New York, .lan. 2.—The most no table feature of the week iu the stock market was the fact that it brought to a edose the dullest yv.ir aince 18 i 8. This condition was dirivtty due to the European w.ir, which necessitated a sue pension of market o|»oratiotis for four months and caused an enormous shrinkage in the value ol' American se curities. Trailing in the four business days preceding the new year was reduced to minimum proportions, with some lirni ness in leading stocks and a few spe cialties. These however, were deeidely under the price level attained a little more than a fortnight agw when open trading in the entire list was resumed. A few more stocks, most of them un imporfant. were added to the list of issues which fell to minimum quota tions, while U. Steel, Southern Pa cific and Baltimore and Ohio made par tial recovery from their low prices of the preceding week. Acirte weakness was shown by some of the GouM stocks, Missouri Pay tic falliug abruptly to a new low record. Western Maryland is sues also were weak as a result of the company's announcement of its inten tion to default on the interest of its outstanding notes. Wail Street looks with some hope to the reopening of the London Exchange next week and to the pronounced bet terment in the Paris bulking situation.

(Wall Street).— Foreign advices exercised depressing effect upon the stock market at to-day's opening, most issues manifesting a viewing tendency. Now York Airbrake ««is prominent in the apceia.l class for its six point decline and such active shares as were quoted in the first hislf itottr inclined to heaviness. IT. 8. Htoel and I'nion Pacific soon recovered, how ever, but Western Maryland added a .point to its recent severe loss. Bethle hem Steel gained a material fraction, while most trf the leaders were virtual ly umchaiied. Dealings were very light. Closing: The first day of 1915 on the Stock Exclrawjje w«s marked by the smallest overturn of tiny two hour session in some years. Attendance of brokers and customers wns in keeping with the sluggish movement. Loading shares showed no pronounced cliange either way and some of the speculative favorites failed of a single transaction. Among tlu\specialities were such vari able changes as a six-point loss in New York Airbrake an.l a. five-point- advance in Sears-Roebuck. News from London where the market is to reo|K*n on Mon day, acted as a deterrent to any trad ing on the bull side. Bonds were steady.
