Stocks and Bonds.
NEW YORK, Jon. 1?Such anima
tion as was manifest at odd times in
today's stock market wub mainly la the
special clasB of securities. This em
braced Bethlehem Steel, which rose to
52 3-8, a high price, to the accompani
ment of dividend resumption rumors;
American Can, whose earnings are
said to be very large; Westing house
Electric, International Harvester, al
though there was an abrupt decline
to its minimum by the stock of the
foreign corporations; and several of
the newly listed automobile shares.
Favorite railway stocks were under
pressure for the greater p?rt of th?
session, likewise United States Steel,
which again was offered for foreign
Interests, according to board room
gossip. In the final hour, however,'
and to the accompaniment of more ac
tivity than has recently been shown,
the whole liBt broadened and advanc
ed with numerous net gains of 1 to
over 3 points. The short injtereBt In
some of the more speculative issues
hurriedly covered their commitments,
which In many instances resulted In
considerable loss.
By fur the most interesting devel
opment of the day was another d?clin?
in exchange on London, bringing the
quotations down to 4.83 1-2 the lowest
price siuce th? market panic here in
October, T9?7. Despite this abnormal
situation bankers today expressed
doubt that any of the gold recently
shipped to Ottawa would bp, returned
in th? immediate future. It was ' agreed
that the chief cause of the decline lay
in the vast; improvement, shown by
(his country's foreign trade.
Small dealings continued in ' the
Undon marltot, but high grade is
sue sWere steady. - Payment of - a
larcA inntArimpnt nt tlip npw war loan
was made without moetary strain. The
Bank of England lost slightly more
hau $3,000,000 gold during the ~ week
nnd its liability reserves showed some
reduction. r
The local market for bonds was ir
regular .with wide fluctuations in
many Issues. Total sales, par value,
were $1,880.000.
United ' States government bonds
were unchanged on call. i

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.?After a com
jaratlvely steady morning the cotton
market me?t renewed {realizing 'to

let decline of 8 to 10 points. . , .
. Cables a little more than respond- .
;d to yesterday's-local-decline, but
if ter opening at decline of l point to
m' -advance- of '2 points, the market
1?re sold about 4 to 7 points net high
er during the early trading. This,
advance reflected covering by some of
yesterday's sellers, who were evident
ly impressed by the large" sales and
Jteady showing of the southern spot
Markets while there also appeared to
l>o some buying by houses with Ger
man, connections.
The demand was dot as general or
as aggressive as it was earlier In the
week, however, and the market be
came comparatively quiet at the " ad
vance. The slackening of demand
seemed to inspire renewed realizing
by old longs, and as prices began to
sag off the selling became more active.
Spot houses were sellers of October
on the-decline and rumors that Italy
was on the verge of declaring wan on .
