12. obviously tired. stock market sought refuge in a decline today although the volume of trading was considerably lighter than the turnover on the recent advances, Heaviness of the rails, which had been piloting the New Year rally, together with the failure of TJ. S. Steel to respond to its- favorable unfilled tonnage report were signals for renewed activity by the shorts, who also looked ahead to the unfavorable fourth quarter earnings reports which soon will be appearing in bulk.

After an early sag, the market improved somewhat toward noor but speculative sentiment refused to be stimulated by this rally anc the downward trend was resumed gathering a little momentum as It proceeded. The largest losses were in carrier and specialty shares, although all groups were affected. Atchison, Reading and New York Central sank 4 points, while Erie Delaware Hudson, Baltimore Ohio, Southern Railway and Frisco droped about 3, was also the extent of the decline in West- Inghouse, Allied Chemical, Republic Steel, preferred, and Eastman Kodak. U. s.

Steel, making up an early loss of a point, slipped off again and joined a sizeable group including American Can, Case Auburn Auto, R. II. Macy, Qulf States Steel, Union Pacific and Rock Island, that showed recessions of 2 to 2v'i. There were temporary rallies in a few specialties, notably Gillette and Continental Baking preferred but the small gains were reduced Shell Union Oil preferred soared 1 points. Professional traders who returned to the short side argued that the optimism attendant upon the turn of the year had shown signs of waning and that the market might be snld to have discounted much of the seasonal improvement in business that reappeared so far.

ft was also pointed out there had been no important, corrective reaction In some time and that the reduced short interests had Impaired the technical position. The day's news seemed to exert little Influence on prices. Orders for rails continue to improvement in steel production which, it is believed, will show another increase this week since twine plants are expanding operations. Further cuts in tire prices were announced. Bar Silver rallied half a cent in the New York market.
