Dimensions of the Market Diminish in
 Extent and Volume.
 New York, Feb. 1.-The dimensions of the market diminished to-day to some extent, both in the volume of the transactions and in the size of the fiuc- tuations. A number of the less prom inent stocks moved widely, but the mass of securities which usually make up the market were sluggish. Union Pacific reasserted it's leadership in the market, and the strength which 1t de- veloped served to hold prices elsewhere after a rather distince sagging ten dency had become manifest. The early movement upward was fairly general, although it lacked the lately prevalent demand for London account, operations for that center shifting to the selling side to-day. The movement was gen erally attributed to a covering up of short contracts put out late yesterday, largely under the apprehension that the dispute in the Equitable Life As- surance society would prove incapable of being healed. The policy of reconcil- iation which prevailed at yesterday afternoons meeting Of the directors was hailed with decided relief in Wall street, where some dread was felt of the consequences of the quarrel. This influence in stocks was short lived, but it was followed by the lively upward movement in number of industrial stocks, which are rarely conspicuous in the market. Movements in this class of stocks are not of strong sympathetic effect on the general list, and they spent their force rather quickly, to be succeeded by reactions. The two point rise in Union Pacific to a new high level was of more effect, and arrested the downward tendency in prices. The large size of the individual blocks of this stock which were dealt in were testimony to the large resources enjoy ed by the operators in it. The move ment had its customary accompani- ment in Northern Securities on the curb. The latter stock, on volume of trading unusual in the curb market, rose buoyantly several points above it's previous record price to the neighbor- hood of 160. Great Northern preferred on the stock exchange jumped ten points on very light dealings. The talk of strike by the New, Haven firemen had some. adverse effect. With the late reaction in Union Pacific, prices else where fell back again, and the closing was heavy.
