New YJRK, Feb. o.-There was a reaction
from the severe depression of yesterday on tho

were generally a fraction higher, but the i'm

rest of the list was light.
II the week tn stock market has been dull,
the sales aggregrating only 7l7.SO0 shares.
Tho tendency in the main was downward.
prices beginning to sag the very first day OF
the week, the depression being largely due to
the delay in announcing the Government bond
issue. other factors in the heaviness OF specu-
laton were the defeat OF the Union Pacific
funding bill in thu House OF Representatives
and the unfavorable statements of earnings of
western roads. The defeat OF the Springer bill
in the House assisted to depress prices slightly,
but the street had largely discounted the re-
suit.
The bond market was quiet today, the sales
aggregatng only $40 900 Some of the usual.
