An outburst of active buying in the last half hour of the New York stock market today sent prices soaring from 1 to 3 points above the closing level of Saturday, Union Pacific reached 173, a gain of 2 points, and gains of 2 points or more were recorded in Reading, Unit ed States Steel, Missouri Pacific and of over a point in St.

Paul, Amalgamated Copper, American Smelting, Northern Pacific and other leading issues. Prior to this, continued high call loan rates had been a deterrent to speculative activity, and In the early dealings prices dipped for a time be low the last sales of the old year. The closing rally sent prices to the best of the day, and trading was brisk. To tal ales were about 400,000 shares and $3,400,000 bonds. Rumors of councilmanlc antagonism to the proposed Philadelphia Rapid Transit financing plan supplied the principal development of the first local market in the new year today.

While there was no confirmation of the ru mor, still the tractions were visibly affected, Union Traction being espec ially heavy, declining to 43, while Rapid Transit shaded to 18. It is no great secret that since the retirement of Clarence Wolf from the directorate and from the office of vice president there has been a very de cided change in the sentiment at the City Hall insofar as Transit affairs are concerned.

PENDORA PARK IN RUINS East Reading's ''White City" is Wiped Out by Fire Fire, believed to have been of in cehdiary origin, almost destroyed Pen dora Park yesterday morning.

The fact that nearly every part of the pface burned at once leads to the belief that oil or oil soaked rags had been scat tered about and touched oft as nearly at the same time as possible. It wais after 5 o'clock that Mrs. Thomas Hartman, who lives in the cottage in the north end of the park ground, saw the buildings ablaze, tha most fire for the moment being in what was known as the Pit In a few moments the other buildings were in volved. William Hartman, a son of the woman who discovered the fire was sent to send in an alarm and did so from box 23. When the firemen arrived most of the buildings were in ruins.

The owner of the park, William P. Sweeney, was on, the ground shortly after the alarm sounded, and was un able to understand how the. place got ablaze. There was ho fire in any of the buildings excepting in the skating rink, where there was a stove. This had been in use on Monday evening while skating was in progress, but the fact that the rink was among the last buildings to take fire refutes the be lief that the blaze had been caused by the stove.

Theodore Reuther, living at Third and Walnut streets, and' Matthias Eisenbise, 1333 Cotton street, who were at the rink on Monday evening, and among the. last to leave the place, made the statement yesterday that on that night they saw two men dodging about the buildings and acting jna most suspicious manner. It was apparent that the men did not want to be seen, and, upon the approach of Reuther and Eisenbise, hid behind some of the buildings. When Reuther and Eisenbise heard that fire had de stroyed the buildings at the park the incident of the men the jiight be fore flashed through their: minds. Mr.

Sweeney, the owner, estimates his loss at between $10,000 and $15, 000, and nearer the latter figure, with little insurance. He said that a man by the name of Dodson, of Columbus, been. negotiating for the rental of the and that he was to have come to Reading some time in Febru ary to arrange fpr taking it over.

They carried some insurance with the Monongahela Company. An Investigation as to thecause of the fire is being made by the authorities. The park was built a little more than three years ago by a group of Reading men and it has never been a aying investment. About two years ago trouble began to arise over bills and the various suits got into the courts. The result was that the owner of the property, Mr.

Sweeney, took over the entire It was located in East Reading, along Haak street between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets and stretched to the Mineral I IX BOSTON. Vassar.
