NEW YORK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Feb. 8.-Business in the
stock market during the early and IN
termediate periods of today's session
was dull to an extraordinary degree,
but the pace quickened and the scope
of operations broadened perceptibly in
the final hour, a strong tone ruling at
the close.
Much of the sudden activity. of the
later dealings was OccaSiOned by a
decline in call money from to per
cent shorts accepting this as a prelude
to easier money rates. Rails, OILS,
steels and equipments featured the
sharp rebound at extreme gains Of to
) points. Sales amounted to 475,0O0
shares.
The most significant development of
the day was contained in circumstan-
tial reports that the steel industry
is rapidly approaching the stage of an
"open market" probably involving an
all-around reduction of prices.
Such a move on the part of the in
dependent manufacturers would occa-
sion little surprise. Observers of in
dustrial conditions have long insis ted
that increased consumption, both do
nestle and foreign, hinges largely on
lower schedules, especially for rail-
way equipment and structural mate
rails
Further price Establishments were
announced by leading oil interests, in
Guiding Standard Oil of New Jersey.
