New York. Feb. 4.-Renewal Of IL
quotation in several Of the high priced
dividend paying railway shares and
continuance of the recent pool manip-
ulatioq In certain Of the specialties,
notably the automobile Issues. were
productive Of some mixed price move
ments in todays stock market. Cana
dian Pacific and Southern Pacific as
well as part Of the Granger group were
under pressure, which seemed to re-
suit moro from liquidation than short
selling.
Rumor attributed the selling Of Ca
madam Pacific and some other favor
ties to the foreign account, but inter-
national brokers reported little IL
quotation for Europe. United States
Steel and the coppers were sympa-
thetically affected, the one notable
exception being Bethlehem Steel,
which was the most active feature Of
the morning session, with a rise OF al
most points, which Il maintained, de-
spite another authoritative denial Of
the rumor that the stock IL soon to be
placed on a dividend.
American Sugar was exceptionally
weak among the issues Of its kind,
losing 4 points on persistent selling,
while beet sugar declined point.
United States Realty, one Of the DOR
mant specialties. dropped points to
40, its minimum. In the final hour
prices underwent readjustment,
some stocks making partial recovery,
while others fell back again. APPROX
al Of the Erie Railroads application
to increase the interest rate on the
notes Of one OF its subsidiaries will
probably be followed by new financing
for that account. In addition to the
$1,000, 600 Manitoba loan taken by To-
cal banking interests, syndicate
made up mainly Of New York bank
ers was awarded the 100000 Balti-
