RALLY LOSES
ITS MOMENTUM
Pools Succeed in Marking I'm
a Number of Specialties
3 to 6 Points

New York, Feb. 23.-(P)-The
rally in stock prices, which set in
tuesday, was resumed today, but
appeared to have lost much of its
momentum. Pools succeeded in
marking up number of specialties
s to 6 points, but renewed weakness
OF Y. 5. rubber and heavy offerings
OF Y. 5. steel common on the bul9es
tended to restrict bullish operations
IN other sections of the list.
In view Of the sharp reaction a
few days ago, considerable interest
was manifest in the weekly brokers'
loans statement to be issued by the
New York federal reserve bank aft
er the close Of the market. The
decline in stock prices ordinarily
would indicate substantial con-
traction in loans, although the Sit
u&tion has been complicated by the
calling Of assessments for the st.
Paul stocks under the reorganiza.
ton plan during the period covered
by the loan statement, it being as.
sumed in some quarters that these
payments would tend to keen loans
up.
Steel common was freely offered
around the lao level but General
Motors showed a firm urdertone on
predictions of record breaking first
quarter earrings. U. S. Rubber sold
down nearly points to ~ ~ in re.
Election of the further decline in
rubber futures. Montana Power
which scored a sensational advance
on Tuesday, also yielded to- profit
taking.
Bullish operations were most ef.
fective in American radiator. Bur.
roughs adding machine, Interna.
tional business machines, Case
threshing, Peoples gas, Greene Cam
anea copper and International Tel
ephone, all Of which sold 3 to 6
points above Tuesdays final quota
tions.
Rails held fairly well DESPITE the
publication of an unsatisfactory car
loadings report. Union Pacific,
Chesapeake & Ohio and q few 9th.
er leaders advanced q point or SO.
but Seaboard air line common
turned weak in the early afternoon.
The closing was irregular. Con-
flicting movements in the high
grade railroads occurred in the
final hour. Union Pacific went up
3 IL points to 1876 IL; the years
highest, while Atlantic Coast Line
slumped 5 LIZ to 10 1-2, q new 1928
low. Fluctuations in the industri-
ais, also mixed, were less pro-
nounced. A sudden gain L. 2 points
by Sinclair Oil betokened nervous
ness OF the short interest. Total
sales appropriated 100000 shares.
