Result of Room Traders Drives
Against the Market.

New York, Feb 9.-While the trading in
the stock market today was lacking IN the
snap that characterized il in January. i
furnished further ind.cat ons that ths II
eral reaction in prices had for the time
eliminated. At all events the tone OF the
market Was firm. and some stocks ad-
vanced rather amartly. The dealings at
large showed an entire absence Of outside
pressure and The occasional recessioGs in
prices were wholly the result of room
traders drives against the market. Gene
ally considered. the course Of prices Was
I: continuation OF the recovery that set in
yesterday afternoon, and il was equally the
result Of simple technical market c.rcuin-
stances. The frnness of the general nar-
ket was the more noteworthy in view OF
the pending triple holiday. together with
the fact thar the weekly bank statement
Will be published during the sUsp- nsion OF
business. The situation in the Philippines
seemed TO be regarded with the same uu-
concern that has been accorded ii since the
present acute state Of things developed,
and on the other hand it did not appear
that the ratification of the Treaty OF Peace
was & continuing influence in the market.
In short to account for the general ten
dency of the market, il was necessary to
revert TO the investment and technical cir
tenIion last month.
The extreme wintry weather prevailing
throughout the country was held accounta-
bic for both the advance in wheat and the
strength of the anthracite coal shares in
the stock market. The dealings footed up
the smallest total in some time. though al
the opening and during the forenoon the
trading was quite animated. The granger
shares were the leaders of the railway list
IN respect Of activity, with Burlington and
Quincy the conspicuous feature, but the
early substantial gains in this group were

stocks OF the Southern Railway and the
Pacifics were duh but firm. Manhattan

patton of a definite announcement as TO
the companys plans. Irregular move
menjs occurred in the industrial stocks
and the specialties. The Steel and Wire
and the Federal Steel shares were firm.
while American Tobacco and Sugar Rein
ing declined. the latter on renewed talk of
unfavorable trade conditions and endan-
gered dividend There was no additional
information obtainable in regard TO vari-
Gus important developments believed 10 be

combination OF interests and management
between the roads. Chesapeake and Ohio
has been associated with these two lines in
the gossip, but ii was weak in the trading
yesterday, closing very near the recent low
price. The earnings of the Chicago, In
dianapolis and Louisville have been in the

some prospect of dividend.

The rally in Reading first preferred was
not kept up. The runner of a dividend OF
per cent on the stock seems TO have been
entirely without foundation. The earn
ings of the road have been good and the
dividend could be paid undoubtedly, but

New Jersey Central was one of the

Several matters and conditions OF i'm
portance are likely to exert their inilu-
ence on the market today. 1t is 10 be sup
posed that both bulls and bears will be in
clined TO close their accounts over the ho!-
iGays. The shorts perhaps viii feel less
willing TO take the chances, and may b.
more eager to buy their stocks back. Th-rc
have been two days of advancing prices,
and although the gains have not been great
in this time il will be remembered thai
two good days have not come together here
tofore since the decline began near.y three
weeks ago. The average price Of sto Ks
has declined from six 10 ten points. The
reaction has been only point or more.
Ills the general opinion that the public
has sold out its stocks at the low pr.ces
the bull leaders have bought them. These
matters suggest that the level may be
pushed up trife today. The trading is
not likely TO be brisk. however The next

vance. The top price reached was 1876 SIS,
or four points above that of the low OF the
day before There was no suggestion Of a
bear market In Burlington at any time IN
the day. At the close a recession OF nearly
point occurred on realizing TO { k
