The announcement that the Carnegie Trust Company had been closed by the state de partment of banking caused some local and Wall Street selling, how ever, and shortly after the opening active months eased off to a net loss of 2 to 3 points. Byut there was no Important liquidation, the failure having evidently bee nexpect- ed and later In the morning prices ruled firm and some 7 to 8 points higher on bull support and covering by shorts.

New York Stocks Nev,’- York, Jan. 7.— The market opened heavy under an active selling movement in which all the leading shares participated. There was a sale of 8,000 shares of Reading at from 153 1-2 to 153 1-4 compared with 154, yes terday’s closing, and 3,700 shares of U. S. Steel at 73 3-4 to 73 1-2 against 74 1-8 yesterday. Elsewhere losses ran from 1-2 to 3-4 with an exceptional de cline of 1-4 in Canadian Paclflc and 1 in Union Pacific. The announcement ol' the closing of the Carne.gie Trust Company was made just as the market opened. The market received influential backing as soon as the closing of the Carnegie Trust Company became gen erally known and self-supporting or ders were quickly distributed, which stopped the decline. Reading, which had been one of the weakest fea tures, v.'as marked up from 153 1-3 to 154 1-2, placing it 1-2 above yester day’s close. Consolidated Gas also scored a similar recovery but the rest of the list fell a trifle short of making up all its losses. The market closed strong. The short interest took alarm at the substantial character of the buying or ders and l)id for stocks, eagefly to re tire their contracts. The demand was especially urgent for Reading, which climbed to 156, a rally from the lowest of the morning of almost 3 points. Bal timore & Ohio and the local gas stocks were also bid up aggressively and there was a further jump of 4 points in Ignited Railways and Investment. Generally speaking the market shov.^ed a good rise over the final prices of yesterday, with tho inquiry dread and conipi’ehenslve and on a large sca'e for both accounts. New York Slock List.

Cables were favor able butb rokers had a considerable number of .selling orders to fill, ap parently coming chiefly from iiquidat- ing longs, and the market was held down by them. The report of a bank failure iu New York had no effect. After the call more strength was displayed, buying becoming general around the ring and priccs advanced until at the end of the first halt hour of business tho trading months were 5 points over yesterday’s close. From the early trading on the mar ket was very steady. Offerings were scanty and came almost v.iiolly from longs who were selling out because of the holiday in this market Monday and the census report on ginning that will be issued the first thing Tuesday morn ing. The fact that Interior stocks lost 20,000 bales this week was made much of and was taken as an Indication of approaching crop exhaustion in some sections of the cotton belt. At the high est of the session prices were 8 points over yesterday's close. The market closed steady at a net advance of 6 points. Receipts 9,095; stock 250.346. Opening New Orleans Futures.

New York, Jan. 7.—Bradstreet’s today says: Country-wide cold weather, espe cially severe in the West and South, has stimulated demand for heavy winter wearing apparel, and, combin ed with usual clearance sales, has made for a rather better than aver age final distribution of seasonable goods. In wholesale lines holiday invento ries have been completed and sales men are again on the road. Reports from jobbers are of a quite optimistic feeling as to spring trade, and good sales of goods adapted to retail clearance sales are reported. In industry quiet still rules. Iron and steel are dull and pig iron stocks are accumulating. The leather trades are quiet and reports of a widespread stoppage of work in tan neries give firmness to stocks of fin ished material. Cotton goods are quiet in primary markets and year- end reviews of the 1910 results are disappointing as a whole. Business failures in the United States for the week ending January 5, were 281, against 251 last week and 271 In the like week of 1910. Legislative Muddle In Tennessee By Associated Press. Nashvill*.
