FINANCE STEEL LIGHTLY TRADED IN AND STOCK TAKES DIE DROP Sales of Only 1,000 Sharles Were Made lu the Pirst Hour, AU at the MUunium—Preferred Added to Initial Decline Bv Associated Press, New York, Jan. 27—('Wull Street) —Passing of the dividend on United States Steel common yesterday hand an unsettling effect upon the market at to-day's opening, Steel was only light ly Viu.!sd in, but fell from yesterday's closing price of 51'/ a to its minimum of 48 without any intermediate sales. The preefrred stock, whose dividend re mains unchanged, promptly fell 4Vi points. Throughout the active list there were losses of 1 and 2 points, Reading, Canadian Pacific and the transoontinentais being weakest. The decline extended to steel sinking fund ■bonds, which fell half a point. Lon don's range for Americans was higher than the local market. Steel being the only issue to show marked heaviness there. Trading in the first hour aggregated 140,000 shares,. equaling the activity on the recent upturn. Sales of Steel in that period were exactly 1,000 shares, all at the minimum. In the unofficial market, established while the stock ex change was closed, sales of Steel were reported at 46. Steel pfd. added to its initial decline, selling at a little over a point from its minimum. Reading, the Hill and 'Harriman sharts, Pennsyl vania, Canadian Pacific, St. Paul and New York Central sold lower, also Amalgamated Copper, Smelting and some less prominent issues.

LATE WAR NEWS SUHARY Continued From First Pace. there is a conflict of statement both the .French and Germans claiming the advantage. A heavy snowfall has lnter i mpted the struggle in Alsace. The German war office says there are no changes in Poland, and that in East i Prussia, Russian attacks were repulsed. The Turkish attempt to invado ! Egypt, several times reported, has at last begun., according to unofficial ad ! vices from Athens, which says that | three Turkish army corps under com- I maud of Djmel Pasha are engaged in I the movement. A Cairo dispatch states j that British troops and warships are j being assembled near the Suez canal j and that civilians are leaving the | scene. Tho new Austro-German plan in the | cast, which as an Immediate object calls j lor the protection of the dual mon archy from Russian invasion rather than the prosecution of the offensive along the Warsaw'front, seems to have ex erted already a markod influence on tho campaign. Heavy reinforcements of Germans have been sent into Hungary to assist the Austriaus and an official j statement to-day from Vienna reports j that important victories over the Rus sians have been gained. The fighting took place at the moun tain passes leading into Northeastern and Northwestern Hungary and Rus sians were compelled to evacuate ini- I portant possessions, after repeated aud fruitless attacks. These reported gains for the Russians follow their successes in Bukowlna which Vienna rogards as having crippled the Russian offensive there and rendered unlikely the partici pation of Rumania in tho war, at least at this time. A Russian official statement asserts j that successes were'won in recent figlii ' iug in Galicia, where attacks of tho ! Austro-German forces were npulsed everywhere. In Central Poland, along I the Warsaw front, the Germans made several violent assaults, but are said to have been driven back with heavy losses. In the west tho British troops once more are withstanding the brunt of the German attack. Severe lighting con- I tinues along La Bassee canal, whore 1 the Germans appear to have won the advantage. Austria has plans for the formation of a rifle reserve of 500,000 men, to be sent to Europe if the war is pro longed. German Staff Now at Charlevllle Amsterdam, via London, Jan. 27, 9.50 A.
