STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The market to- day has again been reactionary in tone, and prices have had quite . setback from the high points of early in the week. This reaction would seem likely to continue through tomorrow and pos sibly over Monday, when the market ought to be purchase for turn at least. Whether the turn will be per- manent and whether the upward move- ment will be resumed will depend on developments as they come to hand day to day. but 1t would seem, unlikely that the bull, market would start off right, now, and it seems more probable that we may have a period of quieter times and further weak spots until the end of March. It Is important, that we get matters straightened out in Washington, and especially that we get which has been. engendered by the very sensational and scandalous revelations which have come to light in connection with the oil leases. Sales, 990, ,9O0-Post < Flagg to shannon & Co. M
 NEW YORK, Feb. .s.-stocks opened about, on a parity with last nights closing prices, but soon developed q re- actionary tendency which became more pronounced as the session continued. The greatest weakness was displayed in. the high-priced issues which had been going up at too rapid a pace dur ing the past few weeks. U. s. Steel. Baldwin, American Can and Stakeholder were under pressure, and lost from g to $4 from yesterdays highs. .ee There was little news to, account for the setback. but traders have been in clined to sell stocks since the beginning of the week, and perhaps even the firm believers in higher prices are will ing to bring about lower prices for the time being. Oil investigations. etc.
 were advanced as reasons for the de- cline, and it was rurnored that certain big operators had turned bearish, but it is probable that these are excuses for bearish tactics and natural re- actions rather than reasons. There were few, stocks that were able to hold their own, but among the exceptions was Marketable oil, which, after a slight reaction, rallied about two points. Toward the close, the market broke away from unseftling influences of the oils, and small rallies took place in several groups, especially rails.

Coming To Auditorium.

The concert which Fritz Kreisler is to give in Masonic auditorium on We'd nesday evening will mean much to all lovers of music in general and to stu dents of the violin in particular. In the world of music today Kreisler oc- cupics a peculiar place. Technically. at least. the equal of any violinist before the public, the possessor of a tone fla nous the world over for its sensuous beauty, be adds to these qualities gifts of interpretation both of the classic and romantic composers which puts him in class by himself. His pro- grams are models of their kind and constitute as far as possible within the limits of one concert a review of the best music that has been written for the violin.
