WALL STREET REVIEW -s DISPOSITION TO ACQUIESCE IN

NEW YORK. Feb 4.-There was an attempt on the part of an element of professional op- orators to awaken some speculative interest in the market this morning, but the general disposition was to acquiesce in dullness and neglect after yesterdays disappointment of the expectation of a decision in the Northei Securities Company case. It is the general opinion in the financial district that any pro nounced activity must await the delayed de- cision in this case some striking new devel- opment in general conditions.
