VERY SILL TRADING
111 THE STOCK MARKET
New York. Feb. T. This was one of
the very dull days for trade on the
tock exchange. Up to 11 o'clock the
sales totaled but 134.000 shares. At 12
clock they were ziu.oou. l ociock
240.000 and at 2 o'clock 270.000 shares.
There was a. general lack of interest In
the market although a few issues
opened higher, while the majority
started a fraction lower than yeaterda
There was a considerable pressure I
Baltimore & Ohio again today and at
one time today it was 3 points lower
than yesterday' after a rather steady
opening. Brooklyn received some at
tention from shorts who sold after the
opening gain of a fraction and forced
that Issue down a like amount with B.
& O.
Call loan rates ran in tha same groove
as during the past few days, sales being
made at 1 and 3 per cent during the
day. The market aeema to be suffering
from stage fright and ware call loans
to sell higher it would very likely put
