MARKETS Do NOT CHANGE

New York, Feb. 2-Continued irreg
ularity characterized the dealings in
the stock market to-day. The trading
was upon fairly active scale, and, as
was to be expected in the general cir
cumstances of the market it reflected
both extensive realizing sales and some
little fresh commission house and
clique buying
There was practically nothing of SUI

stocks, Baltimore AID Ohio, ontario
and Western, Union Pacific and North
ern Pacific issues being gInotable exam
pies. Actual liquidation was entirely
missing from the market, although, as
noted, profit taking was general and
extensive The dealings here for for
eign account We're upon IA scale that in
dicated q decided awakening of specu-
lative interest. % .
Trading in the new Union Pacific pre-
ferred stock and per cent bonds began
regularly on the stock exchange to-day,
and there We're large transactions in
the first named. Purchases of Ontario
and Western for foreign account ad-
vanced that stock, and it's activity was
attended by reports that the stock
would be exchanged into West Shore
issue on basis of four hundred shares
of the stock for $4,000 in West Shore
bonds. 1t seems somewhat eXtraordi-
nary that the undertaking Of reorgani-
zation proceedings should lead to a de-
mand for Baltimore and Ohio stock,
but no better reason was assigned for
the advance III that case. When the
holders of the stock realize the extent
TO which they viii be asked to contrib
ute TO the rehabilitation of the stocks
there may be a difference.
New York Central advanced in the
forenoon, but later lost ground. The
