MERGER GOSSIP
 BOOSTING STOCKS
Railroad Issues Showing Re
 neWed Strength

New York, Feb. 3 LPl-Firmness of the stock market in the face of highly cratic fluctuations in some of the merger rails was the distinguish ing characteristic of today's session. Now leaders for the advance were found in both the rail and industrial groups, scores of issues recording ex- treme gains of to 9 points. Trading started off at brisk pace, but quit ed down somewhat in the early afternoon.
 Talk of possible decrease in the New York Federal Reserve redis- count rate at today's meeting was again rampant in the financial dis trict following the reduction in the official French rate. The bank of England rate was unchanged at SC cents leading to a rather general be- lief that the cut in the local rate. which is expected to follow reduc- tion in London, would be delayed at least another week.
 Wheeling and Lake Erie common Was dS IIll tllC SptIItl pIA AAiNi . breaking IA points to 6S and then rallying to 73 1-2. new high record for all time. Bears" were compelled to pay s1.50 day share in order to loan the stock to make delivery against short sales. The preferred touched Q new peak at 79&. West ern Maryland common also broke sharply when an offer to sell 1900 shares disclosed no bids, but it re- covered the loss.
 In the industrial division, steel oil railroad equipment, sugar and bak- ing issues gave the best demonstra- tions of group strength. Lacledge Gas with a jump of g points and Otis Elevator, with a gain of 5. featured the specialties. South Porto Rican Sugar, Houston oil. Baldwin and Butterick Publishing all sold to { points higher. Oils were bought in expectation of further favorable divi- dend developments.
 Trading expanded as the opening session progressed. but the advance was an orderly one. Pools resumed activities in a number Of issues, the highest prices in years being record ed by Columbia Carbon, Timken Roller Bearing, Phillips Petroleum and Wheeling & Lake Erie pre- ferred. Speculative interest in the rails was kept at fever pitch by the large number of merger rumors' in volving both large and small rail- roads which have been circulating in Wall streeet during the last few weeks. Chicago Great Western com mon and preferred, Western Mary land second preferred and Lehlsh Valley were among the first issues to sell a point or more above yester- days final quotations. While signs Of improvement were apparent in few , industries, easy money continued to provide the chief background for the | advance. Larger attendance in the customers rooms of leading com mission houses was construed as an indication of expanding public in- terest, but traders on the floor re- ported that professionals were still the dominating force in determining the movement of prices. Foreign ex- changes were irregular. Demand sterling was slightly firmer just above s4.S4 1-2 and French francs held fairly close to 3.9S cents but the Spanish and Norwegian rates each fell back about 10 points on overnight realizing.
