/>,7 Associated Frees.
Xew Y.ork, Jan. 26.—(Wa1l Street)
—Changes at the opening o£ to-day's
stock market suggested no definite
trend, gains and losses being somewhat
conflicting. Tor instance, United States
Steel Common, whose directors act on
the dividend to-day, showed no change
while the preferred stock was fraction
ally lower. Several specialties and ob
scure stocks rose smartly, including
American Sugar and Beet Sugar, which
gained 1 1-2 and 1 1-4 points. By the
end of the half hour the entire list was
higher Respite the heaviness in our
stocks in London.
Stocks continued to fluctuate during
the early session but invariably the
price level was above yesterday's close,
fciteel made a fractional gain on deal
ings and the consensus of opinion was
that the present rate of the dividend
would be maintained. There were gains
of a point or more in Canadian Pacilie,
Krie, pfd. and the Southern group of
railroads, Seaboard Airline adjustment

DRAGON FLIES AT SEA
The Puzzle That Came With Them and
a Squall Later on
In describing a voyage from Hong
kong to Shanghai some years Ad
miral Fitzgerald relates in his " book,
"Memories of the Sea," a peculiar ex
ptriencC:
"One afternoon when we were lying
at anchor out of sitfht of land, the;
weather being very dose and sultry,
we saw a great cloud approaching the
ship from the direction of the shore,
which w«« about fifty miles off. The i
cloud came slowly nearer and nearer.
It did not look like rain, and presently,
as it enveloped the ship, we found it
was composed of dragon flies-, and vcrj
' big ones. The.* evidently made for the
ihip to get a renting place, bu* many
: missed and foil exhausted in the calm
sen.
1 "The maris, the yard*, lb. rigging
and all the ropes ill tbo ship were in-,
crusted with thein. It wa.s a verv,
sultry evening, and about <» o'clock wo!
all bathed. I remember the strange;
experience ot diving into a sea of
drasjon flies, which stuck to our arms i
and shoulders, got into our hair ami j
quite spoiled our swim. A light air
I then came off front the land, so we
! weighed anelwr and made tail to the,
southward, and at midnight, just at
the watch was changing, we were!
struck by a terriflie squall, which laid!
the old snip nearly on her beam ends.
"We wondered whether the visit*-j
tion of dTagon flies was connected in j
any way with the squall. But if they ;
were blown fifty miles, off the land,
where they certainly did not want to!
go, why dfid we not get. the wind for j
six hours afterwardt"

I LATE WAR NEWS SUIISIBARIf
<?onflntitHl I'ritm 2<'LRKT PDATIS
: west- of Tham< v/liich may indicate that,
; the Germans hav.> advanced In this re
; gion.
It is ssid in Berlin that Russian at
tacks in East Prussia were repulsed,
and that no important fighting occurred
in center Poland. Thf latter statement
is in contrast Petro,?rad reports of
severe battle- wost of Warsaw.
The Russian Foreign Minister, Bargiiu
SBianoff, announced that Russia -would
continue the war so long ss n single sol
dier cf hci enemies remained on r.us-
Dian soil.
Three British warships were wink in
the naval cn?ur.piucui in the North Sea
Sunday. Berlin now r.sserts. A state
ment issued there to-day say:; that "ac
cording to well informed German
sources" a Britirft ba't'o cruiser was
sent to the bottom by a German torpedo
boat and that a German aviator wit
nessed the detivxticn of the vessel. In
addiitoi to tha loss o; the cruiper, as
previously reported in Berlin, it is stat
ed that two B.itish torpedo boats were
sunk and that other warship: were dam
aged seriously. The British Admiralty
has added nothing to its original an
nouncement that no Britith vessels were
lost cr seriously injured.
The Gorman government's order for
the confiscation of all supplies of wheat,
torn and flour is regarded in England as
a significant indication of tile economic
effects of the war upon Ooimany. It is
said. officially in Berlin, however, that
the rction of the government, assuring
conservation of foodstuffs will make
certain a plentiful supply until the next
harvest.
Russia is rushing reinforcements into
Bitlcowina, where she apparently has
met with a reverse at the hands of the
Austrian forces. Vienna assumes that
Rumania will now hanltate to join Rus
sia in the war and that the danger of
the invasion of Transylvania is over, at
leant for the immediate future. In Po
land heavy lighting is under way once
mpre, and a degree of success for the
Germans is admitted in Fetrograd. .Ber
lin hears that the Teutonic allies have
Occupied Kielce.
In the war with Turkey also, Russia
is encountering severe opposition. Al
though Petrograd announced that the
resistance of the Turks in the Trans-
Caucatus has been virtually broken, an
official statement to-day says that the
Turks are offering stubborn resistance,
although the Russian offensive is mak
lag progress.
