COMMERCIAL AND MARKET NEWS REPORTED FOR THE CALL
Drop in New York Central Revives
Disturbance in Market
IVew Vorlc Stock: Market
*_^ V '"-W YORK, Jan. 6. — The slock market had apparently disposed of
\u25a0•% 1 the disturbing effect of the collapse in Consolidated gas before the
' I day's session at the ?tock excliangc had proceeded far. This factor
JL had no more than lost its influence when a drop in New York
Central intervened to give a fresh start to the nerves of speculative
holders of stocks. \u25a0 : - \u25a0 '-::-:^..-'^^ \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0.:\u25a0
The reaction in New York Central was based, like that in Consolidated
•gas. <»n previous excessive speculation, although not carried to such length
a< had been that in the gas stock, nor was the news which caused the
speculators to feel misgivings so definite or .«o abrupt as that offered by the
supreme court decision in the gas case. The unfavorable influence on New
York Central's price emanated from the board room of the directors of the
company, where the action in electing \V. C. Brown president of the railroad
was interpreted as belying the position that E. H. Harrimau was to assume
an active place on the directory and place a man of his own choice in the
management of the system. .r: ' ' v
Control of New York Central is about the latest of a large number of
new activities in the railroad world that have been assigned to Harriman'
"::i a constant succession ever since last April, when that gentleman "rescued
the Eric? by coining forward to pitch a block of that company's notes neces
sary to meet a default on a maturing obligation and save a receivership.
The conjecture over the course of the plans of that group of powerful
capitalists represented by Harriman have been busy at all points of the
prolonged speculation that has been in progress since that time.- The in
ference drawn from the result of the New York Central decision on a presi
dent that the latest and most conspicuous of these conjectures was mistaken
was not relished by the speculative contingent. Heavy speculative liquida
tion was renewed when the break in New York Central occurred.
'.-: It is not certain that influential liquidation was entirely suspended at any
:i;iic during the day. but it was disguised early, owing to the large demand
from the short interest which met it. The bears had sold freely on account
of the collapse in Consolidated gas, and when that stockshowed signs of
having reached the limits of its drastic process of liquidation a large short
jiucroft remained to be covered. This was especially notable in American
-molting. The Colorado and Southern stocks were the center of another
demonstration on the strength of rumors concerning the terms to be offered
to holders of the preferred stocks by the alleged intention of the Chicago,
Jii:rliugton and Quincy authorities. The whole market was quite impressively
strong at one period, but prices quickly melted away with the renewal of
iim*rdation late in the day. ; ' ; . "m" m ,
The effect on speculative sentiment was disquieting and. gave additional
impulse lo the selling. The money market continued to work easier and it
iva« evident that large resources were flowing back in the banks and seeking
employment in the money market. / _
New York Central, which closed last night at 128, sold up. to 129& in
"•the morning, broke to 123 and closed at 125;|. £-.; . '•.-^ , .. - : :-\l ';'

Condition ot General Trade .
Henry Clews of New York says In a review
of business conditions: "Financial conditions
show great Improvement. Banking and credit
atTalrs are sound; capital Is plentiful for legiti
mate purposes, and all the tendencies of the
times we toward recovery. Railroad stocks are
held very high; so high as to remove many of
them from the speculative field, . bringing into
prominence many of the cheaper - Issues. Con
fidence is gaining among investors, but the
latter still show a decided preference for
bonds, which offer mirer If smaller returns
than storks. As a result the bond market is in
good rendition. Money promises to be reason
ably easy during the next six " months. - New
applications for capital \u25a0 will probably be large,
especially from the railroads, and this will ,
stimulate certain lines of industry and give
employment . to labor. The mercantile outlook
has improved greatly during the . last • three
months, and . trade promises to 4 expand more
freely in the coming year. Our railroads are
expecting much better tiroes than in 190 S.
Our steel, textile and other mills are fairly
aetlve, but arc not by any means running on
full time, probably not more than from : 80 to
90 per cent of their capacity. Tariff uncertain
ties mnr poesibly cause temporary dullness, but
actual revision Is little feared, because our
Industrie* are better able than ever to stand
alone. With the rise of confldence in business
circles and an abatement of poUtical scares the
coming year should be one of growing Industrial
activity.

IVew York Cotton Market
NEW YORK, Jan. 6. — Hutton's wire says:
"Cotton opened steady unchanged to three points
advance. Trading was fairly active. The local
crowd, who are bearish, as . weU as a large
local all street operator, were free sellers.
Tbe large local spot house is Btill buying.
Receipts are falling off somewhat. The : gln
ners' report Is due at the \u25a0' opening • Saturday,
and with Liverpool showing more firmness, trad
ers look for October to sell much higher In the
next three or four months."
Cotton had a more cheerful feeling, based
on the large spot sales In Liverpool, which ran
up to 15,000 bales. The price movements have
been within a comparatively narrow range.
Ring scalpers were generally short and , bearish
and sold quite freely after the opening. Large
spot Interests were good bnyera. Traders were
generally awaiting the ginning report on Satur
day, which Is expected to run from 12,450,000
to 12.550,000 bales. The National .glnners'
association says its reports confirm the govern
ment crop estimate of slightly under 13,000,000
bales. Trade news Is somewhat more encourag
ing, with a better volume of business with
China.
Spot closed quiet; middling uplands, 9.75 c;

was a chief topic of discussion among traders
in- the wheat pit. and the uncertainty ; regarding
the possible damage to winter wheat brought out

small ' movement In \ the northwest - were hidden
facts to that tending to . strengthening . tbe mar
ket. After displaying considerable strength flur-

Potatoes, Onions nnd Vegetables
In the produce market potatoes and onions
were moderately active and nrm, with prices
standing exactly the same as quoted in tbe last
report, but there, was very little life to trading
In miscellaneous vegetables. The previous high
prices asked for peas and beans from the south
checked the consumptive demand and both were
easier, with the former finding but few buyers.
There were only 8 sacks of peas received yester
day, but there was a heavy carryover from the
preceding day. which could not be. sold, although
offered at sharply reduced rates. Tomatoes were
firm for both Los Angeles and Mexican stock,
though sales were rather slow. Eggplant and
peppers were dull, while summer squash found
prompt sales at $1.50(81.75 a box.

Poultry and Game
The poultry I market developed an easier tone
yesterday, a hill in the buying . movement caus
ing supplies :to accumulate, and the general
feeling was one of weakness as a result. Re
ceipts from state shipping points \u25a0 were light,
being less than 50 coops, but there was an over
supply of western, nve cars of . which were
handled since Monday. -All kinds of chickens
stood as before quoted, but some receivers were
expecting a lower range of values. A few scat
tering cases of dressed turkeys were received
and tbe stock was held at 22@25c a pound, but
found few buyers. Thera were few changes in
game. The supply* was large, and with the de
mand limited and much of the stock In poor
condition, the market was decidedly' weak.
