STEEL LIGHTLY TRADED IN

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. Slight re
covery was made in the second hour on
a declining volume of business. Bonds
were from ono-half to a point lower.

la exhausted to a high degree of va
cuum. Then a small quantity of hy

CAPTAIN ERDIHANN AMONG
THE BLUECHBR'S WOUNDED
Loudon, Jan 27, 5.1(5 A. M.—Cap
lain Erdmaun, of the Qerman armoreil
cruiser Bluochei, which was sitnk in the
recent battle 'n ths North sea, has been
placed among the wounded, according
to the Edinburgh correspondent of tho
"Times." He is Buffering from shock.
The Lion and the Tiger were tho
only British battle cruisers that MIS
lained material damage in tho tight,
the correspondent adds. Tho Lion had
her speed reduced, but that soon can
oe remedied. T!i.i Princess Koyil, an
other of the British battle cruisers,
which had almost as big a part in tho
action, the correspondent states, is
practically unscratched.
London, Jan. 27, 4.53 A. M.—Most
of the warships engaged in Sunday's
naval battle in tho North sea returned
home Monday and during Monday
night, it was announced here to-day.
The Lion, the flagship of Bir David
Beatty, was the last of tho battle
cruisers to arrive. She returned Tues
day morning, when the Arthensa and
the Laurel, among tho light cruisers;
some of the lest->yeis and ♦he battle
cruisers Tiger, Prinr >ss Royal, Indomit
able and New Zealand were already
at their moorings.

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.
