Susquehanna THE OIL DAY IN STOCKS (larket Slows Down Alter the first Hour DeatsaS rell OM sag Prlee Mevemteat Raetrietes te Nerrew Limits. Tas Bs, Oai aaa Prevlales Msrksts. New York, Feb. a brief period of strength and activity in the early part of the day, the stock market fell Into a state of dullness which restricted price movements during most of the session to narrow limits.

Prices advanced readily in the first hour, under the stimulus of a resumption ot last Saturday's buying and the anxious efforts of short interests to cover. With the execution of buying orders which had accumulated over the week end demand fell off apparently. Traders who have been persistently attempting to force a reaction seized the opportunity to sell the market, which eased off, but not to an extent sufficient to lend much encouragement to bear operators. During the remainder of the day prices held fairly steady at a point somewhat below the best, but In the final hour most gains w.erc wiped out. New fork Central and United States Steel were especially weak at the close.

Some selected issues held their strength well through the day. Reading, which has been in good demand at steadily advancing prices for soma weeks, reached 161ft, but declined at the close. Reports of better conditions In the steel trade had a favorable effect on prices of a number of equipment companies, including American Locomotive, Pressed Steel Car and American car. Missouri Pacific touched its high point of the year when the report became current that an experienced western railroad man had been selected as its executive head. Shares of the Texas company declined abruptly at the news of a proposed bond Issue of $12,000,000, but later recovered most of the loss.
