only one ar rest was made. The unlucky offender, who fell Into the law's clutches, was Stewart Palmer, of Harrisburg. Stew art, It seems, had been celebrating rather freely when he was ejected from a trfolley car. He retaliated, It is alleged, by hurling a whisky bottle through a car window. He will be arraigned before Squire Gardner. Joy was brought to the hearts of just eighty-one kids through the movement inaugurated by the Rev. A. K. Wier, pastor of Centenary United Brethren Church. The children, after attending an entertainment In their honor, were taken into the homes of the church members, where they spent the day. The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. wier entertained just fourteen of the little tots—rather a houseful. The big plant of the Pennsylva nia Steel Company was closed down tight and still is. Operations will be resumed gradually after Monday.
