THE MARKET ELSEWHERE,

New York, Feb. 2S.-There were aver
age declines of from l to points
among the leading stocks, including
the railways, while in the case of Bur
lington there was an extreme decline Of
Az.
The specialties, although showing
considerable strength at one time, made
extreme declines from the highest
that were generally large. Metropolitan

Steel 2Is st. Louis and San Francisco
second preferred made an extreme dip
of from the top, while Lackawanna
and Atchison preferred figured for
about ~ each, After a break of 5
points, Third Avenue rallied 10, lost 10
points. ending unchanged on the day
In the early trading there was small
buying by London and interests con-
nected with the steel stocks, and also
some purchases of Burlington. Real
izing by commission houses sent prices
off Burlington's decrease of So, 900 in
surplus during January had a depress-
ing effect on the railways being
coupled, as ii was. by realizing in
Atchison on the unfavorable interpreta-
ton given to its January statement
which appeared late yesterday.
The market ralliedo and then de-
clined on talk of possibility of tighter
call money and on the circulation of a
rumor that the Americans had sunk
German cruiser at Manila. There
was a brisk attack on values. stop loss
orders being uncovered and consider
able liquidation was included. Prices
picked up again when 1t became
known that no such disturbing Manila
advices had been received, but specula-
ton became unsettled again with the
renewal of pressure. Sugar, which
showed early strength on reports of
the acquisition Of rival company, sold
off on the denial.
Two things which in a measure would
account for the weakness Of the market
We're that London sold in the after
noon the stock purchased earlier and
that two of the leading interests that
had been prominent on the bull side
were said to be practically out of the
market for the moment and lei some
OF the stocks with which they had been
identified shift for themselves. Many
million dollars worth of American Sc
curities sold by London in previous
weeks reached New York in the past
few days but the agents of some for
eign houses expressed the opinion that
shipments have practically ceased at
least for the present, as sales for for

balanced by purchases, General weak
