NEW YORK, Jan. 4. A further advance
In prices was recorded on the stock ex
change today. The movement at the outset
was fairly broad and Indicated that Ve
market was recovering from Its recent spell
of depression, also that an Important bull
clique had the situation well In hand.
Transactions In United States Steel
amounted to 1S7.000 share or over 25 Per
cent of the whole, and next In order were
Reading and Union Pacific,
It is generally conceded that the welfare
of the United States Steel Corporation Is not
dependent upon the personality of Its titular
head, and this, with rumors of a goott
showing for the fourth quarter of last year,
was responsible for today's movement In the
shares. , ,
Realizing for profits and a Tenewal oi
bearish operations and an unexpected ad
vance In call money to 6 per cent during
the last hour resulted In a general setback.
In the course of which the greater part of
the day's advances were wiped out.
The London markets were hesitating ana
narrow, with a check in the movement in
South African shares, but with a strength
in copper Transactions here for London
account were probably less than 5000 share
mainly purchases of Union Pacific and
Amalgamated Copper.
Numerous railroad reports for November
were submitted, including those of the lead
ing lines In the New York Central system
most of which were unfavorable. The total
for all lines for November shows a loss in
operating income of $2,20,000. For the
year 1910 the total decrease In operating In
come aggregates $3,173,000.
The bond market was unusually broaa
and active, with business the largest of any
dav In some week Total sales, par value.
