HEAVY REALIZING
CAUSED REACTION
Sentiment Also Influenced
by Railroad Rate Bill.
BANK STATEMENT A FACTOR
Considerable Strength Shown by Iron
and Steel Stocks and Other
Industrials
BANK STATEMENT A FACTOR

NEW YORK, Feb while there was
considerable prof1t-tal1ing in the stock
market today, buying OF some OF the
high-grade investment shares was con-
tinued, and as a rule the reactions which
took place elsewhere were extremely
small. Delaware and Hudson at one time
showed a maximum advance of 212 per
cent, although the closing was only II
per cent above last night. Reading open
ed strong, but sold off later, closing at d
small net loss. New Haven was absorb
ed. and the price advanced 4 per cent on
small sales. Great Northern preferred
scored a 2-per cent rise. Northwestern
sold up IA per cent, but finished with
a net loss of a point.
Iron and Steel stocks showed decid-
ed firmness. Strength was shown by
National Lead, Federal Smeltings, Gen
eral Electric, American Wooden, Peo-
pies Gas, and American Ice preferred.
Although the reactions today We're
largely in the nature of end of the week
realizations, possibly some influence was
exercised on trading sentiment by the
decision OF the House Republicans TO
push the railroad rate regulation bill.
The bank statement was unfavora BILE,
and its publication was the signal for
aggressive bearish operations.
The late dealings gave indications of
increased bear pressure, and the market
closed heavy.
