Various Stocks Respond to
Special influences.
MARKET UNDERTONE FIRM
Sustaining Strength Of Yesterdays
Dealings Continues.
INVESTORS BUSY AT BARGAINS
Steady Absorption of Newer Indus
trials Which Have fingered
at Low Levels.

NEW YORK. February 21.-The stock
market lacked the sustained strength
shown yesterday, and, although higher
range of prices was established, the move
ment was fitful and irregular.
Various stocks responded strongly to
special influences. but the general mar
ket succumbed at intervals to spasmodic
selling.
Investment buying was a factor in
strengthening stocks which ordinarily
moved conservatively. and there was a
steady absorption of the newer indus
trials which recently have gone through
a severe price adjustment. Bonds were
steady.
Reading. Steel and Union Pacific, the
three leaders. We're lower, Union Pacific
losing a point ST Paul. Republic Steel
and American Locomotive gained point
Trading in Can Continues.
Trading in Can shares was unusually
active Both the common and preferred
rose 2ih on the expectation that at to-
days meeting of the directors some &C
ton would be taken toward paying off
the accumulated dividend on the pre-
ferred stock.
When the immediate reallZlnS IN tne
standard stocks had been concluded
prices turned upward. Reading sold
point above yesterdays closing and
Union Pacific rallied briskly.
Weakness in Canadian Pacific and the
local gas stocks took the edge off of the
advance. and the list became quiet and
easy.
Increased Firmness Shown.
Eumors that part OF the back dividend
on Can preferred would be paid off at
today's meeting of the directors caused
heavy demand for the shares. and they
rose materially. Can sold at 3.'24. against
S5ss. yesterdays close. and 311.. the low
est OF the week. The preferred brought
126la or :. points above yesterdays final.
and points over the weeks lowest. In
creased firmness was shown in the re-
mainder of the list.
Profit king in the Can stocks started
a reaction. and Reading and Union Pacific
fell below yesterdays close. Spirited buy
ing of local traction stocks and bonds
brought out a report that the tangle in
the subway negotiations would soon be
adjusted

thickly, and she took tighter grasp
on his hand This was Dollie's
plan And that - that - that fat
pianist who would MT stick to a de
cent woman like Sandowlina, that
unworthy Walter - he was the man
Dollie preferred to Benny Won Lin
den, the richest publisher in the busi
ness, who had spent his money on her
royalty, and would have given his
blood as generously! The offensive
pianist, with his smile, and his com
placent bow, was addressing the au
dience, Dollie having taken nine bows
and made her exit.
81 take pleasure in announcing that
Mrs. Won Linden's next song is her
own composition, both words and
music, entitled MY OnTy Lore is
Benny. | thank YOU
81 can't stay here II IN SICK"
stammered Benny, but still he did not
go. He must hear it.
Walter said Mrs. an profess
sional woman S always Miss; so
she s payin you a graceful tribute,
said Sandowlina sadly. Walter don't
look as bad as he is, does he? 1t s
the musical part of him S responsible,
| spose.'
DOLLIE appeared in an ingenue
frock Of pink - Benny's color that
she wore so often at home - her hair
in loose braid. The pianist was play
ing the introduction with spirit, and
she commenced the verse. 1t was
waltz song, the words original and
the meter excellent, but the music
was inadequate. AT the second chorus
the audience was humming with her
as she trilled about the girl who met so
many, many But when she had said
good night, and put out the light, she
only dreamed of Benny. He was fit
ting better melody to it as she sang,
a real melody, strong enough for
long campaign, instead of an imita-
tive little waltz that was only an echo
Of the work of others. Take that
song, with his melody, and it would
make a hummer for a summer num-
ber. Why had not Dollie disclosed
this precious gift of woodworking to
him? 1t was this part of her that Lad
clamored for utterance, when she in
sisted on returning to the stage,
whereas she might have been his
partner - Won Linden and Won Lin
den,
Sammy s left his box" sighed
Sandowlina; and as she said it there
was Sammy in front of them, grin
ming like an ape. Benny waved him
off. He was not physically fit to en-
dure Sammy, nor the turning up of
the house lights, nor anything that
meant standing erect and talking or
listening. But Sammy would not be
repulsed.
Talk about putin it over! When
| got in back an seen her, she gimme

Sammy proceeded,
