Rock Island and Northwestern, as the
features. The first named rose from 1881
to 1909, Pacific Mail fell to 9319; later,
the whole market became weak, and

a reaction of AaA per cent, and the
market closed steady, generally up

but reacted to 90. Express shares are
without special interest, though late in
the day it became known that Judge
CardoZo had granted injUnctions to
restrain the prosecution of all pending
against the American and Merchants
Union Companies, with an order to
show cause why the Injunction should
not be made perpetual.
