IDEA TO MAKE 1T INDICATION
THAT SITUATION is WELL uN-
DER coNTRoL-eARY sPEecH's
EFFECT.
BY c. e. HARRINGTON.

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-The bear ele-
ment got the upper hand early in to-
days trading. Reading taking the
lead This stock broke early over u
point on the sale OF a large block.
Steel common, however, was well
supported. Ii is evident that Mr.. Nor
gan Is making almost personal mat
ter OF the support OF this stock, the
idea being To make IL an Indication
that the situation is well controlled.
Nowadays when man who feels
that he must be doing something in
the market, Is unable TO make up his
mind about anything else, ha sells a
little United States Steel short be-
cause he thinks II safe.
Many OF the leading houses having
access TO inside politics consider the
speech OF Judge Gary at the Illinois
society dinner as a practical indorse-
ment OF the Roosevelt policy. Ii ia
held that much OF the strength Of
United States Steel shows that while
the market will be Influenced more or
less by politics and plenty OF II at
that. all the developments that way
will not be necessary all on the bear
side.
". p. Rumors.
The manager OF very active brok-
erage branch office In Washington
says he has not the slightest doubt
that the administration has SUFFICIENT
evidence OF a personal and general
character against the Hartman COM
bination TO justify the present selling
OF Union Pacific.
Houses with washington connec-
tons have been without exception sell
ing stock during the past week. They
say that the administration has some
unsupported sources Of strength and
that not all the great banking inter
ests are really opposed to its policy.
At the close the market. while not
at the lowest, showed substantial
decline on the day. The best support
came from traders covering shorts TO
even up, but outside of this the buy
ing was not particularly good, al
though even at its weakest 1t was
plain that the market was not at
lowed to get out OF hand.
