NEW YORK. Feb. 2.--There was some
contraction of the rates of activity in
stocks today and resistance to the recent
was feverish and Uncertain throughout,
as was shown by the constant huctuations
of prices. First prices of the day showed
offerings of various stocks appeared;
These were taken at the low level and
prices rallied. on subsequent declines the
appearance of buying orders was eff
fective in the same way. This buying
was generally credited to banking inter-
ests, with the purpose of exercising a
benevolent control of the market and OF
opposing the raiding tactics of the bears.
4 Finding obstacles of this character to
their efforts TO get prices lower, the bears
were disposed to cover their short con-
tracts Most Of the losses were recov-
cred under this process.
The tone of the market continued fever
ish up TO the closing. The demand did
not follow up the advances with eager
ness and the market became dull on the
rallies. The days news offered no new
developments of Importance The hrst
selling was professedly. based to some ex-
tent on the serious tone of the public dis
cussion of the relations with Japan. An
unfavOrable impression was caused by
the large growth of railroad operating
expenses shown by the reports of De-
cember earnings the increase being sur
ficient in some cases to cause a decline
in the net return compared with last
year. A report was current OF an In
