Steel and Southern Pacific RII Associated Press. i Xew York. Deo. 26.—(Wa1l Street) ; —Uecorit-l>re:iking dullness attended the post holiday resuamptiou of the j stock market dealing's to day. Attend ance of brokers on the Exchange was li;iht and outside interest appeared to be entirely lacking. The total overturn of the first half hour was less than 4,000 shares. I'. S. Steel and South ern Pacific, on 100 share offerings, again touched the low marks under which trading is not permitted, and St. Paul declined to its low price, with weakness in Amalgamated and West ern Maryland. Suvh unimportant shares as Beet Sugar and Rock Island rose slight fractions. Pronounced improvement was shown in the final hour, when a moderate de maud for some of the leaders resulted iu gains of one to two points, with the, coalers in the lead. Tito closing was firm. Opening with the lightest trading and lower prices, to-day's brief session . soon recovered to a level well above Thursday's closing. Inquiry from tho, short interest was the most poteut fac tor iu bringing about a readjustment ; of values. Reading, Lehigh Valley. Union Pacific, New York Central an' Baltimore and Ohio were features of the recovery. Bonds were steady. Review of the Week New York, Dec. 2G. —The second week of renewed trading in stocks was marked by further steady declines throughout the list, many shares sell ing under the closing range ot' Inly lit) last, when the Exchange found it j necessary to suspend operations be-1 cause of the war. In the course ot' this; week's dealings, which frequently de noted foreign and democratic domestic liquidation, a number of issues of spec ulative and investment importance de sired to the low or minimum quotations established by the authorities. These included 1". S. Steel, Canadian Pacific and Baltimore aud Ohio, while others of equal or greater value hovered , about their minimum nrices. It was regarded as especially sig nificant that declines were effected on very lijjht offerings, steel being almost j the only stock to come out iu large | amounts. Despite the safeguards! against short veiling, the short interest was active and contributed in large measure towards the shrinkage of values. Among the unfavorable t'ai'tors was! the reduction of the Pennsylvania Company's dividend, which directly affects the earnings of the Pennsylva nia railroad and gives rise to conjee- j ture regarding the stability of its own i dividend policy. This was seen not only i in the heaviness of Pennsylvania ■ shares, but iu the abrupt decline of other securities of the same class. The decision of the U. S. Bteel Cor- ' poration to maintain the existing wage scale for a time at least, because of the better outlook, and easier monev tendencies. including reduced dis- , counts, failed to exercise much in fluence 011 the constructive side.

LAIE WAR NEWS SUMMARY Continued From Flrat l*age. Berlin that Russia had ceded to Japan the northern half of the Island of Sak halin, directly north of Japan, in re turn for some heavy guns. The south ern half of this island, formerly Rus sian, was ceded to Japan after the Russo-Japanese war. Italy's occupation of the Albania port of Avlona was believed to open up possibilities of complications which might make it difficult for the Rome government to maintain its neutrality. The attitude of Rumania, also, was more than ever a matter of doubt, on account of reports from Paris that the only obstacle which prevented her from joining with the triple entente had been removed. Bulgaria was represent ed as having given assurances that she would remain neutral, relieving Rum ania from the fear of an attack from that quarter should she enter the war. Dispatches from Chilo stated that the last of what was once Germany's Pasific squadron was fighting to es cape the fate which overtook her four companion cruisers when they met the British. The German cruiser Dresden and the converted cruiser Prinz Bitel Friedrich were said to have been en gaged by the British cruiser New Castle, near Valparaiso.

Paris, with a characteristic re bound, has turned from the eon- j temptation of business inactivity and : darkened streets to the theatre, the | cafe and renewed commerce. The large dressmaking establishments j which are run by women have not closed. They have been kept open in \ the face ot the hard times. When there were i;o gowns to make, the em ployees were set to work upon the mak ing of bandages and hospital garments, knitting mufflers and socks for the sol- ! ' Petrograd Blue With Lining of Crimson Gives a Military Look to This Cape diers. In fact, the knitting of some ; thing has become such a fad that fash ionable women everywhere are knitting. But as the Germans were driven back from Paris the call for gowus from the outside world leaked through and the desigjjers began to fulfil the de j mand. Quite military are some of these new j frocks. One frock seen recently was j made of a new fabric on the broadcloth | order, with the same high sheen, but a I twilled weave in khaki color. The waist ! was made very simply, and with body J aud sleeves in one and full length, tit j ting very closely below the elbow. There i was a seam in the back of the waist, and | the front was cut in a U-shape, which : was slit from the under part of the I* ' to the waistline. On either side of this i opening, which was filled in with a guiinpe of hoavv lace, the edges were i bound with black braid and large loops of braid and buttons placed about an inch and a half apart to the waistline. A high military eolar finished the back of the neck. The sleeves were trimmed on the under side with smaller loops I and buttons from wrist to elbow. The skirt was made with a full long tunic with a very wide band of self-colored velvet around the bottom of it. About six inches of the narrower underskirt showed beneath. The center of the skirt was slit dowu about twelve inches, the edges bound With the braid and the loops and buttons of braid on either side, corresponding to the placing of the loops !on the waist. The whole effect showed the influence which the uniforms of the j combantants are having upon the ! fashions. Another frock noticeable for its mili tarv effect was made of blue cloth and an abundance of gold braid. The present time of year is an excel lent one to buy clothes. The freak styles of the early part of J lie season which looked as though they might renllv be worthy of attention have been sifted nut .and there is not the danger of buv- XEGRO ASSAULTS GIRLS Aid Offered by Colored People of City to Apprehend Man Attempted assaults on two white girls by a negro reported to the Harris burg police are responsible for a warning issued by Chief of Police Hutchison to parents to exercise caution.
