THE STOCK MARK EFT.
Railroads Go Up Despite Feverish SUR

Railroads Go Up Despite Fcverish Sur
rOundings.
New York, Feb. 26.-The most notable
feature of to-day in feverish and ex-
cited stock market was the fact that
the railroad department apparently
succeeded in breaking away from the
influence of the industrials and special
ties and differentiatins the undeniable
elements of strength in that department
from the Generalization and weakness
in the other. The railroads sucoumbed
in the early dealings to the sympathetic
influence of the violent declines among
the industrials but during the day a
confident demand sprang up for a num-
Der of railroad stocks, which lifted the
whole level of that department materi-
ally above Saturdays close.
So far as the news of the day went, it
shed little light on the weakness of a
number of the industrials. A report

Third Avenue stock are thriftily avail

touches the border line OF tragedy. Tn
til last evening no one had knowledge

is dead, and the News expresses its
profoundest sorrow for these \stricken

neither of these young men had the

us-the greatest misfortune both TO
