IN THE STOCK MARKET
Realizing of Speculative Profits Proceeded
Steadily
A LOSS IN PRICES WAS THE RESULT
Iltc llontl Mnrkrt Wns llcnctlotinry
ln i i > ot rinil In Symlmthy
with Stocks
New Ycirk Jsnuary 1 The realizing of
speculative profits proceeded steadily today
ata reiultlng expense of prices The only
vsrlelon from the downward course was
due to purely technical causes Even tho
opening advances In prices wero largely dus
to manipulation which began In the London
marke on sblcd orders from here betoro
the market in New York opened The gen-
eral stftdinesa in Ihe London market helped
ths purpose
The rapid recuperation n the condition of
tie bank of England and < hc continued ease
of inonej there In spite of lapse withdrawals
trom tho market by tha bank points to n-
early leductlon in tho bank of Englands
rale Tho opening prices of stocks here
proved in most ases to be tho highest
The weakness of he steel group which
began from the opening roved a disap-
pointment for those speculators who had
hoped thit the group would assume the
leadership of j new advance in prices be
tauee of the strength shown by the Icadlni
steel stnks lato yesterdiay Ycpcrdays ad
van e proved sufticient to brng in buying
oiile3 and the speculative bacKers of the
rtocks seemed ndlsposed to otter very vigor-
ous support The coterie witch bought stucKs
on iMonoay was Ted ted with heavy selling
to realize aud theic were large Felling ot
Crrs all day wbch were attributed to Chi-
cago account
lbo reported llliiesa of the largest Individ-
ual operator in the street and who has beer
supposed to bo long of slocks had considera-
ble inlluene on sentiment but he real basis
ot the retctlon was the failure to attract any
renewed outsde speculation as clearly dem-
onstrated by the marked deelne In the ac-
tivity In tha market Some attention was
given to the reports of fr non between
the Enslish and Russian admirals In Chinese
waters The dayB stateaient of treasury
operations reflected the payments on account
or Kdd withdrawn from the assay offices
for export iwhlrh more than wiped out too
weeks previous gain by the hanks A notable
tenure of the current money situation Is
the heavy reflux of National bank notes
