Deliveries of mer chandise was greatly impeded. Burlaps were flnmer and raw silk unchanged. Dress goods Were high wltii offerings for fall much reduced. NEW YORK. Jan. 7. The sluggish course of today's stock market douhttess resulted mainly from adverse wftuher condition which matertHlly reduced busi ness with important western and south western centers. Happenings over the week-end received favorable Interpretation in the main, es pecially the war alma of Great Hrltaln a denned by Lloyd-George. Advices re garding the Russian situation alwo of fered fresh encouragement. The order of uie interstate commerce commission re- aueetine; railroads to file estimates of elr financial requirements wae in ac oord with pending legislation bv congress. but railway shares were often reaction ary, wnen not neavy. Additional statements of railroad earn ing proved disappointing and reports from leading terminals disclosed less than normal movement of traffic for such Im portant commodities as grains, livestock and lumber. Industrials moved within narrow limits until the final hour, when fairly larg buying of steels, coppers and shippings effected a general rally. United States Steel rose almost ( points from Its low. closing a fraction under its maximum at Special stocks, notably those owing their activity to noois, were irregular, but ended with rallied. Including Pullman, which had registered an extreme loss of over six points. Sales amounted to 620. 000 shares. Sound Investment conditions were de noted by the speedy absorption of 840, 000,000 American Telephone six per cent notes, offered at a seven par cent yield. The only feature of the irre-ulu.r bond market was the further decline In Lib erty 4's from 94.M to the nut minimum of 94.42. the 3's selling st 98.84 to 98.72. imnea states Donaa old issues were unchanged on call.

Cotton stood at a net advance throughout the session here today and displayed a firm under tone, but little husirmss w. rt.vn. n aggressive trading came from anv quar ter. i us main sui-npning influences were bullish expectations' concerning the cen sus bureau report-o ginning due Wed nesday rooming. tb bullish Interpreta tion placed on the latest utterances from Lloyd-George and the continued favor. able account from the spoi market. Opening at the advance the market grad ually worked up to a net gain of 28 to 24 points.
