The special In fluencj which governed the wide move ments In a handful of stocka today were conflicting In their sympathetic erfect on the general list or, more properly, had a neutralising effect which aggravated the- dullness of the trailing. Dealings were at the point of stagnation between the occasional spurt of moderate activ ity. The most Influential movement In Its genera' effect was that In Coneolldate.l Uaa, In which a renewal of liquidation waa prompted by the publication of the annual report and the pessimistic opin ion expressed In official utterances ac companying It of the earning power of the company under the legal restriction iu bu cents of the price of gas. The price of the stock dropped precipitately over nine points to a lower level than M touched in the slump following the decision of the supreme court against the company. The nr. nettled effect of bo considerable a decline waa manifest In the general list and prices declined aulte comprehensively. The cessation of the urgent liquidation In Consolidated tJas, while It opened the way to some price recovery, left a mar ket chiefly remarkable for Its neglected condition. The desire to await the ap pearance of the quarterly report of the I'nitea . States Steel corporation was a factor In the later dullness. Railroad deal rumors showed vitality and furnished the prlnclpat points of strength In the market. Chesapeake A Ohio passed Into the hands of Interests which but lately marketed successfully the control of the Colorado & Southern, and as the negotiations were made with the banking houae which had taken over the Pennsylvania holdings of this stok it was Inferred that the southern trunk line situation would not be disturbed by the new control, while assumptions of morn liberal policy In the distribution or profits also helped the advance In the stock. At the same time the rumor of the coming control of the Wabash by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western sprang Into new, life and was effective In lifting the preferred stock and the refunding bond.r of the Wabash to a higher level. Atchlaon made a favorable response to the showing of Increased net earnings for December compared with a year ago. The weekly gross earnings of railroads for January, now coming to hand, are oc- CBSlonlng remark by reason of the mod erate betterment shown over January of ltnt year, a month when the depression of the railroad industry had come Into full effect. Money continued to work eaaier In thla market, bot London was somewhat sensitive to a suggestion of renewed Inquiry for gold there on behalf of Parts. Foreign marketa are uneasy oyer the Balkana situation and there was balance of sales over purchase of stocks for London account In New York. Bonds were Irregular.

The market was not as satis factory . as desired by sellers In view of the fact that supplies so far this week are running considerably below the estimates. Packers evidently came to the conclusion that they were paying too much for the hogs and they took the bear side of the deal this morning, with the result that the bulk of the arrivals had to sell at more or less shaded figures. For aims ot the finished grades sellers were able o secure right at steady figures ana fro is that basis sales ran on down to at least 6c lower than yesterday. The tops sold up to $6.30 today, aa against a top yesterday of $6.S2H. While the bulk today went at 16 9" 8.16, aa against $590tu''6.20 yesterday. The market dragged more or less throughout tha morning and closed rather dull and weak at the basis noted.

KB CATTLE Receipts of cattle were comparatively light and there waa more or less Improvement In the quality of the of ferings, although strictly choice beeves were very scarce. As was the case yes terday the dressed beef men were out early and apparently had good orders to fill, so that they took freely and bids and rale were generally strong Ul 10c higher than yesterday, or pretty cloae to 26c higher than the cloae of last week. The general tone to the trade was belter all around and a comparatively early clear ance waa made. The inquiry for rows and heifers waa good and prlcea were pretty close to higher than yesterday for anything at desirable In this .line. Outalde buyera were making Inquiry for tha good grades, while all the local ackera were In the market for supplies and the trade was brisk from the trt to finish, the market being pretty close to 26e higher than tha close of last' week. Common and canning grades were not in very good demand and pr-es showed little change one way or the other. There was a good demand for ktockera and feeder and prices were atrong all around. Both yard traders and country buyers took the fleshy and warmed-up grades at better prices than the killers would pay and the volume ot business was larger than It bss been for some time past. Common, light aturf met with a very Indifferent Inquiry and prlcea were vrry uneven, hut hardly, quotably different from what they have been of late.
