Feb. 1. Early operations caused pronounced movements In one of the stocks and uninteresting developments elsewhere. Ontario A Western was the feaure, rising to 51. Leather preferred was bid up steadily and scored a gain of over 2 points. In the railroad list Reading Read-ing fell back sharply, while Pennsylvania rose strongly. But few of the standard stocks moved as much as one-half during the first hour, and the more important specialties covered about the same range. Quite a brisk demand for railroad stocks developed, s United States 8teel was also largely bought, gaining nearly a point. Ontario & Western rose to 51. The price level was lifted a fraction all arounl. Bonds were firm at noon. Conspicuous buying of stocks ecased after af-ter 12 o'clock, but there was enough general gen-eral inquiry to hold prices relatively firm. Union Pacific got a shade over 1.23. Amalgamated Amal-gamated Copper fell off slightly, and V. S. Steel was realized on. Peoria and Eastern advanced 2 Meantime Chicago & Alton ran off 1. and Northwestern 1. Excepting the wide fluctuations in the iron and steel group, which did not exert ex-ert any influence elsewhere, speculation was featureless and dull. Union Pacific was carried up a point to a new record for the movement, and Ixuisville St Nashville rose 1. There were gains of 1 to 2 for Chicago. St. Paul.
