NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in Al
the Leading Stocks

New York, Feb. 2O.-The market to-
day gave unmistakable evidence of a
disposition to shake off the apathy and
timidity, which have been it's chief char
acteristic ever since the early part OF
the year Stocks of almost all descrip-
tions were taken with apparent free
dom and confidence, rails and shippings
alone showing comparative backward
ne-c
Dealings were on a broader and larger
scale than at any time within the past
fortnight and comprehended an unusual
variety of issues but seasoned or rep
resentative stocks were most in favor,
especially industrialS, and equipments.
Commission houses reported a moder-
ate revival of public interest, but a very
large proportion of the turnover, which
aggregated 100000 shares, resulted from
further covering by an over extended
short interest.
United States Steel and other favor
ties furnished the basis for much of
the days business. Steel made an eX-
IRENE gain of 2 3S points on steady
accumulation, which comprised many
large individual lots. All industrials
were better by one to two points, with
six for Virginia Coal. Iron and Coke
Coppers were next in point of de-
mand, virtually every issue of that di-
vision gaining l to points, Utah and
Smelling being steadily absorbed. Affil-
lated shares, such as the zinc issues and
National Lead, also reflected the higher
prices prevailing for those products.
War and semi-war shares. as repre-
scented by the oils, motors, industrial
alcohol, feathers and sugars, made va
riable but general gains. and utilities,
notably Ohio Gas and Peoples Gas, reg
.istered further recoveries from last
weeks losses.
Aside from Atlantic coastline. which
rose three points, advances in rails
We're mainly limited to coalers and mi
nor issues. New Haven regained IA
points on the reassuring statement made
by the directors regarding the roads A.
nancial requirements International
bonds were irregular on further heavi-
ness in the United Kingdom shares To-
tai sales, par value. aggregated S2,755,-
600. United States bonds were unchang-
ed on call.
