Cattle Packers" were Ut"(or"even sharper
declines than those In force yesterday, mak
ing, early bids on steer anywhere from lOo
to 25c lower, and. In the case of some of
the good heavy stuff even mors than that.'
Trains were alt late and half of the cattle
ware still back by 10 o'clock. What sales
had beon made up to this time were mainly
1001(0 lower , than yesterday, or close to
25o lower .than last, week. Butcher stock
appeared to show -fully as sharp a decline
as beef. Buyers came- out late and not a
great deal had been done, but they wefe
tB Iking 25c lower in lots of cases and prac
tically ths only sales mad early were ot
the eonimon kinds. . Even ths stockers and
feeders suffered a slight reaction today. Bad
weather last year and a heavy snowstorm
which started her this morning checked
the outside demand and what sales were
made early; while steady with last week,
were a Hula lower than-yesterday, ;

Wall Street . Fails to Take
Kindly to President's State
ment of War Aims; De

New York, Jan. 8 As measured In terms
of security values, Wall Street did pot
take kinilly to the president's comprehen
sive stntoment of war alms as set forth
in his vnespecied messsge to congress
jodsy. Stqck declined. The iddress ss
viewed by (Inaneial Interests offered little
hope of an early solution of the many
grave problems now tngaglng the atten
tion of this country and Its associates In
ihe war.
Previous to Its delivery In fact through
out the forenoon and during the early
mld-itessien prices were 1 to 8 points
hlKhur In th several groupe of peace
and war shires and considerably higher In
certain specialities.
For example American Tobaoco made
an extreme gain of 14 points, presumably
In connection with the ststed retention of
Its exhaling dividend rate, and Texas Com
pany advanced (Vi points.
Various other speculative Issues received
much of their upward Imrtilse from the
decision of ths supreme court setting aside
ths federal Ineome tax on stork (llvldenda.
Immediately after publication ef the sa
lient features of the president's address
the list began to a" ott. reacting I to I
points under lead of IT, S. Steel and In
vestment rails.
The decline- was desultory at first but
became- weak before the Close, th market
showing little recuperative power at the
finish. Sales amounted te 776,000 shares.
