STOCK TRADING ACTIVE
A Noteworthy Advance in Prices
Scored at the Opening.
Later in the Day the MnrEet Lost
These characteristics Without Any
the Frick-Carpegie Suit on Indus
trial Steel and Iron offerings.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA number OF
noteworthy advances were scored in the
early dealings in the stock market his
morning, when the trading was fairly ac-
tive, with speculative interest very well
diversified. The market subsequently
however, lost these characteristics and
became dull and reactionary. It's opening
tendency was to great extent contin-
uation of the tone that marked yester-
days dealings, and 1t appeared to be de-
termined by the general circumstances
that were effective then.
The subsequent reaction was without
any very definite explanation, and it APP
narrowness of the market itself and its
consequent inability to Withstand either
extensive profit realizing sales or agrees
sive bear attacks. At the opening of bust
ness all of the stel and iron industrial
stocks were notably strong. To a great
extent their tendency appeared TO reflect
the effect upon sentiment of the disclos-
ures published this morning regarding the
past and the prospective earnings of the
Carnegie Steel Company, growing out of
the Frick- Carnegie litigation.
II was apparently inferred from the
consequent revelations, that if that COM
pany was enjoying such unbounded pros
perity that the other companies must be
at least faring comparatively well, and,
at all events, the figures given in connec-
tion with tricks suit We're accepted as
confirmatory Of the recent glowing reports
regarding the earnings of the newer in
dustrial properties. The stocks of the
latter. however. did not retain their ear
lest tendency. but participated in the gen.
eral reaction the market afterward suf-
fered.
The Currency bill now before the Senate
was again a subject of general discussion
in the street, but ii did not appear TO in
duce any considerable operations for the
long account. The time money market
remained firm, but there were large offer
ings on call below yesterdays mean level.
London was again an inconsiderable factor
in the local market. although the opera
lions for foreign account were, on balance,
slightly on the buying side.
The early dealings showed some pro-
nounced advances in the railway list,
where Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio,
Southern Railway preferred, and Norfolk
and Western were conspicuous features.
but these gains were subsequently shaded
or altogether lost.
There was similar upshot 10 the very
pronounced rises that took place in Ten
nessee Coal and Iron, American Tobacco.
and Sugar Refining. but regarding the wide
fluctuations In these stocks there was lit
lie that was definite to set forth.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Lower in sympathy with the
IiNerpoOI Trading.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1i.-Wheat opened lower
in sympathy with the easier Liverpool
markets. Local traders sold rather free
ly, but the commission house buying was
large enough TO absorb their offerings.
Foreigners were on both sides Of the mar
ket, but principally on the long side. Paris
was ! TO lie lower. Clearances were
$50, 900 bushels. A reduction in the rail
rates 10 the seaboard has enabled the cash
people 10 work some wheat here today.
Shorts became alarmed in the last hour,
and their buying advanced the market

Corn closed 1-Sd1-ic over Tuesday.
There are claims here from certain direc-
lions Of very large shipping business,
rumors say as high as 100000 bushels.
Liverpool was 1-4d3- lower. Clearanees
were $4,000 bushels. Receipts were 622
cars, with $40 estimated for Thursday.
Oats closed where they did Tuesday. Re
ceipts were 351 ears, with 160 for Thurs
day. Clesrances were $1,000 bushels
There was a fair commission business, with
the West apparently selling and shippers
buying. The oats discount under corn is
not quite SO great today. 10 7-sc.
The decline in the hog market made pro-
visions moderately lower with most of the

some of ihe buying OF ribs and lard through
brokers was credited to prominent pack

reaction. in sympathy with grain.

the commission buying stopped almost en-
tirely. and some short selling in a few
stocks prevented any further advance. The
general list closed the day with small net
gains. but not at the top prices for the
day. The news of the day was all good.

dividend by the. Burlington directors,

statement Of the Federal Steel COMPANY

Money showed no signs Of becoming dearer

predictions OF the bears. The call loan

The outlook is considered excellent for

The annual report given out by the Fed
eral Steel Company, with its announcement
of another 1-2 per cent dividend on the
common stock. was in every way an ex-
cellent one. Briefly. the net earnings for
the year were SO, SOC, 600. There was ex-
pended for new construction. renewals,
and improvements, for a reserve fund for
depreciation. and for premium on bonds

for the year of $500 600. Adding 10 this

profits are seen TO be $500, 600 in round

The traction securities generally were
no; as buoyant yesterday as on the day be-
fore. Third Avenue declined several points
and Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Metropoli-
tan, after opening the session with
strength all sold off before the close q
point or moro. Brooklyn was probably the
best OF the group. with an advance to
70 3-s. and close at a SIS. The directors
Of Third Avenue were in session nearly all
day yesterday. and uncertainty as to their
action on the dividend question may, per
haps. be considered to have been the cause
OF the weakness in the group. II was SAID
shortly before 3 o'clock that a dividend OF
I per cent had been declared.

The meeting of the directors of the Burl
ington yesterday resulted in the deciara-
tion of the regular per cent dividend
rate on the stock. Another bull item, re
garding Burlington in particular. at pres
ent is the fine success of its refundins
plan. which cuts down the fixed charges
materially. 1t is said by officers OF the
company that there will be further re-
funding of outstanding high-interest bonds
from time TO time. st. Paul is fayorite
in speculative way because Of the semi
official promise that this stock also will
soon be on a 6 per cent basis. The mag
nifcent earnings of the Atchison are an
all sufficient reason for the good buying
of the preferred stock. Rock Island has
Jagged behind somewhat up TO the present,
but it Is said by insiders that the earnings
Of the company are heavy and that there
is every reason to believe that the stock
will soon narrow the gap between itself
