buying OF railroad stocks showed some falling
off in the course Of to-day after a notably
active opening and early buying movements
But the demand sprung up again in the last
half hour Of the trading in full force and car
red prices Of the railroads to the highest of
the day. New York Central was again the
center Of interest in the market and il was
