York New York. January 23.?Two well defined movements of diverse charac? ter to-day srave the .stock market a nervous and unsettled tone Follow? ing the general advance in London, the local market opened strong and buoyant, with gains which in some cases carried stocks to new high point* for the year, hut before midday this position was reversed; A selling move? ment, which gathered considerable vol? ume, met with little resistance until all the morning's gains were marked off, and prices in many instances stood at a figure helot* that of Saturday's close. Buying til the bottom steadied market somewhat, and during the remainder of the day trading was dull; at prices slightly above the lowest. Tin market was subjected to vary? ing Influences during the day. News developments were not of sulllcieht Import, however, t" account for the wide range of lluctuitions; except on the assumption (hat trading was on a thin basis. United states Steel was made the pivot of bull operation in the morning on a revival of reports of trad.' Improvements, especially In con nection with the advance in the price of wire product.-. This was accepted as proof that certain branches of the steel and iron industry were in a much better technical position than had been generally supposed, and the sympa? thetic4 Influence of the advance in steel shares was felt by the entire list. Later in the day United states Steel was vised as effectively as the centre of Operations In a bear movement, when | word came from Washington that t resolution contemplating ah Inquiry Into the steel corporation's affairs was receiving consideration in the House. "Word thai ho action had boon taken on t?ie resolution helped to steady prices in the late trading. Interboro-Metropolitan was weak through the trading, because of the latest competitive off r for the con? struction of subways, and Consolidated Gas was affected adversely by its an? nual report, showing earnings some? what below expectations. While little doubt Is expressed thai tb-morrow's offerings of city bonds will be successful; traders showed some inclination to keep down their commitments until the outcome is made i known. December reports <>f I ho ? Le hlgh Valley and the Pittsburg, Cin? cinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Rail? roads, showing further substantial de? creases in net earnings, also exercised a depressing influence, while reports of an Impending decision in the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger c=se were used to sell those shares; Much sliiftintr of loans occurred in the money markets to-day incidental to the city bond issues, but these oper? ations found little reliction in local monetary conditions, which remained extremely easy. A better inquiry for sixty and ninety-day loans was re? ported, with no change of rates. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $3,310,000. United States gov? ernment 3s advanced 1 - \ on call.
