Railroad List Sluggish, Probably Ow ing to Passage by the House of Rate Control Bill. NI3W YORK, Feb. 10. The feature in stocks today was the aggressive advance In the ran and steel induMxtaU, especially those wisoe property holdings are in the Southern regletvt. A fair proportion of the prominent trading Mocks were heavy. The Imminence of a double holiday bad its usual effect in diminishing the volume of professional operations. There were some rumors pointing to a. distretd short interest of long .sanding being closed out, especially In the iron and steel stock. But the strength in this group was more plausibly explained by the )crsistent rumors In circula tion that an old standing project had been re- ived for the conrolldatlon of the leading In dependent companies of the Southern region. Tonne?e Coal, Republic Steel and Slos Sheffield Steel were immediately concerned. Reports of the flotation of a bond liuc to take care of abort time notes by Republic Steel and .an assumption that provision would be made out of the proceeds for the accrued dividends on the preferred Mock were potent factoio In that stock. United States Steel Uceif shewed entire Indifference to the early stages of the movement, but rose strong at the last, Ih the railroad list most of the prominent stocks were sluggish throughout. The pa&ag of the rate control bill through the Houao of Representatives was held responsible In some quarters for tho heavincsm of the market. An other motive assigned was the pnwpcct of a weak bank statement. The money market con tinued easy, and gave no evidence of a di minution of the rtipply of available credits. The buoyancy of the iron Industrials held the latf-r market, but the indifference to the rail road Ibst woi unrelieved. The closing was rinn. Bonds weie irregular. Total &ales, par value. $$,200,000.
