Announcement of Proposed Capital
Increase Has Bad Effect
on the Market.
NEW YORK. Jan. 12. The stock market
waa more or less unsettled all day by rea
son of the heavy aelllng of Pennsylvania
sharee. following yesterday's aanouncement
that the directors had proposed to ths stock
holders an Increase of ln. 000.000 In the
company's capitalisation. The action of the
directors gave rise to Xears that slmliar
steps might soon be taken by other roads,
with a resultant congestion of the securities
market. ,
Pennsvlvanla sold to 125 a loes of 84
points from the previous day's high price
on a total of transactions much In excess
of any recent day.
Industrial shares were fairly steady under
the lead of United Statea Steel, which waa
affected favorably by reporta that opera
tions are soon to be resumed at one of the
corporatlon'a largest plants, aa well as the
decision of the leading manufacturers to
maintain existing prices.
Taking the market as a whole, the clos
ing prices were near the best of the day.
A further receasion In futures on copper
was shown In the London market and there
were reporta df slight price shadings here,
but they lacked official confirmation. It
waa rumored that large exports of the
metal were under negotiations, but the day's
developments In the local copper market
gave no Indication of this.
Tha St. Paul report for November showed
a decrease of over $760,000 In net earnings.
The Putcel Sound division of the system
showed a net Increase for the same period
of $124. 000. Net returns of three score
representatives lines for November show a
derreaae .In net of 5.52 per cent.
Bonds w-ere Irregular. Total sales, par
value $2,240,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
