MANY STOCKS DROP
A POINT OR MORE
sMarket Fails to Exhibit Re-
operative Power; No
Substantial Recovery

| New York, February 16-After several
Fweeks of hesitation and growing dullness,
during which the level of prices was al
fmost stationary, the stock market moved
lout of its narrow groove today and
turned downward decisively. 1t was the
most positive movement of the year,
(which forced down many stocks from / to
IL points. Trading was more active on
the downward swing, and after the force
of the selling movement had spent itself
the market failed to exhibit recuperative
power, and no substantial recovery was
effected.
The sharp break was ascribed primarily
ito the further suspension by the inter-
state commerce commission until Sep
tember II of the S per cent increase of
freight rates by the eastern roads. This
action was interpreted by traders as end
ing hopes of a speedy increase in rates
and caused selling of the eastern rail-
road shares for both accounts. Lack OF
support for these shares led to more or
general bear selling An unsettling in
fuence was the softness or steel, which
had been conspicuously firm for several
days. This stock was unloaded In large
amounts and as it gave way the indus
trials as q whole developed heaviness
Steel stocks We're depressed by reports of
wage reductions of steel mill workers.
Extensive European selling accelerated
the decline. Arbitrage brokers estimated
that $4,000 shares were sold here for Euro
pean account. Professional traders were
on the bear side, a position which most
of them have been maintaining for some
time. 1t has been a common saying in
the street that substantial reaction was
due, and when the market showed signs
of giving way today a vigorous bear as
sault Was inaugurated unhesitatingly.
Petroleum stocks were especially weak.
Mexican petroleum lost nearly points.
Western Union was strong and active
on the report that American Telephone $
holdings of the stock would be turned
over to a syndicate instead of being
thrown on the market. Copper shares de-
rived no benefit from the fortnightly re-
port showing decrease in European Wis.,
ible supplies.
Bonds were under pressure, although
some low priced issues rallied. Total
sales, par value, $2,S65,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February 16.-(Special)
Cables Were lower than due and our mar
ket opened at a slight advance, with good
feeling on the general sentiment, though
trading was light and without feature.
Profit taking was marked on the ad-
vance and the lack of buying orders
weakened the situation, with the decline
on small dealings following.
Nothing OF comment Is TO be noted.
General trade feeling continues hopeful
and a good early demand Is expected from
the lack of white cotton in the older
crop. The poor grades in the south are
believed to act against prices here. Bet
ter prices are believed In, but would be
buyers prefer to wait, at least at the
moment.
Liverpool is due to come to points
lower in the morning.

RISING TENDENCY
IN EARLY TRADING
Drop Follows in Afternoon
When Longs Realize
/, Profits Freely

New Orleans, February l6.-The cotton
market today had a rising tendency in
the early part of the session, chiefly on
reports of Improvement in the spot de-
mand, but In the afternoon longs real
lied profits rather freely and the market
fell Off under the offerings, closing at a
net loss Of to 10 points.
Gossip was more bullish than bearish.
1t was claimed that March spot COM
mitments are heavy and that spot shorts
already are showing anxiety over the sit
uation. Cotton men in from the interior
brought reports of stocks of spinna BILE
grades being cleaned up at many points.
At the high of the day prices were to
