Impression Upon

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Active buying

more than a point at the opening Of
the stock market today. The other

long side of the market for a time
when large purchases of the high
priced railroad stocks began to be
made.

ings of a number of railroads helped
| to stimulate the market. Central Rail-
road OF New Jersey was in scant sup
pt. and although bids were raised
steadily there were no transactions
until the price reached 375. In the re-
mainder of the list there were many
gains of ! to 2 points. Bond were
firm.
2 p. m.-Trading operations were sus-
pended to a large extent in the later
dealings. Fluctuations were of a
trivial character, but the general tone
was strong, and even American To-
bacco made up its large decline.
8 D. m.-The market closed easy.
Proft-taking sales made a definite I'm
preston on prices in the last hour. The
reaction ran to a point in Reading and
Union Pacific and left little of the gain
in several other important stocks.
