Market in Again 1y Pevoted to Obscure Spee NEW YORK, Feb. %.—Today's stock market was again largely devoted 1o ob- scure specialties, both in the raiiroad and industrial list. Most of these showed ad- vances and the entire lack of explanat of the movementis pointed to manipulation by speculative pools. Some of those which have advanced heretofore undergoing @ process of profit-taking, and the relapses thus caused were sometimes exceedingly sharp. Thus an advance of 2% in 8t Joseph & Grand Island was abruptly wiped out by two or three sales at the last, which carried the stock a fraction below I night, and the first preferred, after risin 1y, rélapsed 3. A slmilar abrupt dip wa t night by Chicago, Indlanapolls & e and that stock moved up 1%, but lost most of it. The minor stocks, which_were stron today, included the Duluth, South Shore Atlantic stocks, the Ann Arbor stocks, Fort Worth & Denver City stamped, the Chicago Terminal stocks, Chicago Great Western, Kansas City Southern preferred, the Ameri, Anseed _stocks, Glucos: Amerfcan Rubber Goods, Grass Twin: TwintCity Rapld Transit, Westinghouse Electde common and first preferred, and General Electric. Gains in this group ran from 1 to.5 points. There were losses of from 1 to 2 points in profit-taking In a number of similar stocks and National Salt Went down several points from its last sale. There was a_desultory speculation here and there among the high-priced in- dustrials and In one or two groups as a Whole, but the movements were of little significance and the tone of the market was at_all times mixed and irregular. Amalgamated Copper and Sugar were in- clined to heaviness, the first on reports that the purchase of a mine reported terday had been given undue significance and the latter on the shading of prices on refined sugar. Amalgamated Copper rose suddenly a point over last night at the last. Brooklyn Transit was notably strong. The short interest seemed 40 be intimi- dated by the latge borrowing demand for the stock, which has been eupposed to b for voting purposes to the coming meeting. The iron and steel industries were in good demand on trade conditions, but an abrupt reaction In Tennessee Coal at the last which carried it below last night, affected the others In the group. The most notable movement of the day was in Lackawanna, which was lifted 8 points as a result of the § Showing in the annual report. coalers responded moderately. In the Readings the speculative was o) buying the second preferred, 'lhfig selling the common. The basis of the speculation in_these stocks s the supposition that the second referred is to be converted one-half into Yho common and one-half Into the first preferred, which would fix the value of the second preferred midway between those of the common and first preferred. The strength of the specialties kept the general undertone firm, but the dealings in the stocks of the great railroad companies re- flected no convinced opinfon on the pros- pect of any great changes in future condis tions. The bond market was falrly rm. _ Total sales, par value, , 445, nited States new 4s advanced 3 per cent on _the last call.

CATTLE—There was not &.v run of cattle here today for & Tuesday, but still the supply 1or the two days this about the same as It was for the s all seemed , 80 there was lively and strong from the start on all dseirable grades. Ofterings did_not include a very heavy percentage of beef steers and as the de- mand was active the market was strong. The better grades were, of course, picked up first, still even the commoner grades sold without much trouble at fully as good prices as were pald yesterda Owing to_ the limited offerings the pe were cleared in good season. A heavy demand was éxperienced again togay fof the better grades of cows and heifers. Anything that was good enough to sell from 4.0 up was sold as fast as offered at prices that looked stronger than those paid yesteraay. There was not so much change in the medium grades and canners, but still they sold for fully as much as they did yesterday, and most everything was disposed of in good season. Bulls, veal calves and stags all seemed to be in good demand where the quality was satistactory, but the prices did not show much change from yesterday. There were only & few stockers and feeders in the yards this morning and as the demend was of quite Liberai propor- tions sellers had no dificuity in selling out at very satistactory prices. The better ades were undoubtedly stronger, while e common kinds were’ fully steady and s0ld more Ireely than_usual. ales: tive salef pEmF STEERS. Av. Fr.

The general market could sately be quoted 5@l0c lower. On the start a few of the choicest bunches Il but very little lower than yes. . but aside from those sales the gen- eral market was 5@llc lower, the greatest decline being on the lightweight stuff. The heavy hogs sold largely from .9 (o $6.1> and ‘as high as $6.20 was paid, which is the same as yesterday's top. The medium weights went largely from 3.8 to $.95 and the light stuff went from 3.8 down. Ow- Ing 1o the heavy receipts sellers found it \'er;" hard to dispose of thelr underweight stuff, buyers could get enough of the heavier hogs to fill their more urgent or- ders.

Packers all seemed to be anxious for good stuft and were out early, so that the market was active from the start, and the desirable grades sold about as fast as they were unloaded. The general ket Could safely be quoted strong and some sales were undoubtedly 10c higher. That was particularly true of ewes. Lambs today sold high as $6.65, yearlings brought $.60, wethers $5.25 and ewes $4.60. There were not enough feeders in the yards this morning to make a test of the market, but it is safe to say that anything 800d would have sold at fully steady prices. uotations: Cholce lightwelght yeariin $5.50@5.76; good to cholce. yearlings, $5. 5.50; choice wethers, $4.90@6.10; fair to wethers, $4.60@4.90; ‘cholce ewes, $4.30@1. fair to good ewes, $4.00@4.25; common ew $3.0004.00; choice ‘lambs, $6.50@6.75; fair t od lambs, $6. feeder wethers, $4.00 4.50; feeder lambs, $4.50@6.00.
