FAILED IN
MARKET ATTACK
Bulls Returned and After
First Furry Sent Prices
Upward Again

New York, Feb. 14.-Professional
traders in stocks began the day with
an effort to put prices down but al
though the market was somewhat I'M
settled at the outset they We're able
to make little impression on the list.
The attack having failed, operations
were begun on the other side of the
market and these met with more
success. In the last hour buying was
conducted confidently or a large scale
and prices of the leading stocks We're
advanced from one to two points.
Union Pacific, Reading, the Hill
stocks. the Fries, United States Steel
and the coppers We're the leaders in
strength and activity.
In attacking the list at the opening
traders reasoned hat the heavy SELL
ing movement, which was in progress
when the market closed Saturday
would be continued today, the bears
having additional ammunition in the
January tonnage figures for United
States Steel and the unfavorable bank
statement both made known after the
close of the market last week..
United States Steel gave way to
50 Ia, the lowest price of the year:
the list eased off, but losses were not
large, and it was soon evident that
effective support was being offered.
Prices rallied before the end Of the
first hour and trading became dull
with only a nominal movement until
the sharp advance late in the day.
The upward movement was said to
be due largely to covering Of short
contracts. although there seemed to
be indications of renewed accumula-
ton Of some stocks. The movement
in the Hill group attracted especial
attention.
Buying Of these stocks was infu-
enced by the testimony of James ].
Hill before the Stanley investigation
committee. implying that, his opinion,
the Great Northern ore property was
worth at least $500, 100000.
Great Northern ore rose nearly 2
points early in the day, when the gen.
eral market was barely steady and
the shares Of the Hill roads later
moved up strongly.
Some Of the %specialties were heavy.
American Tobacco fell back 4 points.
