Wheeling Alone Hops Up IS
 Points Today

New York, Feb. 4 Sensational fluctuations in the low priced rails, with an extreme jump of 16 points in Wheeling and Lake Erie con- mon, overshadowed all other devel- opments in today's stock market. Trading showed a substantial in- crease in volume, with nearly three score issues elevated to the highest levels in two years, or more. Indus trials showed less general strength.
 Business apparently is being maintained in fairly large volume. Except for report that copper prices were now around the lowest levels in two years. and indications of further downward readjust- .ment of Steel quotations In some centers, there was little of interest in the days trade news. Money rates were unchanged. with funds in plentiful supply. Wall Street still believes that cut in the New York Federal Reserve rediscount rate is inevitable, although 1t may be de- layed for as long as month.
 Wheeling and Lake Erie common opened ? points lower at 1, sud- denly jumped to 5. eased slightly, ran up to S4. drifted down a few points and then scared to sSs, as against a low of 27 1-2 last month. The preferred jumped points to S44. The scarcity of the floating supply and the high premium charged for the loan of the stock indicate that a substantial short in- terest is still locked in" in that is- sue.
 The so-called "Loree Stocks" as- sumed greater prominence today, with a 5-point jump In Wabash as the feature. Kansas City Southern was run up 3 points and Katy" common, Missouri Pacific and Gulf. Mobile and Northern all sold or points higher
 Houston Oil scared 2 points to the highest prices in years, and substantial gains also were record ed by Crucible, Continental Baking X, Dupont and U. s. Cast Iron Pipe. Such recent leaders as U. s. Steel Common, General Motors and Allied Chemical were quiet. Southern Dairies A collapsed to a new low.
 While there undoubtedly was some disappointment over the failure of the directors of the New York Federal Reserve bank to cut the rediscount rate at yesterdays meeting, 1t failed to dampen bull ish enthusiasm in the stock mar ket. Rails were again the centers of speculative interest. Wheeling < Lake Erie common, after selling down below II, rallied to a new high record for all time at 75 be- The stock exchange today began an inquiry into recent transactions in the preferred issue, but this was without market effect, at first. Wa bash common was brought forward as the new leader in the rail group. quickly running up over 3 points 10 around 52, the highest price ever recorded. Baldwin quickly converted loss of 1 point into a point gain. A. NJ. Byers. Warren Bros. and Columbia Carbon were raised to the highest levels in years.
 WALL STREET OPENING
 New York, Feb. R-Stock prices moved irregularly higher at the opening of today's market. U. S.
