PRICES GOING UP
IN STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Feb. 1T.-Prices of
stocks rose farther today, al
though it was noticeable that
Reading, which made up more
than one-third of the aggregate
dealings yesterday. was pressed
for sales steadily in realizing
profits on the sharp rise yesterday.
There was no one stock as
prominent today as was Reading
yesterday, but the congestion of
dealings in Union Pacific and
United States steel and the ag-
gressive upward movement of
these stocks carried ont the indi
cation of large professional par
ticipation in the transactions
which made up the body of the
market
Another fact pointing to the
same conclusion was the manner
in which new Interpretations were
placed on facts that have been
public knowledge for some time.
This applied particularly TO the
view taken of the expected su-
preme court decisions bearing on
the antitrust law.
Reassuring views of the iron
and steel trade from a trade au-
thority as the expressed convic-
tion that the lull in demand was
due as much to distractions to
deliveries by weather blockades
of freight as to any falling off in
consumptiye demand. were a sus-
tanning influence in United States
steel and by sympa thy to other
stocks. There were large pur-
chases of that stock and Southern
Pacific for London account.
The fresh storm blockades all
through the western country and
the predictions of their extension
were without sufficient influence
to turn the prevailing tide of
sentiment
One Of the points advanced by
professional buyers of stocks was
the hope that the discipline dealt
by the stock exchange TO the
members concerned in the Colum-
. bus ard Hooking coal and iron
pool might invite public confidence
and attract outside participation
in the stock market.
The engagement of sl.25O.00O
in gold for shipment TO South
America for London account was
without appreciable effect on the
money market
Bonds were firm. Total sales
(par value), S3,373,000.

changed on call.
