PORK MARKET UNDERGOES THIRD DECLINE

RUMOR OF SALE BOLSTERS STOCK EXCHANGE TRADE B. & 0. Buys Western Maryland From Rockefeller, Report. Jin United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—Reports that John D. Rockefeller had sold a large interest in Western Maryland railway imparted strength to that issue in early dealings on the stock exchange here today. The market in general was firm with several leading issues scoring good advances. Maneuvers The initial sale of Western Maryland was at 34, up a point, and in the first fifteen minutes it had risen another half point. Speculative maneuvers again were evident in Wheeling & Lake Erie, sending the issue up 2 points to 66- New Haven, B. & 0., Erie, New York Central, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and Northern Pacific also moved higher. Athison hnd C. & O. were I fractionally lower. | Broadening of the buying movement in railroads checked the selling of industrials and the market was playing an upward trend around noon. Issues with merger prospects continued to head the forward movement in the carrier group. Lehigh Valley engaged in another sharp uprush, selling at 120, up more than 5 from its recent low. Rockefeller Sells Strength in Western Maryland, which maintained the best levels of the current advance, was based on the announcement overnight by Dow Jones & Cos. that the Rockefeller interests had disposed of holdings to another railroad. It was later announced here that this road was the Baltimore & Ohio, although the latter does not seek control. It was believed that any interest shown by the B. & O. in Western Maryland can mean only better things for the latter ♦oad. Quick rallies from early lows in General Motors, Baldwin and other industrial leaders were followed by resumption of bullish activities in special issues. Consolidated Cigar jumped 2% ponts, to 82%, responding to a showing of better thafi sl2 a, share for 1926. INVESTS IN AGRICULTURE Wall Street Firm Loans Millions io Raisin Growers.

STOCK EXCHANGE MIS SEME NOTABIEEVENTS Wall Street Fixes Eyes on Meeting of Rail Directors. By Elmer C. Walzer Manager United Press Financial ServicS NEW YORK. Feb. 2.—While developments outside of the stock market Tuesday were note, several events of importance are itr store for today, principally the meeting here of the Van Sweringen brothers and the Pere Marquette directors’ meeting. Stocks Tuesday turned Irregular near the close after continuing their upward movement earlier in the session. Several notable gains ivere scored, however, and the confidence in the market did not appear to have been badly shaken. Just now the market, after a month or more of irregularity and professional manipulation is prone to hair-trigger changes either way. With an almost unwieldy short interest involved, bears are willing to go to any length to prevent an advance, and the bullish element has not been given a strong enough pry the market out of its rut except for brief intervals. Rail Meetings Wall'Street was in an expectant mood over the probable outcome of the Nickel Plate meeting, the belief being that the long-delayed merger plan might be accepted by the various roads involved. Feb. 1 was the deadline set by the Cleveland brothers for the presentation of a new plan, and that, passed, Pere Marquette directors are no longer obliged by a gentleman's agreement to withhold dividend action. Incidentally Pere Marquette's meeting is also to be held today, and if no further action is taken on the new Nickel Plate line an extra dividend may be declared even though this meeting is not for such purpose. It was announced that the State of Bolivia would float a loan for $14,000,000 today. Tuesday’s new bonds running well over $100,000,000 and headed by the second largest railroad offering in United States history, $95,000,000 for Missouri Pacific Railways, presaged continuance of heavy new financing in February perhaps even to the extent of eciipsing the record totaal of over $600,000,000 in January. Money Easy Following the quick sale of the Missouri Pacific issue, the market took on renewed strength and various groups moved higher. Money rates continued easy, with time funds even getting below 4% per cent in some instances. General Motors started strong and led the whole list upward, closing up on United States Steel common, which was making less progress. At the close, however, both of these issues were lower, as were several other representative rails and industrials, including Pullman. Loree Denies Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred got under way after a day of hesitation and was bid up more than 11 points. It closed the day with a net gain of 10*4 points. The common was up 2%. Pittsburgh & Virginia also moved higher. While the advance in these issues was going on L. F. Loree denied that he was trying to get control of Wheeling. Bonds again exhibited a strong tone in active trading.
