A few of the highly speculative Industrials nnd spe cialties weie marked up In the eaily dealings and at dlffoictit times during the day In an effott to leslst tho de cline. The attempt ptoved unavailing to overcome the depiesslon In the gen eral list and the manipulative stocks In some cases finally weakened though 11 few letnlued a net advance. Ten nessee Coal was marked up a point at the opening but that was tho highest ot the dav Sugar, Tobacco. Brook Ivn Tianslt, Federal Steel and a few other stocks among the most pi emi nent Industilals v limited both above and below last night's pi Ices.

The American Car stocks lose 2 points each but the pieferitd leceded to the level at the opening Pressed Steel Car prefened advanced a iwilnt In the closing deal ings. These movements, a lullectlon, of the huge demand for lallroad equip ment growing out of the prosperity of the railroads had little effect upon the geneiul list. Tho American Hoop stocks weie strong on reported large earnings, rising 3 for the common nnd ui for the prefened. There were sonic large orders executed for United States Leather which nilsetl tho pi lee a point. The pieferred stock advanced In sym pathy but lost nil the gain.
