THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Feb 26.-The most no
table feature Of today's feverish and
excited stock market was the fact that
the railroad department apparently
succeeded in breaking away from the
influence of the Tndustrials and spec
ialties. The railroads succumbed in
the early dealings to the sympathetic
influence of violent declines amongst
the 1ndustrials. but during tn, lay a
confident demand sprang up from u
number of railroad stocks which lifted
the whole level of that DEPARTMENT
above Saturdays close. SO far as the
news Of the day went 1t she, little
light on the weakness of a number OF
lndustrials. The movement had all
