Reading was a c some positive strength, which was attributed | to the expectation of a favorable showing on February net earnings. The renewed advance | in the London copper market led to a revival of the demand for Amalgamated Copper. The recovery in the Pacifies was followed by the | announcement that the specalative pool in | Southern Pacific had been extended from April | 8 the original date of its maturity, 10. Speculative sentiment seemed much confused by this announcement as by the | previous moves on the part of the pools. It | has been feared that the coming dissolution of the pool would lead to the throwing over of some heavy offerings of stocke. On the other | hand its continuance will invelve the further | tying up of large credit. The extension also | has (he tendency to increase the weight from i | & stock market standpoint of the litigation ex- | on behalf of the pool of the Union Pa- eific control of Southern Pacific. Some favor- | able effect was produced by the conference un- | dertaken between the officials and employes of New Haven system for an adjustment of | the tabor dleput | Money was “somewhat easier. with 6 per cen | the maximum rate for call loans and a decided | softening of the market after the principal de- | { mand had been met.
