DULLNESS IN
STOCK MARKET

! NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The
s stock market gave additional evil
dence today Of sinking into dull
; ness and apathy. The situation
! is summed up in the fact that
! urgent liquidation has ceased to
5 press upon the market, while no
disposition makes itself manifest
( to accumulate stock with sufficient
determination to carry prices up
ward and hold them there.
The desire to see the definition
of the scope of the sherman anti
trust law which shall emanate
from the supreme court decision
in the American tobacco and
Standard oil cases is the accepted
motive for refraining from large
commitments in the market on the
part of the capitalists of the class
which makes the great specu-
lative movement.
The reassembling of the su-
preme court next week is expected
TO revive the influence of a weekly
watching for a decision in the
American tobacco case. A decision
is not looked for, however. until
the Standard oil case has been
submitted also for judgment.
From the low prices of last
Monday. marking the elimination
of liquidation. the rebound has
been substantial reaching to over
Il points in Reading. which led
the recovery. The professional
operators conducting the move
ment found insufficient demand to
absorb profit taking sales and
took warning from this fact of
the limitation of the market
The legal aspects of corporation
affairs are brought TO attention
by other incidents than the ap-
preaching supreme court decision
in the American tobacco case.
The filing of the brief by the
Reading council in the govern
ment suit for dissolution of the
anthracite combination and the
beginning of testimony again in
the Union Pacific merger suit
were reminders of other litigation
coming up from lower courts
which must be followed with in
terest by stock holders to its con-
clusion.
A rise in the private discount
rate in Berlin and the prospect OF
heavy loan issues in Paris in the
reha bilitation of flood damage had
some reflected influence here from
foreign markets.
Spectators We're disappointed
that the Canadian Pacific dividend
was not raised and there was a
sharp break in that stock in Lon
