the second call there was les activity on the part OF

take advantage by pressing their options on tie

strong one snd confirms the views very generally eH'
messed that the Arguments for fall have been nearly
exhausted and that the market j now in condition
to respond promptly to any favorable Circumstance IN
the financial All railroad worii which may turn up.
IT. con ma.ion Of this position the fact that the
marke; no longer feels the influence OF tae continued
returLs Of unfavorsbe traffic on the Western ROADS.
The small business OF the second week OF November
on tie Rock Island and Michigan Central roads was
known at the Second Board. but the quotations FOR
these stocks remained steady There appears, however,

Saturday. Erie was quite buoyant, advancing TO l. !,
seller thirty, probably on tic improved state OF it,
traffic Hudson River was strong at 81 bid. Mehi-
gar Central opened at Il, bu, weaker ID closing
transactions and sold at So. The Harlem Issues were
finn, especially Preferred, which advanced TO 81,
closing a. 81 bid. As in the Of the
S,u.b.rn Guaranteed stock. there is G difference o.
opip;on whether Harlem Preferred carries back div-
derds or not Shoald the question be decided N the
affirmative the bsck dividends 81 2 cent? would ex-
coed The present market value Of the stock. We
know that portion s. least OF the management take
that view Of the question. When the Company re-
sumes the payment OF dividends upon Preferred stock
this matter will probably come up for set tie neni.
