Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, February Blower prices
in the foreign market were duplicated in
the local trading during the first hour this
morning. The situation in the east had
depressing influence on the European
markets, but nothing beyond fractional con-
cessions resulted from apprehension in this
particular. Routine developments were not
of sufficient importance to materially
change market values. The volume of bus
mess was small and almost wholly profess
sional In character
On American Sugar. however, the early
weakness was due to liberal selling by COM
mission houses. The publication Of the new
tariff schedule Is expected during the COM
ing week, and today's selling is believed
to have been based on the probable rates
Of the new schedule. The declining move
ment was not uninterrupted. the buying on
the decline being exceptionally good.
This Willingness to buy resulted in a COW
ering movement later in the day. which
fully restored the early loss. The wis
dom of higher prices on the eve of a stren-
uous tariff struggle is almost generally
doubted, bat thus far manipulation for the
decline has been premature.
Some sales of Chicago Gas and Manhat
tan attracted attention. although the causes
for both movements are perfectly familiar
in market circles, The general dullness of

pressing tactics of the room. but the larger
interests were not, apparently, concerned
with the current tendency of prices. In
the bond market the buying of fIorthern
Pacific bonds was the feature
A well-developed plan to control the traf-
fic between the eastern and western sea-
boards Is believed to be the incentive to
the recent acquisition of these securities.
Should this surmise prove to be correct
the sale of the Union Pacific under the
government lien will not be so thoroughly
