NEW YORK, Feb. 17-Prlces of slocks
rose further today, although It waa a
noticeable fart that Reading, which made
up more than one-third of the aggregate
dealings yesterday, was pressed for sale
sUadlly In realizing profits on tho sharp
rise yesterday. There was no one stock as
prominent today as was Reading yesterday,
but the large congestion of dealings In
Union Pacific and United States Steel and
the aggressive upward movement of those
stccks carried out the Indication of largo
professional participation In the transac
tions which made up the body of the
market.
Another fact pointing to the same conclu
sion was the manner in which new Inter-
C relations were pluced on facts that have
een public knowledge for some time. This
applied particularly to the view taken of
the expected supreme court decisions bear
ing on the anti-trust law.
Reassuring views of the iron and steel
trade from a trade authority as the ex
pressed conviction that the lull In demand
was due as much to obstructions to de
liveries by weather blockades of freight as
to any falling orf In consumptive demand
was a sustaining Influence In United States
Meel and by sympathy to other stocks.

NEW YORK. Feb. 17. The cotton mark.
opened steady at unchanged prices to an
advance of 6 points, which was not a full
response to relatively itrm cables, and soon
sold off to a net loss of 6010 Points under
overnight selling orders, a renewal of local
oear pressure ana general liquidation.
There waa a little foreign buying on the
call, but the demand from this source waa
restricted by tha poor cable service and
beyond ooverlng by shorts on scale-down
there appeared to be no support.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle at this point
continue very moderate, the total for the
four days showing a considerable falling
off as compared with last week, but fully
equal to the record of a year ago. Other
market points also showed moderate re
ceipts. The light offerings, combined with
a very good buying demand, created not
only a higher, but a very active market.
Packers all wanted beef steers and they
were out in the yards early in the morning
bidding right and left with .he reeult that
everything in sight was disposed of -before
11 o'clock In the morning. The prices paid
were fully 10c higher, and In some cases
as much as IBc higher. Pretty decent kind
of steers sold up to 16.76, but- there was
nothing strictly choice- on sale with which
to make a test of the market.
Cows and heifers - kept pace with beef
steers, showing the same advance and the
same activity. Good cornfed cows sold as
high as 35.50.
Stackers and feeders were snapped up
about as quickly as . buyers could get to
them at prices quite a little stronger than
yesterday. Some good yearlings sold as
high as S6.46. '

HOG9 Hogs crossed the -cent mark this
morning amid a turmoil of buying excite
ment, but the demand quickly cooled and
after first rouij) packers would hardly
look at offering. Reports of wild markets
in the east gave local sellers some pretty
lofty Ideas of valuation at the opening,
and the first fifty loads of receipts were
weighed up at figures lolic higher than
yesterday. Later train were heavily
laden with hog, however, and in market
parlance the trade flattened out completely
as above noted.
The late market continued very slow
and dull and with about 10c of the early
morning's advance lost. This means that
the late market was only about 6c higher
than yesterday. Packers seemed to feel
that prices were too high and they did not
appear anxious for the hogs at current
figures. Thu it happened that the trade
was very dull as noted above. The late
sales were largely at 8..'t.as,sv.
A considerable portion of receipts sold
from S8.80 to 88. 86, as compared with yes
terday's bulk of f8.70ft8.80. Tops reached
89.06. This price is not only 15o higher
than the best price previously paid at this
point, but the average coat la also the
highest in in nisiory or the local trade,
The best price paid yesterday. I: will b
remembered, was 88.80, am. tne outside
price a week ago, 88. 7a
