Influence Prices."
NEW T4ORK. Jan. 2.1. Two well-defined
movements of diverse character today gave
tha stock market a nervous and unsettled
tone.
Following the general advance In Ixindon.
tha local market opened strong and buoy
ant; but before midday thla position wss re.
versed. A eelllng movement met with little
realstance until all the morning gains were
lost. Buying at the bottom steadied the
market somewhat and doting the remainder
of the day trading was dull at prices slight
ly above the lowest.
Vntted States Steel was made the pivot of
bull operations In the morning on a revivsl
of reports of trsde Improvement, especlslly
in connection with the advance in the price
of wire products.
Iter in the day T'nited states Stool waa
uaed effectively as the center of operations
In a bear movement when word came from
Washington that n resolution contemplating
an Inquiry Into the steel corporation's affairs
waa receiving consideration In the House.
Word that no action had been taken on the
resolution helped to steady prices In the
late trading.
December reports of the Lehigh Valley
and the Pittsburg. Cincinnati. Chicago and
St- I.oula Railroads, which showed further
substantial decreases In net earnings, exer
cised a depressing Influence, while reports
of an Impending decision In the Union Pa-ciflc-4iouthern
Pacific merger case were used,
to sell those shares.
A better Inquiry for 60 and fo days loans
was reported with no change of rates. For
eign exchange waa firm, demand sterling

SEATTLE. Jan. 23. (Spectal.l The
lump In egga continued today with In
creased vigor. The market was absolutely
without etipport and under rather moderate
receipts, the price dropped to 32 cents. S
cents under Saturday's lowest quotation.
Local ranch eggs are now 3 cents lower
than a year ago.
The butter market is In a turmoil. One
of the largest creamery men In the city is
endeavoring to cut prices, but other manu
facturers declare the supply does not war
rant a reduction at this time.
Over-production of condensed milk and
the fact that condensed milk Is piling up
in the warehouses is largely responsible for
the fight that has developed in the butter
trade.
The onion market was very firm. Prices
have not as yet been advanced to meet the
rise In Oregon, but most houses are endeav.
orlng to obtain the full $2.50 price.
Potatoes were steady at last week's prices.
Country advices indicate that farmers are
extremely bullish In their viewn. notwith
standing that they are having difficulty In
getting rid of their potatoes.
Thirty-one carloads of hay arrived today,
the heaviest day's receipts of the year. The
hay market Is badlv demoralized and prices
are belns cut on all sides. Oats, wheat and
barley were In fair demand at last week s
prices.

In connection with the burning- of the

sent for her with a warrant charging
her with burning of the Shook home
