BEAKS COVEB SHORT CONTRACTS lloek Islaa4 Iaaaea Advaaee Abaa. alaainrnt of Talk A boat Re relrershlD Boa is A re Irregalar. NEW YORK, Feb. 4 Operations In stocks fell to the point of stagnation today, 'there waf, a light demand during tne carlv part of the day, centering in a few stocks and coming from only a few broker age houses, whicii have been active sellers for the last few daye, supposedly on tile short side of the market. The slight effect on prices produced by the developments which were regarded as unfavorable' recently prompted the bears to cover their short contracts. There was at the same time a cessation of the acme weakness In special stocks, which have proved disquieting recently, and also of the reports current to explain this weak ness and the alleged troublesome fea tures regarding the finances of the com panies. No more was heard of the In tended receivership for. the Rock Island and the securities of that company enjoyed a substantial recovery. There was not much in the news of the day to afford pos itive grounds for a rise In prices. The re opening of the repair and car shops of the New lork Central and Pennsylvania roads waa considered a good sign. The net earn ings report of the Pennsylvania received much attention, and the heavy decrease shown did not depress the stock, princi pally because, rumors had been in circula tion that it would be far more than it proved. The 30 per cent decline-In the net return, compared with December of last year, waa sufficiently formidable, espe cially in view of tire large additions to rhargea on new securities In the interval. The discrepancy is almost wholly due to falling off In gross earnings and the con stant Increase in operating cost, which has been feature of railroad finances for a long time past, has been overcome at last and a decrease, although a nominal one. effected. On the lines of the Pennsylvania company operated west of Pittsburg tills tendency la more marked, quite half the de crease in gross earnings having been offset by the cut In operating expenses. Similar tendencies are looked for in railroad earn ings as a whole in view of the extensive economies put In practice throughout tho railroad world since the slump in traffic. The determination to maintain pricea In the ateel trade, however, la expected to have some effect on railroad economics owing to tha large part played by the consump tive requirements of the railroads In that trade. The suggestion has been made that until tha raJlroads find themselves In funds again by tho revival of the demand for se curltlea, a reducing of prices of equipment material would be found Ineffective to stim ulate demand, and that a reduction, there fore, may be postponed rather than avoided. Statistics of the American Rail way association on Idle cara In the United States and Canada on January 22 placed the number at 330,815, or 15 per tent of the total equipment. The Inference Is that aome S.uuo locomotives- are also Idle and that tho valuation of property thus earning no revenue may be computed at hundreds of millions of dollars. Another source of embarrassment to net economies planned by tho railroads Is the large cost of mov ing empty cars, which Is prompted by the heavy penaltlea attached to retaining cars of other companies which were put In force at the time of car famines resulting from the crush In traffic. The falling off In activity of bonds waa aa marked as in stocks. The tone was tr-regulnr- Total sales, par value, $2,480,000. L nlted States bonds were unchanged on call.
