Deoline Due to Realizing Sales and a Bear Attack, New York, Jan, 16.—The strong up- ward movement in stocks of the last few sessions was checked loday. The Tise has attained proportions sufficient to order handsome profits on long stock and the market felt the influence of realizing sales. Traders believed a reaction was due and thers was re- newed short selling. Fluctuations were irregular. In the early hours the tendency of the favorite speculative stocks "was downward. While the movement was narrow, a few issues, including Union Pacific, Reading and New York Central, sold off a point, In the afternoon the market stiffened and losses were eliminated, but in the last half hour the list dipped downwand again. Reading, Union Pacific, Lehigh Valley and Canp led the late decline, Although selling for both accounts was on a large scale at times, the market betrayed no distinct weakness, Hesitation among the leaders was off- set partially by strength of many less | active shares.

Edward Barrow, president of the In- ternational league, while declining to discuss in detail the report that the minor organfzation which he heads might be made a third major league as a means of offsetting the Federal league movement, declared the report was “far from absurd.” “The proposition is not improbable,” he said. “It was discussed at the re- cent meeting in Chicago.

New York, Jan. 16—It was declared here tonight on apparently good au- thority that the Federal league has dropped Buffalo and Toronto and will place teams in Cincinnati and Wash- ington instead.
