Market Shows Strength In Spite of
Professional C ontrol.
NEW YORK. Feb. 4 Yfsterday s level
ot ... ,,vi.) ,. ,,,hm waj ptrit v..'il main
tained and there was evidence of consider
able strength In the niarket. The opera
lions seemed to be conMmd still to profes
sional hands, but the lesdershlp was ag
gressive and better organised ihun for some
time past and there was evidence of the
control of large resources by th se opern
tlons. It was the theory of vric hnnrd room
operalors that the action of the market
was largely due to the foregathering ot a
number of well known stocK operators nt
a southern resort ahunila illy supplied with
special wire s.rvlce. Included In the gather
ing is the operator whose name hna been
associated with the principal stock market
sensations for many months past. What
ever the source ot (he buying, the move
ment wss spotty and Irnguiar and the
earlier movements were not well main
tained. The operations In Reading were on
a growing scale during the day and It be
came euslly the Itadtr of tne market In
the late dealings with n rise of over 2 points
above last nialit. There was no news to
explain the movement beyond the heavy
earnings known to be accumulating In the
treasuries of all the coal carrying railroads.
Announcement was made toaay on several
postponed steamship railings on account of
delay in securing coal. This was accepted
as illustrating the universal pressure for
this product. Whatever the advantage of
such a condition to the coal carrying rail
roads. It was not considered favornDle to
the Industrial siiuatlon at large.
Html. official contirmation was given to
the report that the Union Paeltic and Rock
Island had been brought together In soma
sort of an agreement assuring mutual ad
vantage by Interchange of traffic. Nothing
could be learned as to the scope of the
sgreement, but the report was accepted that
a substantial step In Hie community of lnter
1 st was taken which will avoid furture dam
aging competition. The publication of this
ic-port was probably the the cause of revived
rumors that ihe proposed merger of Oould
railroad properties was almost ready for
announcement. The stocks of various com
panies, affected by thtao rumors, were not
amongst tho speculative leaders of tho
day. There was an opening spurt In Rock
Island, but the stock fell back almost im
mediately nr.d was more steady for the
rest of the day. Union Pacific was Arm,
but not active, and Southern Pnclllo rose
a point In the late dealings. The rise In
St. Paul waa supposed to be traceable to
the same source as that In Reading.
The strength In Erie common was only
moderate, but the preferred stock, espe
cially the second preferred, madt better
advances. Amalgamated Copper ct ntlnued
to rise on account of the belter sentiment
in the copper trading.
Yesterday's sudden movement In 1 ilted
States Steel stocks was not follor ,d up
iMiv nnd those, stocks were lncl'.ied to
drat. Thla fact and tne failure of tho
Rock Island stocks to retain tneir opening
gains threw the market Into hesitation
and uncertainty, but the rise In Reading
and gains by a miscellaneous assortment
of minor stocks had a somewhat reassuring
effect.
Money continued tasy and exchange firm,
without affecting the ateel market. The
closing was qultt and steady.
Bonds were steady, with total snlett. par
value, 13 475,000. United States 2a declined
per cent on the last call.

which. In connection ith modtTate com
mission houpp buying, presumably for tho
long account, closed the market rte.idy at
a net advance of 9 nolntx. Tnklng Into
eonsldcrutlnn the shonlng made by Liver

more than our closing yesterday, the clos
liif,' of the local market wus very steady,
particularly In view of the large receipts,

ccmpared with 2ii.40K bales Instf year. The
Houston ertlm.ttcs also were heavy, being
ntarly three times that of the actual last
ytnr. but the shorts showed no very great
disposition to operate nsgresslveiy and
commission houses had buying orders, sup
poped to originate largely with the south,
where the relative firmness of the spot
market Is a faction In the sentiment. Esti
mates for tomorrow's receipts a' New Or
leans and Galveston proved tilsippolntlng
to th bears, being smaller than expected,
though still slightly In excess of the actual
figures lant year. They were tuttlclent to
start a wave of buying In New Orleans,
which carrlud values up sharply and

CATTLE Owing to the delay In the ar
rival of trains there were not over slxtv
cars of cattle on sale at the opening of
the market this morning. Trains kept ar
riving all day. however, so that by noon
tho receipts were as liberal as could be
expected considering the condition of the
weather.
The beef steer market was not nearly as
brisk today as it was yesterday, for buyers
na longer feared a rhortage of cattle. It
was late before there wer enough offered
to make a market, and to much about
the market today, for th" - son that in
the scramble to :6t o';i" f- '-rday some
fancy prices were pi a.ia s a result
the market today looked all t.te way from
lower to higher. As compared with Mon
day, however, prices are a little stronger.
There was nothing strictly choice offered
today, so that the top price Is not nearly as
high.
The cow market was In much the same
condition as the trade on steers. In some
placea the market was stead', while In
others It was barely steady. Trading was
not as brisk as It was yesterday,, but still
the bulk of the early arrivals was disposed
of In fairly good season.
Bulls, veal calves and stags did not show
much of any change from yesterday.
The stocker and feeder market was again
active and stru.ig. Speculators seemed to
be anxious for cattle, and as there were
very few (seders on sale they bought a
good inanv warmed up and half-fat cornf.
cattle at higher prlcea than the puek.T
wouM f've. Thev only bought tht 1
