text: FINANCIAL-COMMERCIAL NEW YORK STOCK AND BOND MARKET By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—was only after considerable hesitation and several false starts that prices moved decisively upwards in today's stock market. The early tone was unsettled and there was renewed realizing at the close. Advocates of higher prices seemed to be in dread that some outbreak of special liquidation might meet them, as was encountered yesterday in the Gould stocks and the Interborough Metropolitan bonds and which made the upward movement abortive before the end of the day, but no such obstacle intervened today and the turn against the short interest was successfully achieved. The demand for that element, when it commenced to treat, aided materially in advancing prices. The approach of a Saturday holiday increased the deposition of the bears to reduce their commitments. The one item of news of any importance which might be assumed to offer new renditions was the decision of the question of the right of the Harriman railroad securities company interests to vote their holdings of Illinois Central stock which was contained in the opinion delivered in the Illinois court. The outcome was viewed in the financial district as a method for settlement of a dispute which has been unsettling influence in other quarters as much from the fact of being kept open as from any questions at issue in the case. There was but one sale of Illinois Central stock today, and that at a decline of a point from the previous sale. Union Pacific, in contrast, was bought heavily. In references were sought to be drawn of a bearing of this decision on the right of Union Pacific to receive the Southern Pacific dividends which the federal government authorities seek to enjoin, although the Illinois Central suit hinges on a state law of Illinois only. The assumption of the large part played by short covering in the advance was corroborated by the special strength shown by some stocks regarding which development occurred, which have been subjects of expressed fears previously. Baltimore & Ohio has been weak at various times on reports of new financing. Today's announcement of the sales of $6,000,000 of one-year 6 percent notes, however, was followed by a vigorous advance in the stocks. This road also '. came forward : today amongst the first with a statement of net earnings for January. ■ which while they : bowed a decrease of 8887.859 to 11,01!, ITS compared with last. year, were apparently not so poor as the previous professional sellers 'of the stock had feared..

BUTTER AND EGGS MAINTAIN PRICES ACTIVITY AT PRODUCE EXCHANGE THE CAUSE All Other Lines of Produce Are Without Feature, Except Citrus Fruits, Which Show a Surplus Active trading at the produce exchange yesterday maintained the prices in butter and eggs. The receipts of both were large. Eggs showed more firmness at the advance of Wednesday than for some time at any price. The market on both commodities seems to have settled and may remain firm for some time. Onions are increasing in quantity and are becoming easier, while potatoes are gaining some firmness by reason of the small receipts this week. The movement is such that it will not take long to consume the surplus. Fresh vegetables are unchanged and fish and poultry remain firm and active. Fruit trading is without feature, except that the superabundance of oranges and lemons holds prices down except on extra fancy grades. Produce Receipts. Eggs, cases... Butter, pounds...
