DULLEST YEAR SINCE 1878
IN THE U. MARKET
The Condition Was Directly Duo to the
European War. Wt>ich Caused An
Enormous Shrinkage iu the Value
of American Securities
B-I ASSOC iatcd PRESS.
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.
The outlook in the steel industry is
more encouraging with some expansion
in general trade. The first week of the
new year is expected to witness the

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.

Killing Off the Race
From the Christian era till the pres
ent time an statists and historians tell
us, there 'have been less Chan 240 war
less years. Up to|'the middle of the
nineteenth century it was roughtlv com

Dogs' Pants
Dogs do not pcr«pire. In hot weath
er they regulate the temperature of
their blood by breathing moro quickly,
I which produces a rapid evaporation of
1 water from the surface of the lung*.
That is the reason why a dog pants in
hot weather.
The Waste of War
In the current issue of "(Farm and
Fireside" appears a very interesting
collection of photographs showing the
wreckage &f war as compared with the
fruits of prosperity in peaceful times.
One photograph is of a French infantry
overrunning the wheat fields in the
Vosges Mountain country. Harvesting
machines lay idle while the men search
down tramping over the crops. Oppo
site this picture is a photograph, taken
in the same country, of wheatfields in
times of peace with five largo combined
harvesters at work on the crops. These
photographs are mute but poworful
documents against war.
